Finished sculpture of White Lightning, Billowing Clouds of Ash (COA), character by @calllynx.
I sculpted this one in January and only got it back from the kiln a few days ago, and have since added all the jewelry and painted it. She's made of fired earthenware clay, wire for the jewelry, and is painted with acrylics.
I made a sculpture of this same character about one year ago, and always felt dissatisfied with how it turned out. Still proud of it, but felt I could have done much more. Now I have, and that itch is scratched (for now).
This one was a joy to make. The last one I made of this character ended up being pretty intricate, with lots of decorative elements and emphasis on dress. For this one, I wanted to take a simpler tack, focusing on the character herself and her distinctive elements. That mostly meant the nose rings, eye dots, and earrings, all of which were great fun to make.
The hair was a bit tedious to make, but I feel it turned out well. Didn't really figure out a concrete way to texture it, but it works. That was one of the main things I felt the most dissatisfied with in the original I made, and that's been resolved now.
Anyways- go check out @calllynx, her art is cool. Got me to make two sculptures out of one design, so that tells you something, probably.
