The Living Works of Art Challenge II - Female Body Edition

I don’t think I did much more than lurk here originally as the suggestions were often a little more exposing than I was comfortable with - so I am selfishly reviving with the sort of pose I might manage pull off... then it can revert to the gorgeous bodies that better suit classical art, :kiss:

By the way - there’s a gents gallery... hint hint...

Oh I know they were quite exposing and there were some very challenging poses as well, I did do some in the gents thread in the early days of it.

*goes for a look see... 💋

Be careful to not get caught in the stampede now also heading off to look at your ermmm... challenging poses... :D
 
Your white marble figure

Had a 10" Parian figure of a slave girl with ankle chain, my son's girl friend managed to smash it beyond repair when they were home alone, don't know what they were up to, but she never returned to apologize. My wife bought me a biscuit figure, but nothing like the beauty of the original. Don't want to sound petty, but I was glad she married another guy.

Great idea! I believe I’ll devote some of my rainy Friday to this project.

What a treat to revisit this thread. I remember it being so important in my life, and was surprised to see my involvement was just a couple of months [and 30 pages — HA!]. Big cheer to JRP if he’s still about, and thank you, AP, for bringing the thread back to life, and for a lovely statue to interpret.

I look forward to seeing what happens...

It's encouraging to see another Lit lady who is enthusiastic in regards to this thread. Will we be treated to your contribution(s)? :)

Well, I’ve pitched about 40 attempts so far. Turns out there’s a lot to get wrong — from the weight distribution to the shoulders to the drapery. Try try again...

Good to know I’m not the only one struggling ;). Thanks for keeping me company here, can’t wait to see your contribution :heart:

Your efforts are greatly appreciated by all us art admirers. :rose:;)
 
I’ve been waiting for AlliaPotestas to post hers first, since the thread revival is her idea.
 
The problem is my attempt is so shockingly bad, I was going to wait and have another go when next in a hotel room but if it gets gorgeous Mara sharing hers, here you go...

I am blaming it partly on the fact I was using the same device to take the pic and check the pose... the sheet isn’t right... my pose isn’t right... my arm didn’t loop gracefully under my tit because the tit is too big and the arm is too short... I will try harder...

Ladies, when this thread first began I attempted a few of the poses and NEVER could get it right. One attempt leaving me in tears! HA!

I applaud you for trying! :kiss::kiss:

We are so hard on ourselves, aren't we? I think it's lovely!! :heart:

I think everything about the pose, photography and props is exactly right and you did an exceptionally good job. It's a very good rendition of vintage erotica and very sexy. Also bear in mind that your a beautifully full figured buxom beauty and the original model isn't. So your pose is an absolute perfect rendition utilizing excellent artistic license. :rose::heart: I really like everything about your posted pic.

I think it's lovely AP! These poses with draping fabric are extremely difficult to get right. Kudos for getting close to the original because I can relate to wanting to hurl my camera across the room trying to get one of these poses right.

I love it!!!!!!! :heart::heart::heart::rose:

Totally agree with other posters, it’s a great shot!! Well done.

From previous challenges on the men’s thread I know how hard and frustrating they can be so applaud any attempt at all. 💋💋💋

I doubt that the pose could be copied exactly, too many variables.

Bloody good try, and not bad at all.

Elegant juxtaposition and use of lighting.:rose:

You guys know how to stroke a girls ego - thanks lovelies, I’ll still try and do a proper one because it’ll niggle me, :heart:

Beautiful, Allia! It’s deceptively difficult, right? I think your interpretation is lovely. Early on, those of us accepting the challenges quickly began referring to our efforts as interpretations of the pose, rather than replications. That helps. As does a separate device for looking at the pose. And an eventual attitude of “Fuck it — good enough.” I’m also a perfectionist, and it takes a good bit of time and effort before I’m willling to adopt the attitude. I think when we were trying a pose a week, it became easier to get playful with it. I didn’t reach playful this time. Just frustrated, but determined.

Your shoulders are lovely in this photo, and communicate a sense of vulnerability that I thought was the heart of the pose. Brava!

Ladies, when this thread first began I attempted a few of the poses and NEVER could get it right. One attempt leaving me in tears! HA!

I applaud you for trying! :kiss::kiss:

Thanks for chiming in here, Kim.
A good part of the fun initially was that we talked about what went on behind the scenes in our attempts.

I gave up on this project twice, tidied away all my backdrops and draperies, then dragged it all out a second and third time to try again. By the third time, I was reciting a litany of left shoulder higher, left arm under and up, right arm wrapped, weight on forward right foot. I always have to figure out a pose’s weight distribution before I can do anything.
