From 19th till 23th of Septembre we had a masterclass from Maarten Verhoeven.
The instructions: Create a creature which is half human, half animal.
There was not much conception time. That is why I follow my first impulse and started to make a faun, half human half goat.
My idea was to create an old faun, because I liked the challenge to make everything saggy.
We received a very basic (human) model. I started to change the feet’s to create the hooves. Then I started to sculpt the muscles, first I made a young body to get everything anatomical correct. When I was pleased with the result, I started to sag everything. When I was doing that, the body felt older right away and I got the feeling as if the skin was on the muscles.
At last, we learned how to polypaint our character.
