Day 86 - 5th June - Remaking My Hands

Today after looking at my hands from another angle, which made me realize that the posing of the hands wasn't as effective as it could be to hold my items and the colour wasn't correct so i decided to create new hands with a more refined outlook and working process. I used the hands of one of my peers as a reference and began to construct them using the same process of before. Thicker wire for the structure, thinner wire for building up the surface area before i attach them to the base and mod rod over the wire structure in part as i had with previous endeavors..

I decided to begin with a solitary focus on completing both o the wire structures within the day along with attaching them to the base, as to allow me to mod rock them tomorrow and begin on the composition from my plans.

The process of the wire work took a lot of time within the day and had a lasting strain on my hands throughout the day so  had to take a long break at about the half way mark to give my hands a rest before continuing with my process. This resulted in these sculptural elements taking far longer to  complete that initially expected and resulted in the need for a slight adjustment to my timescale as i will now have to move their completion onto tomorrow morning and re arrange subsequent elements to it fit around this.

I feel that these hands remind me a lot of computer generated models like you see within some 80's era movies like Weird science when they are constructing the perfect woman. I can also see within my work the same structural forms as the metal arm in Terminator as the strong structure wire reminds me of the hydraulics and finger construction.

Overall i feel that the posing and proportions of the hand were a vast improvement on the prior attempts, however i feel that  the curled fingers will provide a challenge when it comes to mod-rocking them tomorrow.
