As much as I enjoyed my alien head sculpt in week 1, it dawned on me that my original Mudbox sculpt would probably serve as the foundation for every other project in the remainder of the semester. Considering that fact, I felt unsatisfied with the casual intent behind my original sculpt, and decided to generate an alternative piece of more scope and significance. Drawing from ancient Greek statues for my inspiration this time, I worked on modeling, then posing, a highly-detailed female torso: work that I could more readily envision in a traditional gallery setting.
Now armed with the foreknowledge (pun intended) that this sculpture would later be printed, molded, and cast, I detached the upper-arm section to print separately. The arm would later join to the torso via a pentagonal peg. This also allowed me to swap/interchange different styles of arm.
Reading ahead in the syllabus, it seemed prudent to have a decimated, polygon-ized version of the torso prepared and printed as well.
Moving forward, I elected to source my torso sculpt and my alien head sculpt in parallel for future projects.
