I just love this sculpture! What type of armature did you use?

Are you self taught or did you receive formal training?

Wow, amazing work! I think it's very very detailed, you can almost feel the texture for the skin, it looks very dry and heavy, I especially like the folds on it, I will definitely be watching you to see how this turns out!

I'm using skeleton of extinct animal and add musculature based on references of closest living relatives.Musculature is pretty much same components in big mammals
