Celestial Bodies WIP

A Royal Couple of Moons
(their work in progress so far)


Photobucket


The Moon King


He measures 9 inches top to bottom. His face is almost half the size of his total size. If he were a humanoid, he would measure to almost 30 inches! This is the largest face I have sculpted and the size was a bit intimidating for me.
ahhhh, but he put my fears to rest with his serene nature...
His face as well as the intricate embossed body scroll work is sculpted of a Cernit mix.
Over a wire frame, Apoxi and brown Sculpy.


The Moon Queen


The Queen wears anitque painted glass pearls. She measures about 8 1/2 inches high.
Her long eyelashes are feathers.

Each moon will be an independant design. Each with a lunar faerie or two.
They will be sold separately, but they and their artist really wanted them to be photographed together.



The faces (approx. 4 1/2 inches) were painted with layers of heat set oils in lovely blues, lavendars and pinks. Then, they were whitened and pearlized for a glowing lunar effect.



Each Royal will have a significant crown with jewels. The King's crown will be silver and the Queen's crown will be in golds and white with pink jewels. You can see the unwhitened spot on her forehead where the crown will be attached.


They are peaceful Celestial bodies who rule the night sky with dignity and wisdom.
