All drawings are from Sketchbook #25 - 2009
First conceptual drawing was created in sketchbook on August, 2009.
The drawings came from the premise that an ancient hero retreated, leaving his battle equipment behind.
First drawing: Retreat
Drawing made to establish some crude proportions, (crude because I never intended this sculpture to have any accuracy, and I suspect that it is not based on reality).
Drawings for the "strap on wings", boots and helmet
Wax patterns: wings, armor, boots and helmet
Drawing: Searching for a composition or an arrangement.
Wax pattern details
Wax patternsI'm working to finish all wax patterns in time to cast and finish, making this sculpture my last for 2009.
