Description
Although I don't say it much online, I'm quite into sculptures. In particular, metal ones, or as my (school) art teachers call them, "armatures".I did this piece for one of my Art units in school. The topic I had chosen for that unit was "emotion", so I decided to explore ways of expressing emotion through pose. I titled this one "Despair".
The photo was done in a cheap studio at school, which is probably why the photograph looks good (or I think it does, anyway).
So what do YOU think of it?
----------
Materials used:
- Fairly thick metal wire for the 'skeleton'.
- Thick aluminium foil used to wrap around certain areas to give it volume.
Approx. time taken: like half an hour.

Thank you, and glad you liked my piece.
..and about the calluses, haha.. yea... you do indeed. If my pliers' handles aren't plain soft rubber, I tend to wrap them with some masking tape to make it a bit nicer for my skin, otherwise I'll get some pretty bad calluses. Oh, and also, when I work a lot with wire, I get something that's almost like calluses; I call it "guitarrist fingers" (the skin of your fingerprints goes hard, just like a guitarrist); also your finger muscles get stronger.
ps: another plus side to it, if i may add, is that when you make out with your girlfriend, your "strong hands" are very "handy".

great posing! Me likey. Also the attenuation of the neck works really well.
Your reccomendation was well founded; I'm totally into what you do here. I tried an armature once and it wasnt bad, I liked doing it more than I liked the outcome....you get Great calouses!!

Very nicely done, and it really does give off the feeling of "despair". The reflections on the foil give it more depth, I like it.

Very nice! The studio may be cheap, but the picture turned out very well. I like the slight reflection on the floor, it gives it a little more depth.

Socks are rocked off as of.... NOW.
A little hard to make out the head and hands at first glance, but the legs give it away in a unique "understand the pose before you see it" style. Excellent.
