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.

Dead Nellie
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.

Oh Nellie!
ReplyDeleteI packed some greenstuff onto the trunk this AM...
ReplyDeleteMost 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?
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteIt's looking better today; head and front legs are more or less there. Photo tomorrow.
Damn ! They killed Kenny ! Err : Nellie !
ReplyDeleteHave a look tomorrow for the updated photo. It is starting to look quite elephant-like.
