Contest 166: Hogg wash
This statue in London is in memory of Quintin Hogg, the founder of The Polytechnic (which became The London Polytechnic, then The Polytechnic of Central London, and is now The University of Westminster). It's the kind of pose you wouldn't get away with these days without questions being asked. We did a 'bringing statues to life' Challenge a year and a half ago, but I think this one offers some different challenges. So here's your task: can you make these people look real? Not an easy one, I know, so if you find the prospect of tinting all that dark bronze too daunting, you could always consider adding or removing some props instead... High res is here.  |

An idea rather than a solution!

This is a tough one. Haven't got time to do the whole statue, but learned a lot from attempting this little section. Great challenge.  |

Hello Everyone, didn't have time to finish the statue base, so I thoughtI would leave it outside. Brian Ruddock I loved what you did - shame you didn't add colour first, wish i had thought of it!!  |

Like the way you've removed the shining bornze hilights so the clothes have a more material-like texture. Chris |

Re: Contest 166: Hogg wash
This one was fun. I almost skipped it as I have been really short on time lately, but then I just couldn't resist. A very interesting challenge.  |
