Hey Guys This is my Final project of University. So I went for something big. I designed a lifesize statue of a woman with an anubis mask on. she will hold a Book of the Dead. Shes sculpted from Clay, weighs about 50KG at the moment, but I still have more clay to add. She will be cast in Fibreglass and painted Gold  Would love feedback  Wayne        |

Wow Wayne. She is looking fantastic. The sculpt is amazing, especially at that large scale. She is a lovely blend of femininity but also has a amazonian edge to her. I am curious, what is the yellow gel you have put over the armature ? It looks like some kind of resin.
I can't wait to see her finished - she will surely be magnificent!

Wow! This is a breathtaking piece Wayne. The sculpt is so smooth and realistic looking. Watching your work evolve and progress over the years has been fascinating and this latest piece is a true testiment to your talent. This is going to be one hell of a beauty once she's complete. ;D

Awww thanks guys! or should i say Gals! this is the first piece ive ever done at this scale, so im glad its coming out well. We have an exhibition/ recruitment fair in London after, so i wanted something that would really pop. Kate, your comments are appreciated as usual And Sarah, thanks also. I wanted womanly, but more than human, as these sort of statues would of been worshipped. I used wood for the armature and chicken wire, then plaster and scrim. Then sealed it with shellac to stop the plaster drying out the clay Wayne |

Hey Guys! Sorry for the total lack of updates on this, it has swamped me down! Its due in today and has been finished for a week, so i thought id give you guys some photos. I spent ages sanding and priming it. took forever, still wasnt perfect, but it was intended to be antiqued, so it looked fine  I sprayed it black  Then Gold- i used plastikote brilliant metallic Gold. AMAZING PAINT its so shiny!  I then antiqued it using dark furniture wax   I hope you guys like her. sorry for the rushed updates. I did plan to give her a book, but it covered too much of her body, so i went for a scroll, i havent photographed that yet though. So yeh, its due today, very nervous. Wish me luck guys lol Cheers Wayne |

I forsee a bright future for you. When I saw that, I thought "it could be a prop for a movie or a piece at a art gallery". It's excellent.
Have you decided what to work with now that your uni time is over?
