Sob’wa – Bust Edition is an 80 mm resin bust designed for painters who want to explore aggressive expressions, organic textures and strong directional lighting on a compact format. The sculpt focuses entirely on the rider herself, showcasing her raw energy, intense posture and layered materials. With no mount and no external elements to distract, all attention is directed toward the troll’s skin surface, facial features and the detailed leather and cloth components of her gear.

The anatomy is defined with sharp planes and deep shadow points, making it ideal for practicing high-contrast lighting and saturated or desaturated skin tones. Painters can experiment with organic gradients, rougher textures or smoother blends depending on the desired interpretation. The layered leather straps, tribal ornaments, feathers and small jewelry pieces add secondary focal points that support micro-texture, selective highlights and controlled color accents.

The overall pose retains the same aggression and forward momentum of the full figure, allowing painters to study motion and tension even without the mount. Strong rim lighting, harsh contrasts or dramatic atmosphere work extremely well on this sculpt, especially when emphasizing the expression and upper-body twist. The lack of metal also pushes the painter to focus on skin, leather and natural materials rather than reflective surfaces.

Sob’wa – Bust Edition is recommended for intermediate to advanced painters who want a compact but highly expressive project, capable of showcasing mood, lighting and texture variation in a focused display format.
