Description
This is me modeling a body extension sculpture I made for school. It is metal brazed (welded with bronze, basically) together and covered with tracing paper and wallpaper glue. The pink bits are spraypaint. Took several weeks to make, but I loved (most) every second. Have a pretty hellacious scar on my arm from being burned by the frame. I LOVED working with acetylene torches and really wish I had more access to the equipment. Someone said it looked "light and airy" but it was in fact heavy as hell, precariously balanced and difficult to walk in. And no, it isn't star wars, but I was definitely inspired when I made the design. Now she (because only a she could be SO DAMN BITCHY) hangs on my wall in my room. This project is one of the most fulfilling I've ever done, despite several moments of frustration, panic, and a few tears being shed. I wish I could wear her to dragon*con, but she is SO unwieldy and it is very hard to move around, so I'd have to stand with it on my head in one spot with people protecting me from getting knocked over. A lot of work....

High res versions can be viewed here , which I recommend since DA sized this down considerably. I might come back in and fix it but right now I have a headache and don't want to bother. -_-
