In all seriousness, I have to agree with you. I made the same point about Arkhalla when they put her up for sale. Fine should not be the words used to describe an almost $500 statue. When I look at this company's past statues, I would say that we got a lot for our money. Even the Medusa Victorious at 1K is impressive. However, when you look at Arkhalla, Valkyrie, and Eve I do not feel the same way, and for the most part, I do like these statues. I am not out looking for how many statues I can get. I'm concerned with the quality of what I am receiving. I have no problem spending the money, but I need them to give a little more.

It is so weird. The sculpt looked great here. A lovely start.
But wtf happened to it?
He obviously tweaked the boobs to look ridiculous.
And his paint....another sculpt ruined by his slop.
It is so sad. He employs these talented sculptors, that do such beautiful 3D renders and then he stops on the most flat paint app. I don't know how this guy ever thought he could paint. Just look at the nipples alone. All he does it apply a circle of pink paint.....lmao. I don't know how anyone can look at the finished piece and justify it.

And blaming your customers....Definitely sounds like something he would do.

Or like when you go to a truck stop gas station they have those giant brass or chromed scrotum balls you hang off the trailer hitch.

But wait...on the brighter side you get it in 1/4 scale format.

I can only agree with that.
WTF happened ??? The first pics were quite promising (nothing extraordinary though, but promising) and here comes the final result : It looks like a cheap mannequin in the front window of a Prehistoric H&M...

I like it.

I would like to build on your idea and refine it just a touch, to:

ARH: The Customer is Never Right!

While not common these do exist in nature, even without plastic surgery. It would be NSFW but you can find photos of natural breasts on the internet that have this phenomenon. They Truly do come in all shapes and sizes. As Ron White once observed, once you've seen one you pretty much want to see them all.

Breasts on statues are THE most subjective thing there is. Some people think bigger is better. Some people think Jennifer Aniston size is perfect. I even know guys who prefer unusually small sizes. Since nobody knows what Eve would have looked like it is up to the artists interpretation.

As to WTF happened I think it is the paint job. Arahom is a extremely good sculptor IMO but just a good painter. Now that he is offering this as a kit I think if it was done in the hands of a truly great painter opinions here might be different (except the boob debate, that will always be the case whenever boobs are discussed).

Sorry, I can't get over where the nipples are placed (It's too high).
