Daroo, you...Thanks for the kind words, everybody. <br /><br />Daroo, your point was so right on that because of it I changed my whole approach to the maquette halfway through sculpting it. It started out too weird-alien-goatlike, which didn't convey the earthy human drives that motivate Pan.

While I think the goat head anatomy is interesting, when it is too dominant it gives an alien/other worldly vibe. When I think of the characterization of Pan and satyrs, I think earthy and lusty. I think you need something approaching human facial relationships to convey that randy quality.Daroohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02269629297022511462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-25891627057351765572009-07-29T07:27:34.149-04:002009-07-29T07:27:34.149-04:00Oh how I would love to participate in one of your ...Oh how I would love to participate in one of your classes...

I have a REALLY hard time getting anthropomorphized legs to look right and usually the character as a whole, especially if standing upright.
