Hello guys, I had this idea in mind for a long time, but now I think it's time to execute it. Here's my take for this challenge.

I am particularly interested in this sculpture, as i think it will be great to study anatomy, and movement. It is called Milon of Croton, sculpted by Etienne-Maurice Falconet and it is in the Louvre museum.

I find this sculpture very interesting - first thing that popped into my mind seeing this was that has got to be the cutest attacking lion I have ever seen. I mean the guy doesn't find it cute but the way Etienne-Maurice Falconet sculpted the lion with the tail between his legs and the lion almost all curled inward looks like the guy is just a big ball of yarn to the lion just playing verses food.

Tina..cutest lion??Hey he is ripping the man's thigh to pieces..comeon..Wait on the second look, I think you are right. The lion does look cute, maybe afraid? Like a dog, which would tuck its tail between it's legs in a state of fear?

Nitin, Thanks man..I want to complete this challenge, and have an anatomy piece for my showreel.

It's only a flesh wound. I vote the lion is just playing vs afraid the man is just a big ball of yarn to the Lion.
