Fantasy Head Views

For my modeling class, we got the chance to turn our ordinary heads into fantasy heads, meaning we can do whatever we want with them and turn them into something that was still humanoid, but with exotic features. For my fantasy head, I decided to do my own take on the classic Greek mythological creature, the Sphinx. 

I used inspiration from photos across the Internet and saw that her head was mainly human. So I decided to use cat-like features, the cat eyes and ears, to make her seem less human, but not totally cat-like either. I added the band to give her more of the Sphinx features, and to add a little personality to her. This was a pretty fun project, if I do say so myself!  

Head Sculpture and Ear

Er, sorry I've not been on for a long while. Art school can really take a lot out of you. (laughs nervously) But I'm back! And I've got more to show you all.

For my modeling class, we are currently working on the head. This was a picture I took after we worked on it for the first time. As you can see, there's not a whole lot on there. But we recently added on the facial features, which I'll be able to show you all soon as soon as I'm back to school after my spring break.

By the head, you can see that there's also an ear. This was part of our homework assignment; we make the ear out of clay, and try to match it to the sample our teacher made for us to demonstrate we understand the proportions and all.
