...here's my adjustable armor. It's frighteningly large because it's made according to Loomis's proportions for sculpture. The truth is, I'm terrible at math, so I projected the image of the proportions from Loomis's book (head units) and created a kind of bone scan, and I used that to work on this armor. I understand that some painters used proportionally elongated human figures. If you could help me find a couple of these artists, that would be great. Based on the cranial unit mannequin, I plan to study Loomis and use this to create more detailed works on hands and feet once I take classes... that will be fantastic.

Adjustable Armature. The concept here is something akin to a runner crossing the finishing line. If I wanted to exaggerate it a bit more, I think the arms could get outstretched behind the body. Or maybe just one arm is a little further than the other to create more visual interest. Just a thought.

This is the Armature Stand I created.

Is there a download for Adjustable Armatures??? Also I have been away and I need to catch up. I viewed your Bridgeman video the other day. You were asked questions about Mold Making Techniques. Do you know Robert Tolone You Tube Site which is all about Mold Making. He has covered One & Two Piece Molds, Blanket Molds, Cut Molds, Rotational Molding and how to build your own Rotational Mold Machine that is hand driven. He has a lot of great suggestions how to succeed in Molding and Casting. He has been very helpful to me in my work with figures.

My NSP Chavant medium clay is SO hard! Is this normal? How do you soften it? I’m trying a lamp but not much change. I read that you an add a small amount of hot water to pieces of clay and let it sit overnight. Please help!
