If you saw a heat wave, would you wave back?

I'm wondering if the sculptor, during his creative process, does that consciously. I mean, did Will Harbottle set out to have Zatanna look like Denise Richards (or whoever else) or is it just pure coincidence that the end product kinda looks like her ?

I would imagine some sculptors would find inspiration in female celebrities. And even if some sculptors don't it's natural that we all find resemblances in these portraits.

Cross country skiing is great if you live in a small country.

A beautiful sculpt, but if you choose to walk(?), be mindful of the senseless squawk.

Your comments made no sense.
The statue and concept are beautiful; the portrait ruined it for ME. If you like the portrait as well then that's great and I'm happy for you. To me, I'd have liked it to resemble Denise Richards, as some have claimed it does but I simply don't see it. This is MJ all the way. There is nothing wrong with having a difference of opinion.

Comments made no sense? No, you commenting and projecting homophobic nonsense makes no sense, especially with this gorgeous creature.
Portrait "ruins" this statue? Really? Let's play pretend with a slice of life, & try to shed some light on the nonsensical, and the uptight.
If you were approached by this beautiful gal in a bar, & she invited you back for a magical ride in her car, would you decide to pass on it? Cause if you did(?), you'd be considered an idiot.
No manly congratulatory slaps on the back for your MJ stance, because given half the chance, 99% of the guys here would hump this chick every which way, including sideways,.......................while doing the moon walk. And that's just a hard fact Jack.
But the loudest few (1%), who comically have a weird MJ view, and will pass on this thing, will cry the loudest & the longest? Now that makes little sense, when you consider the horny 99%.

He doesn't like the statue because it looks like MJ, it's really not a big deal

I said none of that and made no such connotation. You are free, however, to interpret my small comment in any way that works for you. I really don't understand all the ranting and raving you are doing over absolutely nothing. My feeling towards a portrait should not threaten your own opinion of the portrait. Love it if you love it and if others don't agree with your perception of beauty then understand that is perfectly okay. As well, I'm sure you are aware that your stated "statistics" do not actually translate to reality but I appreciate you sharing your thoughts on the matter.

I've been on the statue defending side (SS Psylocke) and collector opinions are just part of the hobby. For whatever reason folks see what they see.
I also see some Michael Jackson in the below picture. Maybe the production piece will set the story straight if not the piece.
