Boxing dog basically finished (maybe more pics later)

 

I've decided to leave him as is.

Switched from red to pink gloves (tossed red out at the last moment because the undercoat pink looked great and worked with the ochre patina) and besides, he’s working overall. Nice and simple. I've left the newspaper open around glove-edges as it also looks good. I'm basically happy with the results, his rough form and skin patina complimenting the shiny gloves, etc. Mono-colour body with same glove-edge treatment on his dick. Lean and mean, like an eerie africanis dog of the African plains in a greater context of time, some timeless-looking creature that lives and thrives upon it forages and preys upon. A dog ‘o-war, stalking its prey like an exacting surgeon may be wont to do upon his patient. Clinical… perhaps… disfigurement? – for better or for worse…

So it's just the base to finish and he's done.

He has a very hieroglyphic feel to him and that makes me chuffed, being a lover of ancient Egyptian art. He has handsome lines and sculptural vectors to his forms and shapes that are pleasing to the eye in real life.

Now with the CMC I’m going to blend fibres and particles as in throw down the thick mushy gel-goo with colours soaked in toilet paper and see what the outcomes will be. A nice and free and exciting turn for my paper-mache art, to be working with the best of the fibre binding mediums CMC.
