The Grotesques of Notre Dame...

Hello all,
I’m starting a new project which will keep me busy for the next few months. I have really enjoyed carving Shawn Cipa’s gargoyles, but I want to start working on something that I have drawn up with my own hands. Through research, I decided to draw and carve a series of the grotesques that adorn the Notre Dame cathedral.
It’s been difficult to find detailed historical etchings or something other than tourist photographs on the interwebs, so I’ve had a heck of a go at drawing them up accurately.
If you want to follow along regularly if this project, give me a follow on Instagram! @msquaredworks . Thanks for looking!

You seem to be making some good progress. I am watching as you go along, and enjoying the ride. I always thought the grotesques were interesting sculpture.
