The extreme angles and exaggerated bodies come from the Baroque and Mannerist painting she loves. Above all, she renders the folded belly, the ample body, the things always smoothed away, without hiding a single bit of it. Her Instagram is filled with figures whose arms stretch far beyond proportion, skin that glows blue, women in bold poses. What does a body with attitude look like to you?
FAQ
How does Foy approach 3D art creation?
Foy uses a hybrid method mixing 3D sculpting and digital illustration, first shaping forms in the computer then layering colors and light by hand. Drawing inspiration from Baroque and Mannerist painting, she expresses extreme angles and exaggerated bodies.
Why does Foy describe her characters as women with attitude?
Foy says anxiety and depression long prevented her from being herself. Her characters embody the strength and attitude she aspires to in life—extensions of emotion, muses, and friend-like beings through which she expresses who she wants to become.
What makes Foy's approach to depicting bodies special?
Foy doesn't hide belly folds or generous body types traditionally smoothed away, displaying them openly. While using plastic-smooth skin, exaggerated bodies, and extreme angles, revealing diverse real-world bodies as they are defines her work's character.
