Which is why this Medusa is so refreshing, I think.

I don't like it either, but Medusa has a tail. I don't think she'll have the ridiculous tippy toes.

I see a recurring theme in your pieces and in your posts explaining them - the legs, and the "sexy" pose. I get it, everyone gets it, you like women!!! Hell, I love women, and I could write an essay on the reasons why! But.......Sexy, is one aspect of the female condition.

In some situations, a woman is far from "sexy". Take a look at reference photos of sadistic female murderer's for example! What I'm saying is, you've just sculpted a statue of Medusa, and in your mind the design brief is for her to be "sexy", problem is, Medusa was anything but sexy!! She was cruel, vindictive, murderous, and without mercy. She was death incarnate.

My advice is to not let childish male adolescent sexual fantasy dictate your entire portfolio, explore the range of possibilities these characters actually have. The best artists are not "one trick ponies". Trying to make everything "sexy", even the most horrific characters from myth and legend, serves only to make them comical....
Jeez! If I don't follow my 'childish male adolescent sexual fantasy' then I might as well get a 9 to 5 job and make a hell of a lot more money. Haha.

You have to understand I'm not doing this to sell statues, I'm creating this because it's an expression of art for me. I don't know where it leads, but it's just something I love doing and look forward to everyday. For how long, who knows. I'm just following my passion. But I am glad that the statues do sell so that the production is possible by Yamato. Thanks, -Wei

Maybe you'll like Zeus then. That's what I'm working on now.

Hey Weiworks,

I think your Medusa is perfect, a perfect combination of horror and twisted sexiness

I really like your recent stuff and have most of it on pre-order... So don't ever change your style ...

That's the final sculpt for Medusa. It's been outputted by the factory and shown at Comicon. It looks good so far.
