This piece started as a simple pose study and gradually evolved into something much bigger. With every anatomy pass and pose adjustment, the story became clearer.

I wanted to challenge myself by sculpting the entire piece as a single solid mesh, relying heavily on Dynamesh and Sculptris Pro. It definitely made changing proportions and refining the pose more difficult, but it also felt much closer to sculpting in clay or carving marble.

Sometimes making the process harder is exactly what makes it more rewarding.
