Took me a total of about 21 hours to finish this piece. (Seven total days, 2-3 hours each day)

I have to say that this is probably the best sculpture I've done so far. What tickles me the most about this piece is that she came out exactly as I envisioned her in my head. She fought with me at the beginning. I had to scrap my first attempt, but then she decided to chill out and cooperate with me.

She stands about 15" tall. That seems to be the average height of all my sculptures.

Now, when I say she's complete, I mean that I'm done with the sculpting process. All that's left now is to have her bisque fired, then have her fired again, and then I can paint her. When all this will happen I have no idea. I'll post an update when she goes through each process.

As soon as she gets completely fired I'll paint her. ;)

a question, why are her eyes hollow?

Thank you!

It's a common technique in sculpting to hollow out the pupils. When they are hollowed, shadows are cast that fall on the inside of the pupil. What this does is makes the pupil darker compared to the rest of the sculpture. This gives the illusion that the pupils are black without the aid or paints or glazes.

Also if you think about it, our pupils are actually hollow. Of course they don't look like that at first glance because they are covered by the cornea and other stuff.
