This stunning display features Terrell Dorfeo's "Sultry Mermaid," showcasing both the artist's original concept sketch and the highly-detailed, professionally-produced figurine. The original pencil sketch, seen on the right, is a masterclass in stylized character design. While executed in traditional graphite, the artist's technique for rendering the mermaid's features and flowing hair evokes the soft, blendable quality of cosmetic makeup application. The smoky, defined eyes and heavily-shaded hair possess a richness and texture that feels as though they were rendered with eyeshadows rather than just lead. This unique style translates seamlessly into three dimensions. The figurine on the left, created with meticulous care, is a perfect realization of Dorfeo's vision. Every detail of the sketch—from the intricate wave of the blonde hair and the purple jewel to the sparkling blue tail and the bubbles—is captured with fidelity. The painting of the figurine honors the original "eyeshadow" aesthetic: the skin tone is flawless, the eye makeup is dramatic and perfectly defined, and the hair has a soft, sculpted depth that mimics the shaded pencil work. The result is a cohesive piece where the sculpture acts as a luminous, full-color translation of the monochrome art. Original art: https://www.artwanted.com/imageview.cfm?id=116693
