Character Maquettes

(0)

A maquette is a miniature or scale model of a building, creature, or character constructed as a reference tool to explore form and lighting.

I made a bust of the explorer Arthur Denison because I couldn’t find a real person with exactly the features I was looking for.

I used polymer clay, a modeling compound which can be shaped like clay and then baked hard in the oven.

With that maquette in front of me, I could explore a variety of different angles and lighting ideas, while remaining true to the character model.
