This is another piece by the lovely Sleetwealth that has blown me away, literally! Her sculptures are unique, well crafted and always stunning. This is no exception. The story that goes along with this precious little girl only furthers the impact of the photo. Small details like teeth and bumps on the still growing horn make it well worth the time to look. My only qualm is something small and trivial, sometimes the painting is a bit off on very small parts, such as her chest. But even with that I had to look quite hard to find /anything/ wrong with this beautiful sculpture.
Thank you for taking the time to critique Abou the painting. Do you mean the looseness of the painting on the chest? SOme areas are painted and others are sandes back down to the clay. Such as on the collar bone, chin and nose tip. Do you think it needs more detail to the painting there?
I was talking about the lack of color in one area around her collarbones, it looks almost blue or like its lacking color. perhaps a bit more detail there would take away from the lack of color effect?
Her neck is painted blue as faux shadows and the collarbones are just the peach color of the original clay with off white scumbled on the pectorials. Ill add some washes and see if I can improve it.
I did some quick paint on it and took another shot though the light is failing now so, the photo is not as nice looking colorwize. Ill keep fiddling till its smothed out etc I think you were right that the blue had overrun the chest making it seem unpainted greyish clay.
You never cease to amaze me!
