This sculpt was started as a quick sketch exercise that only lasts 30 minutes. I run these exercises for the first year art students as a teaching assistant at the Academy of Interactive Entertainment. At the end of the 30 minutes, I decided to put another hour into the sculpt to pull out some of the fine detail without going to the level of pore definition. The concept art is by Rodrigue Pralier and was chosen for the complexity of form while being able to be pulled from a sphere. The goal of these exercises is to increase the speed at which concepts can be done.
