Moving forward with more of the surrealist ideas that i had been working with, the manipulation of form, or rather lack of form, was something i wanted to examine.
Whilst trying to maintain anatomical accuracy i wanted to combine two bodies into one another, one almost tearing free from the other, but how would that work in 3D , could i maintain the sense of movement, but also the sense of ambiguity.
Starting with a sketch to establish the main blocks of anatomy i wanted to be in the final image.
I started out experimenting with the head, exploring the facial expressions and the way the skin would merge between the two.
Looking at ways other Zbrush artists worked, i decided to split the hands into separate tools, so i could easily manipulate the fingers and make the crease that appears between the hand and the shoulder more realistic.
The final composition.
I was greatly inspired by the sculpture "The Rape of Proserpina" the way the hands and the body pressed into one another, giving a real sense of weight and tension throughout the sculpture.
Whilst it would be vastly over reaching to say i aimed to get a look as refined and beautiful as this sculpture i feel like examining it helped me understand how i can bring some life into my sculpture.
