I decided to go back to the style and shape that I was working on and have created two pieces of different scales. The piece represents Callisto and her son Arcas after Jupiter had turned them into constellations in the night sky. Together they look really great and actually I think the most successful thing about this piece is the fact that it is hung up. This hanging way of representing it really interesting and the piece could almost be like a painting, hung in a gallery.
Again I have left the piece unpainted because as a pair I think it is interesting enough without the use of paint. I also really like how the bottom one is plain as it doesn't over complicate the piece. Its not stressful to look it, in fact its rather calming.
The texture was the most successful on these two and as you can see the craters and bumps are really prominent. This is exactly what I was looking for and you can really see the moon influence that I took.
As you can see I made the sculpture really thin so it wasn't too heavy and was able to be hung like this. Overall the piece was really successful and though I thought about painting it, I'm glad that I didn't.
