JEAN L// FORM & SPACE.......... FEWHAKO


Above is an image of a sculpture that I saw on a webpage. It caught my attention immediately because of the style of character that was sculpted. In general, I enjoy pieces that have detail within the body’s structure. This sculpture has a lot of detail and the wood was carved to make a comic book character figure. The sculptor did a great job coloring the piece along with giving the anime character a dramatic tone to compliment the figure’s stance. As a drawing, this would be hard for most to pull off the right way. This figure was carved however and then painted on. That’s amazing to me. You can see how the light bounces off the deeper creases within the character’s suit. What I like the most is the choice of weapon, the way the pants looks like pants (as if they’re actually tighter in some areas), and the upper armor. It’s just a great demonstration of how an animation can be brought to life. You can even see the actual wood at the bottom where the paint fades. Crazy.
