This is actually made from a cast of my own face, so it's a little eerie how similar it looks, and yet how different. This was the result of another really cool ceramics project. Actually, her appearance is in large part due to the fact that when I took the face out of the mold, the nose kind of broke off. I ended up liking the cracks, and so they stayed and were accentuated. At first I thought she'd be a beat-up zombie girl, but once I'd done the hair I realized she was really a medusa.

it's an amazing resemblance, really. looks EXACTLY like you. i thought the cracks were just natural parts of your facial structure...

i love you no-tentacles.

This is a piece. Was it an art project? The cracks alone should've scored an A.

Hm, this is cool. I think it deserves a mod's choice.

I agree that it's really cool....the cracks are perfect...looks somewhat sick XD you're doing great in modeling!
