Wow! Haha, I alway's thought it was very hard to do details like that! It realy allows the artist to allow their imaginations and stories come alive and be felt by others! I love that characteristic that some artists can achieve with clay, or sculptors in general!
I would love to see that sculptor that the female you're talking about, did! It sounds pretty cool to see in person!
Congrats to being able to make your imagination come alive!
