Having thought long and hard as to whether or not I should show this piece, I decided to (but may delete later if I don’t like it - or people don’t like it). It is a brutal piece showing early black metal, which was a really gritty metal genre, who did heinous acts, including church burnings and murders. I am neither satanist nor especially interested in the gritty and the dark, but for some reason I like black metal. It brings a chill down my spine, and there was just dark soul to the core of early black metal bands. However, I should state very clearly, that this is not an homage to this dark bit of Norwegian musical history, but rather a curiosity and an insistance to dig into different musical genres with this bust.
The paint job is neither especially good, nor is the sculpting from my hand really with any merit. And the pictures are horrible. But having seen other do a barbie version with corpse paint I kinda had to finish this. No disrespect, honestly.
Let me know what you think.
