Hi all!,
Here’s the latest piece I’m working on at the moment. There’s still a fair amount of detail work to do (the base, the actual spear as opposed to a placeholder, buckles, fine wrinkles etc…) but hopefully the overall gesture works so far. I wanted to explore some ideas on the look of aging while retaining physical fitness, so I decided to play with a few of the non-facial signs of aging like male pattern baldness (it’s not real visible at these angles though), and the general thinning of tissue around the hands as well as examining the beginning of wrinkle patterns and the like. I’m finding it real tricky to go far enough that the signs “read” at any distance but not going too far and making the concept look much older than desired (about 50ish), so any suggestions are a big help.
As always, any thoughts/suggestions are always welcome:)
Johannes
