I already have a wolf maquette to help me create one of Misz Ajdacki’s tattoos for Skin/Skóra…
… but decided that I’d need a bear maquette too, to aid me with the design that will mirror the wolf on the opposite shoulder.
Not quite finished yet, but here it is in process. The white paper shapes are the patterns I’ve devised, and the blue ones are the finished pieces worked in pencil. The maquette is held together with many sliding attachments on the reverse, to give me lots of flexibility with regard to positions it can be moved into. There is a profile head as well as a full-face.
Once the maquette has been completed, then I will begin exploring poses for it prior to making sketches to present to Misz.

I really like the latest addition to Clive’s beasts. This bear has real attitude. He does look as though he has the right credentials for being one of Misz’s animal guardians.
I thought more about Misz than I thought about bears. Well, he is a bit of a cub! (-;
Oh, those delicious chopped claws. Too wonderful.
Wow, the bear’s shape and the mark making on his body look fab, this is starting to look like an awesome tattoo design already!
I hope it will be Phil. Fingers crossed.
jumping with joy! ❤
Glad to hear that. I expect a big bear hug when we eventually meet up!
