Massing out

I am going to use WED clay for my sculpt because I have tried lots of different materials and this has been my favorite. It dries out quite slowly, its quite oily and is really nice to use. I bought mine from 4DModelshop.

I have just roughly added clay and tried to get the basic shape. I used lots of reference images and I printed an image of a babirusa at the exact size I wanted so that I could use verniers/calipers to get the proportions correct.

I realized that the when I mold and cast the final sculpt, the pole with ruin the shape slightly, but I can sand that off later.
