This anatomical maquette is my first ever attempt in clay sculpting. Made under the guidance of former Robot Chicken sculpture Lesley Padien (lesleypadien.blogspot.com) in a sculpture for animation course, giving me the means of producing a studio quality maquettes.

This project helped me develop a thorough understanding of scale, proportion and 3D space not only through sculpting but also through armature building, relating their importance of anatomy and physiology to sculpting the character. 

​

   This particular character was chosen not only as a project familiarize myself with charecter anatomy and skelletal structure, but also as a homage to iconic stop motion legend Ray Harryhausen's work on Jason and the Argonots, as well as my time as a four year varsity fencer in high school.
