Sculpture modeled after the pictures below

Hi Diana,
Its my happiness to serve every client who seek my artistic service to the best I can.

Though the sculpture comprises double images that require careful detailing in terms of proportionate moving parts in the composition to meet the standard quality work, I also find it important to consider your purchasing power.

I hope this reduction meets your intended price bracket, and therefore look forward into serving you.

Hi Diana,
Working time reduced down because I already found ready material, and therefore time supposed to be spent in looking for the material was subtracted.

Decision for futher price reduction was arrived upon the spirit to provide affordable service .

I look forward into delivering your work within the stipulated time.

Hi Diana,
am still working on the faces and will post photos by the weekend.

I will check more photos of your master as you directed.

However, the price of portraits are higher than a general image of an Artwork and may require addition.

At first I only focused on the general image of Taekwondo action because you forgotten to emphasize on actual portrait of a person.

I will post photos at the weekend after finalizing the facial detailing.

thank you for facilitation of more photos.

Naftal.

yes I needed additional photos especially the 3 sides of his face.

unfortunately I didn't find the in the link you provided.

I have been using the only one you provided originally, and will post the photo tomorrow because my phone has failed to upload.

but there will be additional amount to be added to agreed price for portrait work.

Hi Diana,
am still working on the fine details of the changes for the portrait. However, I didn't find any other important photo in the link you provided yet.
Am still using the original photo, and work will be finished on 28th April. I have uploaded new photos showing the work changes in progress.

Normally, portraits prices go twice the price of ordinary figures. But for now, you will add only ksh 18,000.
I will post the final photos when am done.

Thank you.

Hi Diana,

sorry to discover that my recent response to you in this message did not go through.

I said don't worry about the additional money needed as a cost of capturing specifications of the image of your interest.

Sometimes we decide to shelf monetary values in Art and embark on the need to showcase talent rather than seeking value for Art, because one time the same client may return for another work with a better price or bring a friend for an Art service.

I decided as I did from the beginning that I will accept to take what you're able to provide for the work.

What I want now is 3 close taken photos of your master to enable me see clearly how he looks like.

just close photos of his face.

Hi Diana,
thanks for your response.

Yes I looked at the links you provided but didn't find any picture with clear facial exposer of the subject person.

it's better if you can find even two photos clearly showing the central face and one side view to capture his image correctly.

Naftal.

Hi Diana,
Thanks for the two pictures but I need the frontal face that is naturally calm without that big smile.

The smiling face does not allow me to capture his true mouth and does not go well with the action theme either.

But the side view one is ok even though I still need the right central face that is naturally calm without that big smile.

Thank you.

Hi Diana,
Sorry for delaying my response.

I did receive the additional photos you sent, and I have been studying them due to varying differences in them.

The first 2 photos you sent at the beginning are completely different from this additional photos.

That is why I didn't recognize them in the links you posted recently.

Age difference in the photos is perhaps reason.

I really wanted a calm quiet frontal face without such a wider smile.

However, I have already started working on what's available right now and will be able to update in 3 days time.

I started a fresh because the photos you sent are completely different from the original photos.

Hi Diana,
Yes I received them all but I meant that the first one in white showing the action in the first two photos you sent at the beginning was taken when he was much younger.

Work is on even though I really wanted him in a calm front face without such a big smile.

I will send you photos in 2 days time.

thank you.

yes I saw the 6 photos you sent several weeks ago. My machine developed a problem, but I just received it back today.
Let me work on the given photos will get back with well worked image.

Sorry that it has taken time than was expected due to photos and machine issues. But will work it out well.

Naftal

Hi Diana,
Sorry I have been sick for some time not been able to work till 3days ago when I felt recovering back to work.

The sculpture was at its rough sketch process when I stopped, but I have started working on fine details prior to start finishing.

I will post more photos in 7 days time.

Sorry for the delay.

Naftal

Hi Diana,

sorry I had eye problem which has taken time than I though was a small issue.

please see the photos as I embark on finishing details and then polishing to send you final full photos in 5 days time.

Naftal.

Dear Diana,

Sorry it has been a while sending my communication here.

Sorry the work has delayed than was expected, but this is due to a problem I developed with eyes.

I thought was a small issue that could go quickly, but unfortunately found it recurring.

Checked a doctor and will finalize with him to continue working to finish the piece.

I will communicate in a week's time to give you actual update of the piece.

Please bear with me and I promise to present a nice finished work.

Naftal.

Hi Diana,

Sorry for delaying in this particular work which was caused by my eye problems especially for small size pieces.

However, have been undergoing medical check which I hope will regain back soon.

I would like to get you clearly on whether you want to change from actual burst of a real image of your master in realistic form into Abstract form for both the two figures.

If that is the way you want it changed into Abstract faces, I will do it in a best way too because am specialized in Abstract forms as well.

Let me know if that is what you mean.

Thank you.

Naftal

Dear Diana,

sorry for the delay,.
The few photos i have posted are of the changed faces into semi abstract forms without definite bust.
however, am posting the final ones tomorrow after polishing the sculpture to bring out the clear colors of the material.

The pieces is at finishing stages with only polishing remaining to be done fully in 3 days time and will post the final photos immediately prior to submission..

Naftal

Hi Diana,
Here I present photos of the piece ready for submission.
Once again, sorry for the delay.

Naftal.

Hi Diana,
Sorry I left Nairobi to take part in an international sculpture symposium taking place 600km away from Nairobi where I was invited as a participant.

Network communications from the symposium site is very low to extentI rarely access the web for communication.

However am set to return Nairobi on 10th next month to proceed with the submission of the sculpture.

No I just reworked on the same heads whipping out the realistic details to achieve the semi abstract nature of the facial features.

However, if you need me change the heads I will still do it immediately am back in Nairobi.

I left the sculpture back in Nairobi.

Naftal.

Dear Diana,

Yes am travelling back to Nairobi tomorrow night and will be in Nairobi the following day on Tuesday.

I will submit the work for transportation.

Am really sorry for the delay which has never happened in my work before.

Thank you.

Naftal

Dear Diana,
Please find above photos of the finished sculpture that am submitting for delivery to you through Urban Change Lab.

I wait to hear from you.
Thank you

Naftal.
