Had a pleasant surprise with a notification to say my Baiye head by 竹间鹿鸣/Zhu Jian Lu Ming was on its way... only took 2 months from order to shipping Also had very quick journey, which was much appreciated as I have another head currently now 2 weeks in customs jail. The box was quite heavy for a head, and realised why when I saw the robust box it came in (lovely colour!). Came in a velvet pouch, CoA and some post cards, eased the wax seal open gently with a paper knife.
The head is matched to Soom Normal for ease of playing head roulette. This Baiye head is gorgeous blank and looks stunning with contrasting light to create dramatic shadows Thinking of putting large horns with this head, want to do this sculpt justice (after finding a suitable body first ). This head has lots of character but flexible I think. Need to build up face up skills before I tackle this one. Staying blank won't be a hardship for this one, I can appreciate the sculpting a little longer when blank
Omg what a gorgeous face, delicate and sharp at the same time! Very versatile too, I especially like the nose. Like you said some sculpts you just want to enjoy blank for a while haha that is definitely one of them, congrats!!
@lendelia thank you I have a few heads which I can't do justice to them and look better when wiped haha. I love the nose too and had remembered this sculpt being angry or disgruntled looking, but now looking at it now in person it could be made to look smirking or smiling. The brow and mouth shapes give extra possibilities Just need to get some other heads done which are waiting patiently and then I can tackle this one
