VAROOM-Sketches & Final work

I decided to work on an article “Facebook censoring a 30 000 years old Willendorf statue” and I think it would be fun to play with the censorship issue for uncovered historic statues that also faces censorship issues. With the theme “PLAY” chosen, I tried giving this statues a moment of life similar to humans! Making David the mischievous one and Venus de milo telling him to shut up. Here my sketches towards the final product!
