Tombstone Angel

[nacho_riesco]

Hi all! This is one of my latest commissions related to cnc stone milling, it will be used as a tombstone decoration, approx 1,30m high.
Reliefs are tricky due to the restrictions of the CNC carving, machine can give around 70% of the sculpt so the milling artist needs to refine by hand, all lost volumes and details using the 3d file as reference using high handcraft skills.
Will post images of the milled stone as soon as I get them…
Hope you like it!
