"Bathing Venus" Master Study Sculpt

slkisor

Hi PolyCount!

Brand new to the community, and looking to dive right in. I'm undertaking a master study sculpt of Giambologna's "Bathing Venus" in Zbrush as part of a school project, and I would love any and all feedback you guys might have for me.

First up--Giambologna's Bathing Venus.



And next, the deconstruction and study images.

Update! She's getting there.

Here's the final sculpt. Added finishing details in the hair and props and made some minor adjustments to the anatomy. Hopefully she looks a little less like an old woman now.

That looks lovely sofar. I went to Olympia a couple of weeks ago and saw the marble sculpture "Hermes of praxiteles". It seems like it would be good to look at for this project because of the s shaped bodyshape and materials. Good luck finishing it

Thank you so much! What a neat opportunity to see something like that in person. The contrapposto was a really fun aspect to try to capture with this sculpt, and I imagine it would be for Hermes too.

head is way to small

That could very well be, nbac, thanks for pointing that out. I'm not sure if its the overall volume that might be throwing off the proportion or the hair-to-face ratio.
