Unicorn-A Speculative Anatomy

Posted by Joel361 on 3/18/2010
This is a Speculative Anatomy study of a
Unicorn based on the description found
in "The Last Unicorn" by Peter S. Beagle.
It is modeled in Polymer clay(Sculpey).
When model builders build models using
parts from two or more kits to produce'
a model of something different than could
be made from either kit. Its called "kit bashing"
This Sculpture is a Kit bash of the anatomy of
of the equine and deer families. I also gave
the surface coat a texture that looks slightly
like a lambs fleece implying that it would
be very soft to the touch

Centaur- A Speculative Anatomy

A theoretical Anatomy of a Centaur that I decided to
model as Chiron the teacher of heroes in Greek
myth. I pictured him as a grizzled and scarred old
warrior. The main problem I could see in anatomy
for a centaur is where the human and equine
halves meet. I created in my mind a floating
pelvis at the meeting point that is like a slice off
of the top of the human pelvis roughly 3 inches
deep which sprouts off two welded spine sections
just ahead of the shoulder blades. You can see
where the muscles of the human torso anchor
to it.

Hello all, It has been a long time since I last did any Artwork. The combination of disappointment at not being able to make a living from my Art and then my job as a fire truck maintenance mechanic for twenty years taking a lot of my energy out by the end of the day made me let it slide. I retired last year and have more time now so I am joining DeviantART to share my old work with the community of artists and hopefully prod me off my lazy ass so I will take up my sculpture tools again. The main reason I could not make a living of my work is the style that I settled on as most pleasing to me was just to time consuming and meticulous. The Unicorn sculpture took 3-1/2 months with doing each hair over the whole body.the popular figurine companies could not wait that long when they showed me a drawing of what they wanted. Joe
