Looks nice. I'm not a sculptor. What medium is that? I don't like the color of it. It looks like you pee'd on it. If you really like this you should probably get some better photographs taken of it as that front shot seems washed out by the lighting especially where her left arm goes over her right. It might be nice to see a close up on the face to see how well its crafted since right now it's kind of difficult to tell. What's the scale of this?

Wow, that is great! I tried sculpting a torso last year and know how frickin' hard it is. Looks like you've pulled off something killer ... great job!

I love the grainy style you've achieved (feel free to insult me to death if it was not on purpose :P).

Oh, and it looks extremely rad, too. Wouldn't mind having it standing somewhere in my house.

Joeslucher - it was done in terracotta then painted with white acrylic and brushed with yellow ochre. The "pee" look is part and parcel to the camera. In real life she isnt as saturated yellow. I do plan on taking better pics. She is about 10 inches tall.

Matt Elder - thank you though i know there are other sculptors who post on this forum that deserve that kind of praise over me.

Seraph - yeah the "grainy" look was intentional and because of the terracotta that i used. Thanks for the comments.
