I had a lot of success on my bust. I am really happy with how it is turning out at the moment. I have managed to add details to it and to touch up certain parts of it.
The message in this piece is very heartbreaking. I wanted to make a piece that would touch the hearts of everyone. The history of war dogs is horrific. Once finished in war, they are left to die at the camp. They are used to set off bombs that are seen in the field and they are also shot at. Many aren't able to come back home due to no room on the helicopter. This piece was based off a true story and a movie called Megan Leavey. With her struggles of being able to take her dog home due to his label that he was "dangerous," she was unable to take the dog home with her and was forced to leave him behind. This message has such a huge impact to dog owners. The pain that people feel when losing a animals they love.
With my piece starting to become more and more realistic, I needed to make sure that my pieces created the messages I needed to portray. When you see the shows of all the animals, you never see to realize how they live. No one understand the struggles they have. In most whale and dolphin shows, they are forced to perform. They are given many drugs and even harmed in order to entertain the public. With these animals being used to the open ocean, they are confined to such small spaces which can cause many health issues. Over time, these creatures die due to the conditions they are "cared" in. This has diminished the population of these beautiful creatures.
