Rampant Lion

Commissioned Carving ~ The Rampant Lion

Been a long while since I got a nice commission like this. The "Rampant Lion" is based on a Scottish Coat of Arms which is the subject of my collector. He gave me nothing more than a piece of clip-art that he wanted reproduced as a carving in the round.

I've started the carving with a clay maquette, used to help realize the design of the carving in 3 dimensions. I just glued up the basswood block this morning and will post entries as I progress through the woodcarving.

Great job on the clay!

If you do as good with the wood, the client will be thrilled.

That is fantastic. It can't be too easy to go from a 2-dimensional clip art photo to a full round maquette without a lot of experience!

Your Lion is amazing and thank for posting the armature. I am getting started in clay again after so many years, I keep mis-shaping my armatures and adjust them while working on it.. sigh… so… I am so excited that you are going to blog a project. I stalked your website and you inspired me to hire a model for figure studies in clay and started to dry four 3ft long sections of poplar for carving. I am far back on the curve, but it does feel like riding a bike. Thank you.
