I'm planning on modelling a statue, in the Greek classical style based on a story from Greek myth. It will be designed by myself, and at the moment i'm just researching ideas, characters and scenes, as well as what defines the style.
Below is an example of the kind of thing i'd be looking to create.

That is a beautiful statue, I am glad to hear somebody is having a go at it.
Good luck, I look forward to seeing it proceeding.

AHhh....The "laocoon".

(Possibly the most mis-pronounced title in the history of the English Language.)

(Here is how to pronounce "laocoon".)

Leigh - ah - coe - on. (4 Syllables.)

I love that sculpture so much, i have always wanted to make this in 3d and just never have, it is great to see someone do it. I hope you do it justice and as beautiful as it is. Good luck, i will be watching this.

I wasn't actually going to model the laocoon, though i had toyed with the idea, as it is a wonderful sculpture. I was going to design my own. It's just an example of the style, beauty and level of detail I would be trying to get to.
I've been looking through the myths to find something interesting that i can base my own sculpture from. Still looking though...

This is going to be the first character for my new modelling reel, and want to be able to say all the work on it is my own, including designs, unless you think an employer would be impressed by seeing a 3D laocoon?

Dude if you modeled the laocoon and made it as nice as it is, any employer would love it. Even if you didnt come up with the idea. I say if you want, model it, but it is goign to be a large task, but if you made it look like that, it would be awesome.
