Cave lion
polycounter lvl 12
Hi
I wanted to show you what I did for a Museum of Toulouse (France) at the beginning of 2016.
the museum provided partial bone of this now extinct creature and my job was to make all the bone I could extrapolate from what I had, put some flesh on it and show what it might have looked like when it was alive .
the biggest issue for me was doing hair. it was the very first time I attempted it, but all things considered, I like the outcome of it ^^ another first for me was to work with museum staff to get their insight on the anatomy of felines and their theory on this particular colossus (about 30% bigger than a lion of africa). I loved every second of it ^^
the final model ended up being projected on top of the actual skeleton in the museum to make it look like the animal came back to life in front of the audience. sadly I could not get a nice video of that, so I'll stick to rendres for now.
hope you'll like it
