Akio

Jorge was approached by an artist, Kristian Williams, who had 2D drawings of a character he created, Akio. He commissioned Jorge to sculpt a near life size portrait of Akio, using only the 2D drawings.

Cast in forton with a obsidian patina and mounted on a walnut base, images of the final portrait are shown here.
