I sculpted a big treeman for entmoot25, an instagram sculpting jam organized by # @whitetigertablecraft, # @michaelcwiatrak_art, and kyle / # @honkteam. I'm still having fun getting bigger and bigger with polymer clay, so figured this was another good one to do. I think most folks doing the challenge glued together a heap of twigs, but I strangely found this difficult to pull off. I'm not sure exactly why, maybe I was using the wrong epoxy or something. There is a pretty sad ent kicking around the house from this initial pass. Luckily the deadline got extended, so I had more time to work on it.
I initially setup two armatures to sculpt onto, but ended up just focusing on one. The nice thing about ents is that the don't particularly need reasonable proportions or even body symmetry to read right.
I think I may end up going back to that other sculpt at some point, I really like its pose a bunch.
