Limestone portrait - detail 1by ~tecciztecatl

Traditional Art / Sculpture / Busts (People)

Detail shot.

Believe it or not, his face really is as bulbous and misshapen as it appears in the stone. It’s not a perfect portrait by a long way though - if anything I made him more symmetrical than he actually is. And that nose was great fun to model but a hell of a challenge to carve.

nice.

Better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, though checkered by failure, than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in the gray twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat.

This is very good!
Tim, you will make this infront of a live model?
How long it will take for you to finish of this work?

Thank you!

I made the clay head from a live model, then cast it in plaster and carved the stone from the plaster. I think the clay modelling and plaster casting took around 25 hours, and then the carving took about 200 hours.

Well i don't know ho is he! But men that's really awesome work there! great sculpture

~tecciztecatl Aug 23, 2008

Thank you! It's not of anyone people would recognise, he's just a model we got into the studio to work from. He was chosen cause his face is so unusual - big beard, big nose and so on.

Ask any artist about “emptiness&#x 201D; and they’ll tell you about the constant recurring nightmarish emptiness they must face down almost every day as a part of their vocation: the blank space that they must fill. Whether he’s a painter facing a blank canvas or she’s...

Among the countless number of writers in this world, each of us writes according to his or her own process. It's a routine we settle into, a habit we develop.
