So, you all saw what I have been working on lately--- that claw-talon-hand sculpture. For my next concentration piece I was thinking about doing some sort of the same thing with the whole elongating the fingers in the hand, except I was going to make them super smooth and flowy. Sort of like if you've ever pulled a handle for a ceramic mug (which, I assume you all have). I've been slacking pretty hard on the details of my hands, though. They have a decent amount of detail, especially in the curves of the palms of the hands, and some of the knuckles, but I can do a lot more. With the next piece I'm going to spend some time really focusing on getting preportions right, giving extra definition to the way the skin stretches throughout the hand, and defining the knuckes better than I have been doing.
I was also pretty inspired by Collin's smoker hand, and I was thinking about doing one of my concentration pieces where you could see the bones in the hand (and probably some muscles, too!). Maybe something like where I have some skin stretched over the bones, enough to cover most of the hand but still have gaps where you can see in to the bones and stuff. The thought is still being mulled over, tell me what you guys think.
