the pose looks to be a simple museum pose, but there is a lot of intensity to it. I love how he's leaning forward on the front-half of the base. It's a simple pose, but it's definitely an aggressive, threatening pose.
and this head, it's ridiculously awesome. I was being foolish a couple weeks back saying it was no-good. The trifecta of this head, the open mouth and the closed mouth on this pose, in this scale, with this level of detail . . . brings a tear to my eye.
We've seen a lotta pics of the statue straight on, but where i think the piece shines from this angle and the angle above.
It's just perfect. Absolutely perfect....here come the comments about the knee pads
