Wasn't there a version of that done some eight years ago, where she's standing over a dead serpent? The original wasn't an SS piece though.

Cross country skiing is great if you live in a small country.

Right, but I was hoping for a PF version of it. Hopefully, closer to the drawing.

Didn't he sculpt the Sucker Punch girls for Gentle Giant?? I believe he also did the Deadpool, Hawkeye, and Cap on bikes for GG as well.
Those were very well received by the fanbase so this is great to hear.

Looking through his thread on the zbrush forum, I'm extremely impressed by what I see. Everything he's been involved with looks sound and impressive.

Unless he's forced to hew to original art by someone like Turner or has to suffer ill-advised edicts from a misguided art director, he should be able to deliver something smart, and gesture-ally sound, based on his past efforts.

Don't know what to make of the snake though. It's not labeled as a diorama and 1/4 scale is too big to get too dynamic with a secondary character or prop (like a large Snake). That might just end up being a design conceit of the base (Snake God alter etc)

I'm hoping for something like
I prefer statues with huge wide bases, rather than just standing tall.
