Meet Milou, a Jack Russel Terrier. She belongs to my good friend, who just happened to celebrate a birthday recently. What better present than to sculpt her beloved dog? It was a lot of fun to try to get Milou's characteristics just right so that the sculpture is recognizable. Would be great to do more personalized pet portraits...
Above is one of the pictures that I went off of while creating the head. I really tried to capture Milou's coloring around half the face through the flower on the sculpture. Also if you notice, the left side of the sculpture is very simple with just a floating eye since Milou is mostly white on that side. I really tried to keep the sculpture simple and let the flower stand out. However this made the head quite hard to balance since one side is much heavier than the other. Took ages to fix, but it turned out for the best. Both my friend and I are extremely pleased with the outcome.
