SIT Stories - Episode 6 : Sculpting
28 Jul 2023
The sculpting of our own forms is something that sets Splitting Image Taxidermy apart and creates the foundation for excellent taxidermy.
Our art director, Travis de Villiers, creates an anatomy sculpture using plasticine to capture the musculature and unique features of each animal. To do this, he uses a multitude of real life and digital visual references as well as a meticulous measuring process. These sculptures are works of art in their own right and are authentic representations of their species, down to the finest detail.
Sculpting allows us to produce some of the most life-like and anatomically accurate taxidermy forms in the world, enhancing the overall quality of our mounts.
