Evolution of An tEach Uisce

[Syntachu]

@iheartmoondancer101 It's a "water horse". I believe it's part of Irish folklore.

The artist wasn't necissarilly going for 100% accurate horse anatomy. I believe it was a "creepy" wet artistic look she was going for (as well as giving the creature a sort of "feeling" and/or "presence").... sort of like what you sometimes see in paintings. It also kind of gives a "story" to this "character". :)

If my assumption of the artists intentions are correct, she indeed did a spectacular job.

[rainnovice93]

[sumelle2]

beautiful work... what is the music you used here? I love it :)

[Lyricssify]

what is that some kind of horse?

[seonidh]

The An t-each Uisce is a Scottish water spirit that will ride a human into the water where it lives and devour them. In fact every loch is said to contain one. pobably where the legend of the loch ness monster comes from.

[Aacis]

What material you used to create the sculpture?

[NoadiArt]

It's a combination of materials but most of it is polymer clay.

[vognym]

[NoadiArt]

thanks

Ellectra while she's studying anatomy why don't you go think up an origianal screenname.

[Joon806]

I love your work! I actually looked up "Each Uisce". The mythical animal is dark and fearsome. Your sculpture reflects a strange wild essence. I'm so glad you didn't turn it into a domestic horse with a seaweed mane and tail!

[ellectra13]

my honest opinion, as a fellow artist, I really think that you should study the animal's correct anatomy. I love your other work though :)

[NoadiArt]

I did study the correct anatomy, then I messed with it.

[ellectra13]

ok then, my bad. Excuse me.

[ManesNTales]

@NoadiArt lol, thats so awsome!

[lisduggan64]

Why? Is it a choice a preson makes....tell the African and other "ethnic" artists who make wonderful sculptures and art their anatomy is off.....don't be so "western" in your approach., I agree a knowledge of anatomy or "rules" as we perceive them in the west is no bad thing but there are many disciplines and pproaches. Live and let live....

[TheSKYizFalling]

@lisduggan64 Hey, I'm almost certain that your comment wasn't meant to be offensive but...are you saying that 'ethnic' artist are not as dilligent in perfecting the anatomy of their sculptures as their 'white' western counterparts? You should check out shona art, faces and figures carved from stone that appear so realistic it would take ur breath away.

[lisduggan64]

@TheSKYizFalling I think you took me up wrong....what I am saying is that before Western influences and their obsession with replicating realism reached artists from around the world other cultures enjoyed representing the world they way they saw it. Of course people of all colours and creeds can create super realistic work in all mediums - that is not in question - look at what is done in China and India today - what I meant in my orig message was the criticism of anatomy is relative....

[TheSKYizFalling]

@lisduggan64 Thank-you for responding so quickly as well a going deeper into the meaning of your post. It's appreciated.

[lisduggan64]

@TheSKYizFalling no prob. Check out what happened to Balinese painting after the Dutch introduced perspective as a concept in the 1920's and how abstract and illustrative Celtic Irish Art was destroyed by repeated invasion from 800 to 1600AD and then came back as pseudo-Continental Baroque wannabe stuff before Orpen and the Yeats brothers saved it in the 19th Century, Other indigenous peoples saw their view of the world ransacked by Europeans in Expressionism and so on. It's all a point of view!

[ebenbrooks]

It's a kelpie! Wow! It didn't hit me until I saw the close up of the mane and tail: seaweed!

Excellent!

[jpixart]

What started out looking like a "horse" ended up looking like a creative piece of art, a wild animal...very unique. Love the music too.

[scenceable]

this is beautiful!

[LoveWiena]

great 'evolution' and I really enjoyed the music....who is the artist and album??? thank you. The only problem I had was reading your explanations, they faded away too quickly....will have to watch several times......and listen to the music!!!

Thank you so much. I'm sorry about the titles, I just rewatched the video and I didn't realize quite how fast they go by. I've got a mic for my computer now so I don't need to put those in anymore. The song is Cuach mo Lon Dubh Bui by Altan from their album The Blue Idol. I'm a big Altan fan, their music is just gorgeous.

[debrawagnercio]

Thank You you are an inspiration for me , very talented!!!

[mmecharlotte]

That's amazing, you're such an inspiration. Great job on such a beautiful creature.
