Critique and Photo Shoot

Yesterday was critique day (again...) and a mini-photo shoot session for our work. The lighting utterly failed on my blindingly white girl, and therefore most of the shots are unusable. After one shattered studio light and a little troubleshooting later, I did manage to get a few...


She is sculpted paperclay, with fish lures on the bottom, and fly-tying fluff for a powdery wig look. I originally wanted to use candy, but the fear of hungry ants became too great. Fish lures were a wonderful substitute and look amazing, but they were hard to work with. Slimy and difficult to glue. The critique went over well, one guy said that it looks like something he would get tattooed and that I could definitely sell these, and one girl said she wants it. Just wants it, for her nightstand. Pretty good for a couple days work I'd say.

A soft focus close up of her face against the photo shoot background, the only one that really came out, unfortunately.
