The haootia quadriformis sculpture is finished. To recap for the benefit of any readers who haven’t read my previous blog posts, haootia quadriformis is a small marine animal similar to (and likely related to) modern jellyfish, which lived 560 million years ago during the Ediacaran period.
Ediacaran life forms are very interesting to me as a sculptor because they’re just so weird. Haootia is actually one of the less strange ones, but it still makes for an interesting sculpture.

As I said yesterday I did retouch some of the paint. I didn't change it very much though, just evened out the colours a bit.
Here it is from the side. You can see the haootia's body projecting slightly from the surface of the background, however you can't see the whole body. Haootia had a little stalk and a disc shaped foot, which is not shown in this sculpture.

I decided against varnishing it, even with matte varnish, because any varnish would change the sculpture's texture and I like the texture as it is.
