"Decorative Bones" - (SJ21.24)
In 2021 I participated SculptJanuary to force myself to practice sculpting thoroughly.
I was lucky that nothing got in my way that month, so I was able to sculpt all 31 topics. Most in January, the last in early February...
"Decorative Bones" was the topic of SculptJanuary 2021 Day 24. - The little dog created some healthy chaos :-)
I started a new blend file and appended the naughty dog from Day 7...
I could use him, but his pose had to be changed a lot...
...but that didn't work out as well as expected...
...because of my clumsiness he got a broken back, a crushed nose and shattered legs!...
...but thankfully it was repairable...with some time and effort...
...he looked a bit better already...
Then...something completely different...
...I modeled a plinth...
...something our dog messed with...
His snout should open more...
...that didn't go without problems either...it got a torned jaw and cracked cheekbone!
...but with a little more effort and patience that also turned out well...
...now I modeled a foot of a skeleton...
...with sufficient geometry...
...to sculpt it more naturally...
His muzzle had to be opened wider for this...
Now I appended some other bones from Day 26 (I worked on Day 24 and Day 26 simultaneously,
as they both required parts of a skeleton). Their scale was very different, but that was easily adaptable...
The old, yellowed bones didn't fit here... On Day 26 it were real bones, yellowed and weathered...
...but here they had to look new and plastic...
I also imported the hands and forearms...
They also had to be whitened.
And with the skull the same story...
Okay, this seemed good enough to me...
Day 24 was also finished.
