Description
Stage 1 of my Thesis project for SVA Illustration; I decided to do sculptures. The theme is "Fairy Tales," exploring the darker side of them. I used the story Taming the Pooka by DR McAnally, which is available for free on Project Gutenberg here: [link]

This is the Pooka, after he has been defeated by King Brian Boru, who tricks him into wearing a bridle made of the Pooka's own hair, then rides him to exhaustion until the Pooka promises never to harm another man.

I still have a lot more to do on these to get them to be show-worthy. I'll show you the finals once I'm finished. The fire is lit up with blue LED lights. I sculpted everything (except the action figure, lol). I sculpted the fire in clay, then cast it in clear plastic Smooth-On so it would pick up the light.

Hours and hours and HOURS of work here.
