WIP Creepy Tables 1/10th La Charra

[Steve Brodie]

Started work on this fantastic bust of La Charra A personification of death, Santa Muerte is associated with healing, protection, and safe delivery to the afterlife by her devotees. Despite opposition by the Catholic Church, her cult arose from popular Mexican folk belief, a syncretism between indigenous Mesoamerican and Spanish Catholic beliefs and practices.


She is been painted in Oils.

This is where i am at so far;

I need to sort out her eye makeup; needs more painting, her skin tone; whites need adding. her hat has only had the first coat of acrlics, so needs a 2nd one then i can start adding the gold via printers gold ink.

Good start Steve, very colourful I always thought the Mexican Day of Death thing was done in black. This makes the whole thing a lot more jolly! I'll watch with interest.

Cheers Simon

Another very interesting subject. Great start, will she be done in time for the Day of the Dead?

The BBC website had an article on this parade recently. Pictures were a bit "arty" to really get an idea of the masks and makeup but this one is good:

I have seen this bust a few times and really like it, as you say it can be really colourful.
I look forward to seeing it finished.
