Hercules and Atlas Sculpture by Aaron Aikman

GuerillaTactics · 14-12-2011, 02:02 AM

This is a piece I've been working on in Zbrush.
I'm quite open to comments, or critiques.
The original sculpture is by Michel Anguier.
Here is the turntable.

Great work.. Is the man backslaping him?

Thanks. Yah, that's what it looks like, but I believe he has just taken the golden fleece from Atlas... or something like that.

From the mythology I know Hercules already had the lion skin to protect him from the weight of the Earth. The gesture is probably the moment Atlas asks him to take the earth from his shoulder, at least for a few minutes so he can rest a little, in exchange for allowing Hercules to take golden apples from the garden of the Hesperides.
Its a very nice piece of work 'tho I might say some use of harder edges at least on the base would have given a sens of contrast between the soft, flesh forms of the characters and the "ground". Also, as I see, Hercules already has something on his shoulder (which is probably the lion skin) which would have been good to resemble with fur a bit more. Overall, very nice job.
