Marcus Aurelius skull bust

"Your three components: body, breath, mind. If you can cut your mind free of what other people do and say, of what you’ve said or done, of the things that you’re afraid will happen, the impositions of the body that contains you and the breath within, and what the whirling chaos sweeps in from outside, so that the mind is doing what’s right, accepting what happens, and speaking the truth . . . then you can spend the time you have left in tranquillity. And in kindness. And at peace with the spirit within you. " A bust of Marcus Aurelius with see-through skull. Inspired by Tested's Anatomical Cross-section model: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oClWPnCphfA Marcus Aurelius bust from MyMiniFactory: https://www.myminifactory.com/object/3d-print-bust-of-marcus-aurelius-50498 Skull model: https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/scull-geant-fix02-28fb553644a1466daca78629e617e77a Rock texture for splitting: https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/cinnabar-3ba2a810d1784d10ae3f122300eb3d66 I ordered an 50% scaled-down version of this model as a SLA print, made with FormLabs clear resin. I ordered the supports to be placed on the outside of the bust, so the two mating surfaces would not be affected by leftover supports. I sanded the models down with some light 400 grit sandpaper and painted them with basic white and bronze Acrylic paint. Glued together with CA glue.
