Reconstitution hypothesis for an Iranian Bronze age plate from the Met museum collection. One good occasion to create a VDM brush !
All the process is documented here: https://learngraspshow.eu/emporium/the-undecided-zebu/. You can also play with the 3D model in your browser or grab the VDM brush to zebu-ify everything you do ! Who wouldn't ? Zebus are cool.

Sculpting practice ! Inspired by one of the known athénienne (washstand) from Charles Percier (1764-1838), gilded by Martin-Guillaume Biennais (1764-1843). As this was one of my first complex training project, I remember feathers and scales were a challenge. I stopped counting the number of times I redid these parts after 10, and I must have tried every method I could find online to speed up the process.
To me, the best method was good old hand sculpting, going slowly and steadily, breaking the process in small practice periods then doing something else to be able to come back to it with fresh eyes. Retopo was... interesting ! More pics as well as little information about the original piece can be found on the blog post.

Finally, I just wanted to show how the sculptures on top of the theater in Herculaneum might have looked in situ, overlooking the city, reflecting the first rays of the sun every morning.

I produced the background of ancient #Herculaneum and Vesuvius using #Al.

Just been reminded of this brilliant video: a reconstruction of the industrial village of Elsecar in South Yorkshire in 1880.

I've described my reconstruction of this 2nd c. CE sculpture #Mithras (British Museum) as wearing a party outfit. However, it doesn't come from my imagination. I’ve used the fresco from the #Mithraeum in Capua as the guide for Mithras’ pseudo-Persian outfit. See ALT text for more info. 1/ #digitalreconstruction #archaeology
