SciFi and Fantasy Art: Olwen - Daughter of Yspaddaden Penkawr

Weeeellll, long story short, this figurine was a commissioned piece for a company that soon appeared to be a fraud. Fortunately, I didn't sign anything so here it is :) Olwen from the Welsh Tales (Mabinogion) yound and fair lady, daughter of Yspaddaden Penkawr (litertally 'big head') and soon to be Culwch's wife. Olwen means 'white steps' because everywhere she went, white flowers were growing on her path.... Incidentally, I got one of the 'Jury choices' at GenCon ArtShow for this one :) (very happy, that's my first prize ever :p) Limited edition resin copies will be available by the end of August on my new site. I'm giving it a try this year, several figurines, white or painted or engraved .. etcetc... 180mm high - original in plaster and epoxy resin (Milliput not to name it) Tutorial on its way (I've got a few steps to document but I'm working on it... only 24 hours a day, y'know.. sigh) Drop a mail for any question :) !

26 Dec 2004	Queeny	Loading... Ohhh.. This is so cute.. And so stunningly beautiful.. This is truly the first thing that has left me speachless... Allot of people can paint.. But only a few can sculpt... And you are the best I have seen I'm and in aw.. Absolute beautiful job.. I bow down to you.
25 Jan 2005	Quiet and shy	Loading... Yay! I've never seen a mods choice for a sculpture before, and seeing as I am a sculptor myself, this gets me quite excited. Yay again!
19 Jun 2005	Pixi	Loading... Gaaaah the hand it's so real!! You're really good at this, keep it up!
28 Nov 2005	Lo@nn	Loading... splendid
22 Jan 2006	Anonymous	Loading... one thing i gotta say, to that harry character -- for one thing u didn't match that comment you made with a compliment, another thing - shuddap it's BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!! How old are you Sophie? How long you been doing this? I so betcha you couldnt be younger than 20, i mean the experience it would take for this... then again... i've noticed those young ones tend to give more than a few heart-stopping surprises within Elfwood. Sophie 'SoMK' M.Klesen replies: "Naaah, don't worry, I'm an old fart. but there are quite a few youngguns outhere who give me the creeps, I just pray that their coming "everyday life" will not destroy their creativity.. because the time we need to make something means sometimes squat in front of day to day imperatives sigh Create a lot while you can and brace for impact "
29 Jun 2006	Olwen	Loading... Hey dats my name lol yay!!!!!!!!!!! Im in a myth nice sculpture
29 Jun 2006	Lorraine Yund	Loading... That's spectacular!
17 Oct 2006	Rachel Day	Loading... AAACK! No, that wasn't a scream of horror, it was a scream of amazement. That is exquisite. How can you make plaster have so much movement and delicacy? I can't even do that when sketching, and I can erase.
29 Oct 2007	Simone 'Teleri' Bechtold	Loading... I really like your style in general, but this is.. awesome. I always envy people who are so confident at carving/modeling/just making things in 3D out of nearly nothing. Big respect. At the moment we translate the third branch of the Mabinogi (Manawydan uab Llyr, that is) from Welsh to German at university. If you ever come to the point modeling Riannon, tell me
6 Nov 2007	Annemie Thijs	Loading... Wow - that's some dazzling detail over there. Only 18 centimeters high? Wow. I'd like this life-sized in my garden, if I had a garden. Excellent work!
