Nice work, Marcus Reminds me of the Victorian cameo carvings.

"If elephants didn't exist, you couldn't invent one. They belong to a small group of living things so unlikely they challenge credulity and common sense. Animals such as aardvarks, hammerhead sharks and star-nosed moles. All so odd they can only be described in terms of something else, something more familiar.
Compared to them, we are primitive, hanging on to a stubborn, unspecialised, five-fingered state, clever but destructive. They are models of refinement, nature’s archangels, the oldest and largest land mammals, touchstones to our imagination.” -(Lyall Watson, Elephantoms)

Hi Tom! Nice to hear you, I hope everything is fine! I had to find out what cameo carving is, but it's true. I found out that the deepness of carving is not the key to a plastic look.
These flat reliefs need clean edges and the surfaces must come together in the right angle.
I have to look for Lyall Watson, it sounds very interesting.Thx and best regards!
