This year marks the centenary of the beginning of the first world war.
I started sculpting up a soldier for a job pitch – unfortunately, the job didn’t go ahead so I shelved it for a few months. Then another possible job came up and I did a little more sculpting but alas that job also isn’t happening. So I spent a little time finishing it off anyway – it also is another good chance to try out some of the newer sculpting tools in 3D Coat as well as testing the physically-based shading that is becoming popular in modern games and real-time applications.

Perhaps someday I’ll get to use this guy in a project or at least do some animation with him 🙂
