Freelance Sculpting :: Football Desk Pedestal

In 2008, Arkahdia Arts again contacted me to salvage a project that was in need of some help. The client wanted a life size football player in an actual pose with authentic clothing and equipment as shown in the Picture #1. Upon approval of the sculpture, the piece would be cast and two replicas created in plaster to serve as the pedestal supports for a glass tabletop.

Photos #2 and #4 represent where the project was at when I was called, and #3, #5 and #6 what I was able to accomplish on a limited budget and short time frame.

#1. Source image for what the sculpture should be.



#2. Where they started using a foam dummy.



#3. Where I took it...



#4. Another view before I got called.



#5. Another view of the redone sculpture.



#6. View with desktop mockup for end use of sculpture.
