im not arguing scale of the human skeletal anatomy...its adding flesh to these 'bones' that cant be standardised, while built on the same basic foundation we are each individually wrapped in varying degrees of flesh, musculature and fat ... even given the exact same proportions of each basic ingrediant, distribution can vary drastically.. the old nature/nurture thing, i have met people who are 5ft tall and 4ft wide, and conversely people who are 7ft tall and less than 2ft wide how do we factor this in? my point is that not every human fits 'the norm' ...scale is variable...do we sculpt what we see, or do we sculpt to accepted norms?...i tend to go with what i see... reality isnt always pretty...it is what it is...when sculpting George Washington using Abraham Lincoln as a model may not be such a great idea...
:O)
Y'all have a great day.
