Hello everyone,
Here is my latest work. I decided to use the base mesh of an old model to do a human anatomy study.
The back story to this character is that he is a wizard who has been exiled from a kingdom and forced to live in the wilderness. The main point of this was to treat it as a fine art piece similar to what figures looked like in paintings of Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio and Rembrandt, not that I think my work is as good, but that was the goal. 
This is actually my first serious attempt at doing a complete full body sculpt of the human form and I think I did quite well though I do see a lot of areas that need improvement. One lesson I find hard to learn is to know when a model is done, I could keep tweaking things forever.
I was trying to go for subtle emotions for the face. I wanted to give him the look of contempt for the thing he is cursing and give him a look like he is chanting in his head. I also wanted to try and capture the look people get in the middle of strenuous movements. I’m not sure it comes through when its a picture of the head alone though. I also wasn’t concerned about putting in such high frequency details as skin pores, the exercise wasn’t about that kind of detail, it was more about communicating the emotion of the character through his gesture.
I hope you guys like it, comments are always welcome.
