This beautiful little cat on the ledge at the bottom of this image is one of a pair created by Hugh Pritchard in 1988 to decorate a modern tenement on Woodlands Road in Glasgow. I really wish more developers would include such whimsical details in their projects.
Some travel pictures taken during the hippo's journey from Unbound via ZBrush to Blender.

The final hippo rendering.
His journey went from Unbound (SDF modeling) to ZBrush (some sculpted details) to Blender (Cycles rendering).
Then, a bit of post-processing in Affinity Photo and PhotoScape X (Pro).
See for more impressions and info.
Created a super rough doodle just to get a feel for the #sculpture I want to do. I'm going for a centaur, based on a sculpt by Rodrigo Braga. More updates soon!

A little hippo modeling update…
Installed my last perpetual license version of ZBrush and gave the rocks more detail in there.
Modeling is ready now. I'll add Blender Cycles materials and lighting tomorrow for a nice new rendering.
This is the Ruthven Lane Cat in the west end of Glasgow. It's high on a wall on the back of an old tenement building, and it really doesn't look like it belongs there. It's a bit of a mystery as to who put it there, and why.
An experiment with hand stitched applique... (very much a work in progress!)
Beautifully sculpted green men on the obelisk sundial in King's Park on the Southside of Glasgow. This is one of three Victorian replicas of the 1635 Mannerist sundial at Newbattle Abbey House in Midlothian.

An experiment in combining separate embroideries into one piece.
Minor hippo modeling update…
Sculpted some grass detail in Blender Sculpt Mode. Placing brush strokes has a calming, meditative effect. Recommended.
Next up: some stylized cracks in the rocks. 
I hope you enjoy these work-in-progress updates.
Visited with students and gave slide talks two days ago- and pulled tubes with some very talented students yesterday. Gonna give another demo for UW glassblowing students today.
It's like my birthday came early with the tubes. Gonna make a video at some point to share the glassblowing fun- but Amber Mans an Skye Xollo were SO helpful, with Amber having blown glass since they were very young, and learning to pull tubes from my favorite tube puller in Tacoma.
I saw wonderful undergrad and graduate student work, seen here are Amber's "two truths and a lie" tubes covered in black glass powder and resist sandblasted through (I pulled some of that black/ brown). A studio visit with Morgan, a third year grad student was very neat- their ceramic and neon sculptures playing with texture, dementia, memory, and structure- integrating the neon and clay quite nicely.
Hippo modeling update…
After being born in Unbound, it's time for him to explore the world of Blender.
I realized that I had totally forgotten to add some nostrils in the Unbound version. 
So I added those in Blender now, along with a tail. 
Memorial to John Stewart who founded the City of Glasgow Friendly Society in 1862. This sculpture, on the city's Douglas Street, is by William Kellock Brown. The aim of the City of Glasgow Friendly Society was to 'enable members of the industrial classes to arrange with one another for mutual aid during sickness or on the arrival of old age'.
