I didn't realize until working on this project that lamassu (like here: www.metmuseum.org/art/collecti...) have such stylized shapes and lines on the limbs #art #sculpture #wip

Took longer than I'd like to admit to get the paint on her head to have the finish I was hoping for.

Hornet wielding... chopstick. And with cloak mock up made out of the first random fabric I found. Enough to figure out where her arms should be!

Precariously balancing her head on her body. I think I'll need to figure out her cloak before I work on her arms.

While waiting for resin experiments to cure, I started working on an armature for Hornet's body. Lookin' a little mummified. #wip

I wanted to try for a subtle compound eye look but, after a few tests, I like the simple one the best.
