SciFi and Fantasy Art Angel Still in Progress by Theodore Roy Hellqvist


	This is the same angel, but---I had to carve a new head to replace the old one, and it's too small, and the neck's too long. As well the proportions are kind of uncomfortable. I still don't know for sure where we're going---Anybody got any suggestions?

23 Aug 2002	Glenna	Loading... She's not exactly girl shaped try bringing in the waist. Don't know if it will work though Theodore Roy Hellqvist replies: "Yeah, thanks Glenna. Maybe that'll help to bring out some hips, but I don't know if there's enough material in the right places.Ted"
1 May 2003	Jaclyn C. Cifranic	Loading... I like your carving style; it reminds me of Native American sculptures or other works of early civilations. I agree with Glenna; I think you need to bring out the shape of the feminine body more. She looks too masculine. ~ Kiki-Bird
3 May 2003	S 'faething' VanDenEng	Loading... Oh wow! She looks almost like a Fae creature! - which is a complement from me... at any rate, i have to disagree with your first commentators... she looks positively feminine to me! Who could mistake her for a boy? Really! I just think she needs more detailing on her legs for definition. That's the only critique I can come up with for you. It's brilliant! I'd say she's done. Theodore Roy Hellqvist replies: "Yeah, I guess we all have different ideas about what constitutes feminine, masculine, etc. For me, she has a lot fo the right parts but the torso and general posture still aren't right yet. Possibly, never will be---see trajic developements when I get a chance to poste again--- also I began to run out of material, especially in parts of the legs. That is I agree with your comment about the legs but I think there's noroom left to do what's needed. More soon I hope. T"
2 Apr 2004	Sus	Loading... I saw more faery thn angel as well.. I love the wings, and the hair. I was sort of thinking about a more defining waist as well, but at this point I think it would make her too thin looking. And I'm not entirely sure about her posture..is she sitting, or standing.. she doesn't quite seem to be doing wither one. Still, I agree with the comment about, she does seem to work as is.
