K25 – EVANESCENCE – Unpainted Resin Scale Model Figure

I was lucky enough to see Evanescence live this year, and afterwards I kept thinking about the word itself. How do you capture something that’s already beginning to fade from sight or memory? I sketched a woman beside a Gothic window and explored the idea in pencil and blue washes. The sculpt holds on to one moment from those studies, just as she turns her head to look to one side.

Her hands rest lightly together at the front of her skirt, and the slight turn of her neck gives movement to an otherwise still pose. In close-up, softly arched brows and finely defined eyelids give her a composed expression. Her side-parted hair sweeps back from her forehead in broad waves, with individually sculpted strands gathering into layered curls at her jaw and nape.

The off-the-shoulder gown has a double scalloped edge that follows the neckline and dips across her upper back. Draped bands wrap the upper arms above short, textured ruffles. The fitted bodice comes to a point at the front, with a row of tiny buttons and raised seams picked out in fine stitch detail. The panel lines continue around the back, where they follow the curve of the waist.

Below the bodice, tight gathers open into long, deep folds that spread across the floor. The hem pools around her feet in a border of small ruffles and petal-like details, breaking up the outline where the dress meets the ground.

Part of Jager Hobby’s Seasonal & Special Occasion range, K25 – Evanescence is supplied as an unpainted resin figure. The broad skirt folds lend themselves to gradual shading, while the scalloped trim, buttons and curls offer fine details to pick out with a brush.
