Artist's Comments

Aren't my titles so creative? XD

This was recently finished for my sculpture class. She's life sized, carved from polystyrene with glass eyes and epoxy details (I haven't added nipples yet). The chair isn't part of the piece, all they had were wooden chairs in the photography studio. I would have preferred to have her on some sort of grey pedestal that faded in with the background.

This was intended to be a weird fantasy piece as well as hinting at animal rights issues. Note that she has albino rabbit eyes. This is also uncovered foam to reveal the materials and construction of the piece. I don't necessarily expect people on DA to understand or like this piece because it's not "pretty" in the same way my other animals are and not something that appeals to a wide audience, but that's ok. If you guys do happen to like it, I'll just be pleasantly surprised. I think it's kinda cool anyway and like it just as much if not more than my fur covered pieces.

Since there are no nipples showing and it's just the basic female form, I'm not going to put a mature warning on this. It should be ok, but if not I'll put it back up with the warning.

For an idea of scale, she is 59 x 16 x 32 inches.

Very well done! I couldnt imagine making a sculpture like that out of foam. You certainly have skills "as we allready know ;)" where do you get your foam?

Yes, it's finished as is (though I'll probably add some epoxy nipples).

I used a bunch of extra foam at school for this one. Otherwise I buy it at a home improvement store, usually Menards. I'm not sure if they have those where you are.

Thanks!

Thanks! This one's pretty much finished as is, I just need to add some nipples.

Hmm... if you don't mind a slight critique... it looks like her head might be a bit too small... other than that it looks fantastic and I know I would have trouble trying to do a life size piece.

*nods* I think it maybe is a little small. That problem came from the initial drawing that I used for my pattern (it's so important to get those right!). She looks a little better when viewed directly from the front. It was also tough to get the proportions right when combining species like that. >_<

Thanks!

Yeah, I know, I draw a lot of anthro work and it is really tough to gauge sometimes, one time I actually traced my own head and then a hyena skull over it to figure out proportions for my furrsona, though I ended up tossing that concept..
