Sitting Bronze Lion

[nils_hansen]

Hi Zbrush Community,

have been working on this commision for a while and finally finished it by the end of 2020.

So here are some pics of the whole process including sculpting the Lion in Zbrush, 3D printing it, assembling all the parts , making the moulds and the wax form and then finally casting it in Bronze.

The final height of the sculpture is 1,10 m.

Hope you like it.

Cheers,
Nils

Thanks very much Joseph, much appreciated!
It was indeed a lot of work
On the Ultimaker I was using PLA to print the pieces.
