The hard thing about doing this kind of work is having the self-control to stop when the work is truly done. After fifteen plus years of essentially creating nothing but clean, "finished" sculptures, the only way I could force myself to stop was to literally set a timer on how long I would work. When the time was up the pieces were complete. I wanted to portray the power of the heroes, and the details(including things like symmetry) were secondary.
Great fun that re-sparked my creative juices and reminded why I love sculpture so dearly.
Thanks to everyone for the kind words.
