This is early days... a clay study of a piece I plan to make in steel. I find it is well worth the effort of creating in clay first before jumping in with steel. I am going to hollow it out and cast it as well... assuming the firing process goes well! It's about 11-1/2" high.

Beautiful! I know that clay and wood have a close association on "carving", but clay can have material added on. I'll be quite interested in seeing this in steel...machining, right? Not cast?

Thanks! The steel will be forged, not cast or machined. It is a (vaguely) similar process to clay in that it is both additive and subtractive in the methods. I am planning on casting this as well but will likely just cast it in cement and/or hydrostone plaster

I've never worked in clay or steel, can you describe the hollowing out process?
Nice! Looking forward to seeing the steel version!

Great job! I've been thinking about rehydrating my clay supply to make some models that I can scan with my 3D scanner for carving in wood... Might be a good winter-time project for me. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks!! I've always loved figurative works but my commissions are usually animals so i'm planning on doing a series of these just to get better at doing figurative work.
