Anubis ~ Work in Progress

He is gorgeous. I love how you've blackened some bits and polished others. He must be quite valuable too.

Gorgeous!!!!

Wow, he's amazing! I can't help thinking Morph to marvellous. Hope that's not offensive because I can appreciate the amount of work involved. What are his long term plans?

That's gorgeous colouring over such a big piece! He's probably the most beautiful (and valuable) anubis that's been made for thousands of years!

Wow Nic he is lovely! Like Carole I like the oxidisation, it makes him look more ancient.

That's one smart Jackal God Nic, I reckon he's a masterpiece. Dennis.

I've got no patience, or ability to do anything like that,great skill.
You could have carved it in wax and had it cast?,then had a rubber made.Then made it as a jewellery line?Always trying to think of a way to make money(nothing has worked yet?)
I think of stargate(sci fi movie) when i see those,instead of thinking ancient Egypt.

Sorry I haven't been around I'm in the states at the PMC World conference and very much enjoying myself
Just popped in and saw all these wonderful comments!

I blackened some areas following some historical research, Anubis as "Lord of the Underworld" was often portrayed that way as the colour was associated with death....(eek) Also thought it looked cool

Gorgeous!!!!

Thank you!

Not at all offended & I'm glad you enjoyed seeing his transformation from "Morph", lol Haven't decided on his long term plans yeet as I still have to decide on a base (he's currently stuck in a rubber bench block). Will probably sell him....

Lol - I'm sure there are loads more valuable but I loved making him and want to make another....maybe Bast

Thanks Jill - there's still more to come as I'm going to do a base and a little more finishing too

I'm really glad I went with the oxidisation too (when I do it properly it's going to be a lot of polishing though!)

I'm making him for the Masters Registry of metal clay artists (one of 10 projects) so I guess that counts, lol
Really pleased with the way he's turned out, definately think he's got me to up my game....

It's for the metal clay Masters Registry (hence the choice of material) I don't think even puff daddy would wear something as big as this
(I love Stargate)
