“Balancing on the balls of the feet while squatting on its haunches and surveying the world around it, the attitude of this sculpture is alive, alert and awake.” - Sir Anthony Gormley, Artist.
“If this is art, I am an hippopotamus” - Anonymous student.
Model of Sir Anthony Gormley’s imposing monolithic metal monument. Infamous for its…girth and the d i s c o u r s e that surrounded it after its unconsulted unveiling.
While the actual sculpture required feats of metallurgy and engineering to keep it erect, my actual modelling attempt was a contrastingly crude exercise in shoving boxes into each other. I am so glad I decided to chose a virtual medium to express creativity.
The textures are not my best attempt, the real one has a lot more subtleties that this model misses. Unfortunately real life have necessitated me to postpone that if I indeed will continue in the future.
Modelled and textured in Substance Painter.
