Today’s post must be the last about this maquette. I have to reserve the full ‘reveal’ for the audiences who come to see the production.

Above: the maquette minus its mane, which for some reason I prefer in this ‘resting’ pose…
… though I like the mane flying when the Mari is in motion.

Above: a version with a more realistically proportioned head and neck…

The two heads for comparison.
oh, i love the way you have attached the legs! it is a fantastic character!
Trying here to make something anatomically plausible, while keeping my approach imaginative. It’s a fine line between the two, and it’s all too easy to slip into the former. I’m not sure I’m quite on top of this particular maquette just yet, though my instinct is that I’m heading in the right general direction.
oh, i think the way the legs swing is phenomenal. the perfect “edge”.
Absolutely stunning Clive! This is going to be sooo good.
