"JORGE BENLLOCH: Oh, we're going to add here to this, attach that body to that body. I mean, that fin has to be in here, and we have to make the shape of the fin, proper fin here. Then we have to add in this one; we have to add a little bit more body mass because it's one of the--we make coil here and we add a little bit over here to the head. That is going to make this one pop up a little bit more that we need that. Then we are going to add this in here too. We have to make like the illusion of deep of field, that one is closer than the other one; in fact, they swim very close. They never touch or I don't know, I can't say they never touch but they don't touch much or they don't. They are super sized. When they swim, it's fantastic. Now, we are going just to add detail of the mouth, column, the jaws. They have very powerful jaws. We'll start over the head. They have like round head. We are going to put more material here. It's better if you do that. It helps. Make a coil. Also, it looks the muscles of the dolphin. The dolphin they have this kind of elongated, muscular structure that if you do it with clay, it shows pleasure in the shades when you paint it or whatever. Now, we are going to take this off like this because they have a nice belly but we have to make the illusion that it is round. Okay, now, here. I have to cut this because it comes from that side, we have to add it here a little bit."
