Individually, yet in concert . . .

Gordy:

Aw gee, I guess ahma' gettin' too old. I never would have thought of using
the "blue tac" as a means of figuring out how you would want to drape his
clothing. Wow, the things I learn on this web site.

I want to say a word about how I see the intelligence of how this trio will
"come together" near the end, in the vignette. Natually, one figure is
kneeling, but I notice that all three figures are at different heights, and when
you put those interesting poses together, I think in concert the sight lines
and composition will be very interesting and have a great deal of eye appeal.

Yes, they are together as a group, but it's not a Gingerbread Man cookie-
cutter kind of operation. It works as a whole, but there is interest for its
own sake, in each of the figure.

I don't seem to be able to explain myself very well, here Gordy, but I think
you probably get my drift.

I really like the blu-tac idea to work out the drapery Gordy, i think i will have to keep that one in mind for future use.
Nice progress on the figures and i am eager to see these three positioned on a base to see how they all work together.

Thanks Jayhawk,

I get the drift! The blue-tac helps me visualize the volumes and guage amounts I'll need :)

Thanks Steve,

The Blue-tac is really helpful and one of my main tools!

Hi Gordy,

I would like to ask you one thing only: could you, please, sculpt a bit faster? I am dying for seeing finished miniatures. It is easy, just stop sleeping for couple of days.

So many trivial things stand in the way.. eating, sleeping, etc! ;)
Lot's of new ideas are flooding in also and it's been a struggle !
