getting it togeather

so krystal...my own personal goddess when it comes to the computer, uploaded some photos i took of pieces i am currently working on...i will try to upload, myself (please dont hold your breath anyone).
i finally started working on the male torso for Trey at Aris....i have had a number of requests for that over the years but worried about the difficulty of doing such a classic pose....making it my own. dont ask me exactly why i felt that way myself...lots of my work directly references the classics.....so i started on the torso and very soon realized i really needed a real guy in here to model for me. i kept making the figure proportional off.....neck too thin, waist too long etc, in other words feminine although when you looked at it you wouldnt think that, just think what is off about this piece? so my best pal zane hooked me up with this fabulous dancer (as in legit dancer...ballet modern etc) and i feel i am hooked. first off dancers make the best models, he could hold a pose so long it was ridiculous...i had to stop before him cause my hands were cramping. when i have had amber pose for me though she is great with creating a pose she does want a break every five minutes. and secondly i have to say micheal (the model) was just a sweet dream of a guy. and after sculpting and living with this torso for a bit now i cant believe i didnt do one sooner. i sort of re saw the male figure and feel in love with just the simplicity of the lines of the male body. very graceful. i ended up really wishing i was doing a full figure of micheal, he has a great classical face and his hands and feet are so beautiful....oh well, maybe i will someday. i was even daydreaming of doing a full figure, sort of matching female but not nearly as hokey as that sounds. but a classical pose of both him and also this female friend of mine. i think it could look really beautiful, both classical and contemporary at the same time. we will see.......
