The conception of this model was quite straightforward. I was trying to get a proper back half for a dove I had been working on to no avail. I had the thought that a fish base might be more conducive to my interests. At the very least, I could keep the structure for the legs. And voila. Not even ten minutes later and I had a finished bird in my hands. It wasn’t what I expected, and the design isn’t the most accurate to its subject, but it’s cute, so who cares.
