TOURNAMENT
Painted Statue
Simple, yet complex, this sculpture
that Spyda calls "Tournament" shows off his skills and his sculpting
philosophy. Spyda feels strongly that a sculpture should be interesting to
view from all angles, or else it may as well be done as a flat illustration
viewed from one angle. The design of Tournament fit this multi-angle concept
perfectly.
Pausing atop a cliff, the woman leans forward on her beast and the beast tips
ever so slightly forward, causing the viewer to feel the tension and weight
for the figures to continue forward over the cliff, to the next town and the
next tournament. Her arm forward points where she wants her beast to go, the
wind pushes her hair forward.
The angles of the figure cause the viewer to feel the tendons of the beast's
ankles as if it were about to take off. Wether you look at this figure from
the left side, right side, front, back, three quarter, you get the same effect.
It turned out to be a very exciting piece and we are proud to make it available
to you.
The figure stands at about 10 inches tall. The painted version is limited
to 100 copies. Available while supplies last!
Aslo available as a resin model kit.
