Sculpting Muscle?

[ForgeAus]

I'm being generic again, but how about creating a work of art that is a massive musclefreak by lump after lump of clay (rather than slicing one out of a column)... shaping, and adding, feet, calves, quads, abs, lats, pecs, traps, delts, ceps, forearms, hands and of course head!... if built up in some kind order like that it gives ample opportunity to be descriptive about the dimension and shape of each bodypart being worked on.

It might be interesting to tie in a reason for why sculpting the man (as a tribute to someone else who died for example) and of course magically bringing him to life, or some kind of observers imaginings of him as if he were alive?..

Actually, I wrote a short story for CYOC which portrayed the exact reverse: A muscled guy got turned into stone and his stone-figured was placed on a plinth as a statue for a day. It was one chapter of "Ty's Power" which I wrote a few years ago. But, your idea is really good!

Hey ForgeAus I had to look for it but I found it; I wrote it with another lady from England over 2 years ago:

Maybe the sculptor could be wishing for the perfect guy. Then, after reading the myth of Pygmalion and Galatea, he/she decides to sculpt this vision of masculine perfection out of clay.

Just a thought.
