Ski-Jumping Sloth - Olympic Sloths
The final Sloth of the Olympic Sloths Series! (At least for now…) I had a heckuva time deciding what sport to go for here - I knew it had to be a winter olympic sport, but I’d already done all the ones with unique costumes/uniforms. I was left with Bobsleigh, Luge, Skeleton, Speed Skating, and the Various Skiings (Alpine, Slalom, Cross Country and Jump). Most of those all wear variations on the same outfit - Skintight lycra - and most of them also have a head- and face-obscuring helmet and visor/goggles.
I sketched and sketched and sketched and could never quite get the iconic poses for most of them down. Ski Jump was one of the first I tried and rejected. I narrowed it down to Alpine Skiing, Crosscountry Skiing and Speed Skating. I asked around and showed some folks the sketches. Crosscountry skiing was in the lead, until my sister went “what about ski jump?” So, to humour her, I gave Ski Jump another go.
I should honestly know by now that my sister is always right.
