Oenomaus - "Doctore" /Movie Spartacus

Sculptured with polymer clay

This is my interpretation of

DOCTORE (Oenomaus) - played by Peter Mensah in "Spartacus"

This sculpture was made without any molds over a strong wire armature and made with lots of devotion and fantasy. I didn´t  stop sculpturing until I was totaly satisfied and took high attention to his face. It took me lots of weeks to complete the whole project. I emphasized him masculine, with a "make or break" expression in his face.

Some parts of his body or clothes were slightly covered with mud and dust, like the real gladiators, when they are fighting. His eyes were sculpted and painted directly in the face (no print).

I only use finest materials for painting and sealing (genesis). His hair is made of finest fur and styled to look sweaty. His his clothes are completely made by myself. They are made of fine leather and linen with special technique to get a used look.

My intention is NOT to create a"Barbie or Ken".  My dolls have such as veins, spots, skintexture, little scarvs, wounds and some hair on its biological places. Of course, they are anatomically correct. They have charisma and an unique expression. It can´t be fully displayed in the pics, even when i used different lights, views and ankles.
I decided to create something to have a cool wall decoration. So it was a real challenge to create that door and torches with that ancient look.

! The little torches have a real flickering effect !

They work with flat batteries, which you can always change. I will sell Doctore with the wallhanging AND with the platform! So you can decide, how you like him best. I made the picture with a colored background, so you see how interesting it looks on colored walls.

Doctore comes with the platform AND the wall decoration.

If you like you can place him without any platform, but i recommend to use the platform for a good stability.

No matter how you like to arrange him, both looks decorative and natural.
