We sculpt life-size 3-dimensional clay models based on 2-dimensional images. As a result, the modeler sometimes has to make assumptions. Depending on the quality of the images, we can approximate reality. We cannot guarantee absolute similarity based on images alone. That is why we involve the client in the entire production process, so that together we support the choices made.
By showing look-alike heads in the right decor and with the right attributes, it becomes clear to every spectator who is meant. Fun fact: Even the celebrities sometimes lose their own look-alike contest. According to wikipedia, Dolly Parton has lost a ‘Dolly Parton Look-Alike Contest’.
