I planning a house sign/family crest based on the first image below which is associated with the McFarlane surname. This is ridiculously ambitious because I have only carved a little and nothing to do with humans or other animals, but what is one to do..?
I modelled this a couple of times in clay first to try and understand the form. The carved result is shown here - the whole torso is 130mm from top of hair to bottom of waist. Still very two dimensional as I haven't fully capitalised on the whole depth of the wood. I had hoped to show the twist in the lower torso and the outward thrust of the lower chest more clearly as well. The face is pretty blank but I didn't have very high hopes for a first attempt. I haven't tackled the hands and sword yet.
I plan to do this a couple more times until I feel I would be happy with it hanging on my wall. Critique/suggestions always welcome
