Tough, little, Invincible? little.

Here is a project I started for fun.
Indomitable
I decided to create a small sculpture and a painting both based around the same character.
The character I created for this piece is Dom/Indomitable.
He is loosely based on the imposing figure of a unconquerable doorman/bouncer. Dom is a doorman with all the experience and battle wounds to prove it, but underneath his tough exterior, Dom is a gentle spirit.
The figures Head, limbs and clothing detail are sculpted from polymer clay. The torso is made from a modified hard plastic tube and he is painted with acrylic. Weight approx 170 grams. Dom/Indomitable is available to guard any 17cm door.


Indomitable - Acrylic on paper
Here is the painting to go with Dom/Indomitable. Is Dom smiling?

The image is  approx 30 x 46 cm.

Here are a few shots of  Dom/Indomitable in development.

Indomitable - before he was attacked with a paintbrush!

Indomitable - Cool shoes!

Dom - unfinished profile
First designs:
Zombie Dom ?


My original design had longer legs, but this was altered due to issues with balance - Dom had a habit of falling flat on his face :)

I initially decided to have the figure with no visible hands. I imagined a character with huge fists that would magically appear from his baggy sleeves when they where needed. Maybe next time?

Older work.....

I decided to upload a selection of my older work.

Shinobi  - Ink on water colour paper.


























This piece was inspired by traditional Japanese art and my interest in Ninjutsu.

Hmm... OK that's enough ;)

I made a few minor adjustments to my last painting. Can you see the difference?







































This piece is definitely finished now, no going back!
I'm working on something new.

This is my latest work "Moon Goddess". 



It's a piece of fantasy work. I didn't have any reference material, she's straight out of my imagination. Acrylic on canvas. 30x40cm 


The original painting is available for sale.

I hope to upload some more of my work soon.
