Second Quarter Personal Project Continued

When I first explained to Mark about the idea and scope of the totem pole, I was told that I would have a 50% chance of pulling it off.  Beyond that, because it was on such a massive scale, instead of doing to typical 3+ pieces for a personal project, I was initially told that I should do only one.  The problem is that I did pull it off and I did it with time to spare.  After finishing the totem pole I was informed that if I could crank out 3-12 more of these guys I would have a legit solo show.  Because I was able to complete one of these in under a quarter, my plan was to try and crank out two more next quarter so I started bumbling along with #2 just so I would have a jump on the 3rd quarter.  I never intended to finish anything for awhile.  Enter Mark's swift kick in the ass.

 

As you can see this one is not done, but it's close.  I need to finish the legs/shoes back of the woodpecker, pump some values, and put in a background.  My plan is to finish it up for the 2nd quarter Atelier show on I believe April 15th.

 The basic idea was the last one was people > nature, this is nature > people.  Disconnect and varying relationship between people and nature will be the themes running through this series.  Yes I am aware that I'm a total hippy.  I'm rolling around a bunch of ideas for whats next.  Because I seem to be working my way through using everyone in Atelier as models, the plan at the moment is to draw CJ with a stone cold expression holding a small dog for one and Stefan riding an ostrich and being really happy about it for another.  I'm open for more suggestions.
