Hello Everyone! My Name is Carlos and I´m from Venezuela. I´m glad and thankful to participate on this sculpture competition, is always a pleasure for me to have an excuse to reconnect with the sculpture of human body, and see the fantastic work of other sculptors. Here I show you my work based on the reference photos of our model Charlie. I have taken the dare to add some elements to contribute to a narrative of the pose. At first Charlie´s pose reminded me that ancient roman sculture of The Farnese Hercules, so I added the skin of the Nemean lion, leaning on the club. So, in the end with these two elements, and with her hair in movement, Charlie becomes in my sculture the Queen Omphale, who owned Hercules as a slave and wore Hercules' lion skin and club while he was her servant. By the way, the name Omphale means ¨woman with beautiful navel¨ So I couldn't ignore the piercing in her navel.

LESSON NOTES

I don't see in the requirements/task (that @Andrew Joseph Keith mentioned for the winners)!!! 1. Figurative clay sculpting type for the "Bronze Casting". 2. That design can be "Fantasy". 3. That figure and the portrait - "Don't Should be like the Model". Actually - Requirements are opposite!!!
