        Hi everyone :)

        Wanted to share a low-relief paper sculpture I finished some weeks ago.

        [FONT=”Impact]Osprey on the Hunt
        [/FONT]Specifications: 12.5″ x 25″ mixed media paper sculpture
        Prismacolor pencil on Mi-Teints paper
        Reference photo credit: Sandy Scott, used with permission

        While the background is a combination of paper cutting and scrapbooking paper, the osprey is a cardstock and foam core construction covered with Prismacolor pencil on Mi-Teints paper. Feathers (both grouped and individual) are colored, cut and glued to a cardstock frame. The overall depth of the sculpture (somewhat lost in photography) is 1″.

        Here’s the finished osprey before being attached to the background.

        I posted a few work in progress photo in the Colored Pencil thread illustrating some of the steps in construction:

        Rob, this is amazing! Not only the complex and impressive art form you’ve mastered, but that powerful, in-your-face pose of the osprey, as well. This is fantastic!

            Looks amazing… it would be nice to have a isometric view, to see the depth… great work, so many details :)

                        Wow, great work, really interesting and well constructed piece. I love the angle of view too. I agree with Federico’s comment about a picture showing the depth too, please :)

                            Nicely done but unfortunately, the toes are wrong.

                            Ospreys have zygodactyl toes, like an owl or woodpecker– two in front, two in back.
