NIKITARAS (Hellenic Revolution Leader)

[Anastasiya]

Hello Planetfigure!
I am happy to post my sculptures here again! Previous 6 months have been pretty busy and now I can start showing the projects that I've been working on.

I was very glad to sculpt the Nikitaras bust for YS Masterpieces. It was quite complicated but at the same time a very interesting subject for me. I was really enjoying working on the uniform,that is so beautiful - all these embroideries, buttons and golden cords

I hope you will like this bust! Thanks for watching!

Here is the link to the official release of Nikitaras bust:

Anastasiya: Oh my goodness, now that I've seen those
beautiful images of this beautiful bust, I can see what
you mean about the joy of working in
"all these embroideries, buttons and golden cords" as
you so aptly put it. First off, the face is full of drama
and tension. I have no idea how you, as a talented
sculptor can do that! Then it is on to the "visual
feast" of the turben, (sorry, sp) the placements of the
arms and weaponry; which pump up the atmosphere
even more. And most impressive for me, all the
beautiful detail of the uniform, as you mentioned —
embroideries, buttons, golden cords. Indeed this is a
"golden" presentation. I will you will with this latest effort

Thank you, Dejan!
As for embroideries I just add the thin layer of clay to the surface giving it the general shape.After I work on it with shapers and also I use a needle to add the textures.
