Artist's Comments

Song is 6& 1/2" to the tips of her crown.

She is excited to be growing her beautiful new horn!
A coming of age for her people. But there are growing pains to endure!
I was amped about the concept of a horn that grows out of a fissure at the pituary gland rather than plunkled on top of the head.
I reasoned as a child a race of unihorned people would be hornless and they would sprout, with headaches and some blood as the skin splits. Slowly throughout adulthood the crown grows shut.

I used a new paint method on this. I painted precure. Pushing the brush into the paint and clay to make a skin texture.

Critiques


:iconsphilr:
In addition to the awesome craftsmanship and acumen brought to bear on the technical challenges of sculpture, there's a bandwidth of emotion on the human spectrum that you're exceptionally articulate with, particularly in that realm between ecstasy and pain, agony and epiphany...
The features have been masterfully coaxed from the material with such a sensuous and organic touch that it's difficult to remember this is polymer and not living tissue; the technique of pushing brush points of pigmentation into the clay prior to curing enables the sculpture to inhabit a subcutaneous dimension as well as the one immediately available to our eyes, and further defines the sense one has of an individual and vital life force.
Created with so much empathy and compassion that viewing it is as much about marveling at the technical accomplishments as it is about submitting to the emotions so powerfully at work here.

This is another piece by the lovely Sleetwealth that has blown me away, literally! Her sculptures are unique, well crafted and always stunning. This is no exception. The story that goes along with this precious little girl only furthers the impact of the photo. Small details like teeth and bumps on the still growing horn make it well worth the time to look. My only qualm is something small and trivial, sometimes the painting is a bit off on very small parts, such as her chest. But even with that I had to look quite hard to find /anything/ wrong with this beautiful sculpture.

You never cease to amaze me!

Oh my, I must comment because I have had the very same thoughts about growing a horn with age within a race of unicorn people. Beautifully done, such stunning detail! (The mouth especially draws me, for some reason.)
