Yesterday's sunset:

It's supposed to rain tonight, I hear. Finally a break in the weather. I hear the waves are real big too.

I got another chance at the tiki yesterday. Here are some more progress shots

Punched through the legs and started the shin area. I'm trying to do the lower legs a little different by making them concave instead of a straight line from knee to ankle

Now I had to round out the back of the legs because they were way too blocky

A lot more leg tweaking:

It's finally starting to make sense

Still a little bulky...

More off the legs and now the mouth started

Eyes and nose started

More face work

After a few more refinements, it looked like this at sunset:


After sunset I did the upper shoulders. Now I just have to hollow the back, do the arms and headress, refine the whole thing and I'm done.

very cool !!! luvin the step by step!!!!

I have to take more breaks now, so I'm snapping a shot after each one I take. Usually I'd just power through the whole daylight session and just snap one shot after I was done. Now, I figure since I have to stop anyway, might as well be informative while i'm at it. And, I want to widen my lead as TC's #1 photo contributer a bit...

I typed " See No Evil" into google and this popped up just for you Buzz!

Looks like I'm going to have to revise my concept sketches a bit to include that fourth one. What exact evil is she concealing there, anyway?

TOTALLY!

Today, however, needs to be a resting day.
Buzzy Out!
