🎨 Adding organic layers to “Plant Medusa.”
Moss and color powder are applied to the surface,
blending the sculpture into a more natural, living presence. 🌿

🌿 Adding small carnivorous plants onto the wire “hair.”
I place each one as if it grew there naturally, not just for decoration.
Quiet, a little unsettling — that “living presence” is what I’m chasing.

The making of my “Plant Medusa.”
Shaping the wire to find the flow and movement.
Small bends decide the entire expression.

Painting stage of “Plant Medusa.”

Layer by layer,
I aimed for the feeling of aged wood and moss —
as if time itself colored her surface.

Quiet, natural, and heavy with history. 🌱

Painted sculpture of “Plant Medusa,” showing layered earthy tones and mossy textures. The surface resembles aged wood and stone, with subtle color variations that create a weathered, organic appearance.

Inking process of “Plant Medusa.

Dark washes flow into the carved grooves,
revealing depth, shadows, and the true structure beneath the surface.
This step defines the form before color brings it fully to life.

🎨 Base painting of “Plant Medusa.”
Soft tones and gradients settle into the bark texture, giving the form its first sense of life.
Next, I’ll add moss and color powder to build the depth.

#sculpture #creaturedesign #artprocess #medusa #artist
Base painting process of the sculpture “Plant Medusa.” The surface shows layered brushwork that settles into the carved wood-like texture, creating the first sense of organic depth. Subtle gradients of warm and cool tones define the bark structure while keeping the natural irregularities. This stage sets the foundation for the following layers—moss, preserved plants, and color powder—which will add realism, age, and the feeling of a creature grown within the forest. Hands and tools in the frame show the scale and craftsmanship behind the piece.

The expression is finally taking shape — organic, calm, and quietly powerful.
From here, the paint will bring her to life.

The form is now set, and the character finally begins to feel alive.

Sculpting the late stage of my “Plant Medusa.”
The silhouette and movement are now locked in — the character finally starts to breathe.

#sculpture #sculpting #creaturedesign #fantasyart #medusa
Clay sculpting of “Plant Medusa” in the late stage. The silhouette is mostly established, and the posture, gesture, and flow of the upper body are being refined. Wood-like textures and vine forms are beginning to wrap around the anatomy, following the natural muscle structure. Serpent shapes are temporarily placed to evaluate the balance of the head silhouette. The sculpture is still rough, but the presence and personality of the character are becoming clear.

With Netflix’s Frankenstein approaching,
I’d like to reintroduce my own vision of the creature —
one I’ve imagined long before,
born from nature and imperfection.

Life, death, and rebirth.
My interpretation of Frankenstein.
