I'm trying to sculpt a dead African forest elephant for our Zama project. This is because I don't expect any of the actual elephant models in the game to survive past the first 15 minutes! Ideally, I want a dead model to replace each live one when slain.
It is safe to say that it is an at an early stage... I feel that I have the shape very approximately right but none of the details are added, yet. It's much smaller than most elephants we see, at roughly 40mm to the shoulder.

Oh Nellie!
I packed some greenstuff onto the trunk this AM...
Most elephant models come in two halves, I woner if you couldn't start by pulling a copy of one of those, then modify it to look dead?
I have to say, what you have here is pretty close already. Your sculpting skills in green stuff are amazing.
Hi Allan, but no one does a nice African Forest Nellie! Mind you I have my fingers crossed for Aventine's one, due out in the new year.
It's looking better today; head and front legs are more or less there. Photo tomorrow.
Damn ! They killed Kenny ! Err : Nellie !
Have a look tomorrow for the updated photo. It is starting to look quite elephant-like.
