I made this maquette back in early 2015 to use as reference for my Liran's Ascent illustration. The legs and lower body were left rough because I don't need that information-- you can't see his legs in the composition of the painting. Still, I really wanted to have something cool as a decoration after, so I took some extra time on the head and such instead. It came out nice, and I've been missing sculpting ever since!
Since I get a lot of questions about the wings on this: They're hosiery over an armature skeleton, which is something I tried based on James Gurney's Imaginative Realism book. I then painted them red with watered-down acrylic. This was a total experiment, and the result was okay, but I'm going to try to improve upon it next time. After taking these photos I sewed the hose to the individual tines, which helped some, but looks rough. Which is fine for a maquette, but I'd love to find a solution for more finished sculptures!
The rest of the figure is super sculpey painted with acrylic, with some armature structure underneath. He is just shy of 7" tall.
