Posing sculpts at different angles and with different lighting can sometimes inspire ideas about how to finish an image. I saw a kind of spookiness with this tiki. I actually experimented with different ideas of color, contrast, and texture looking for the perfect mood. Things transitioned from first brown and then purple and finally some deep reds. Each addition of color and texture with more and more contrast began to swallow the tiki into an abstract world. In the end the tiki became a ghost image floating in a fantasy fire texture. Can you believe that is the way I imagined it?
