Zbrush sculpting. Odalisques are known as sex slaves of harem of sultan. It can be said that is mistaken notion of European perception. But historically, they were rather a chambermaids, a female attendants in a seraglio or a court ladies. The European artist was very much attracted by the image of odalisque. It's almost mythological image assosiated with beauty oriantal women, oriental dances, harem and sex slavery. Maybe one of the best known examples in this art genre is the Grande Odalisque, also known as Une Odalisque or La Grande Odalisque by Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres and Odalisque by Eugene Delacroix.
And certainly Odalisque by Henri Matisse (Reclining Odalisque, Odalisque with raised arms, Odalisque with Tambourine, Seated Odalisque and so on). I'd also inspirited by Frank Frazetta art and his expressive lines, shapes and movements of the figures. He was an American fantasy and science fiction artist and created incredible artworks: his style is very recognizable )) My Odalisque is a continuation of Hyborian age theme )) Odalisque is a Hyborian woman full of sexuality and barbarian energy ))
