sculpting clothing and other sculpts

From experience I can say that clothing can be very difficult to sculpt.
Before I went on to produce the muscular female the figure was supposed to be my first attempt at sculpting clothing.
During summer 2014 I began working on my first clothed figure, I knew it was going to be challenging but i proceeded with hope and determination.


I remade the arms so many times I lost count, it was incredibly frustrating as I did not like any of the ways I changed the arms.



Then I gave up on clothing. (for now)
I proceeded to create muscle on the sculpture rather than clothing.


The figure and muscle textures appear exceptionally superb from this angle, the body language is powerful and incredibly sophisticated, looking at this older version of the sculpture I feel as if I have lost my way, the current version has no where near as much refinement as this picture shows.
My next goal over Christmas should be to try and get back to this standard of work.
Images below show other angles from the older version.
I really wish I could just undo the changes and go back to this stage.





The newest sculpture is this shorter form, the idea came from making the opposite to the muscular female.
meanwhile I have only managed to make smaller adjustments to the archer figure defining some of the muscle.
