Juva, 1883
It is pretty hard to say it was fun as the theme/topic of this figure really makes me very sad. I got myself into reading a lot about the injustice that happened to the continent of Africa and no need to say it: still is on today. By reading a history magazin which explained the so far known depths of african culture and early history I really found myself stuck deep in a topic which ... ya, I got no words for what I feel about it, but I read on and discovered and learned a lot for myself. That is why I took the chance to put those feelings into a miniature to try to explain. The lowest photo gives a little insight in the conversion work. A full step by step article about the conversion and how I tackled such dark skin, which made me happy for the first time will follow soon in the Massive Voodoo jungle.
