Hi

Seem to be into sculpting all of a sudden!



still a WIP - started off as a practice but want to turn him into something....
Still areas to be carved away, added, cleaned etc........

Comments welcomed!!

Also - what could he become?

Rob

Ain't it funny how that happens? :lol:

Proportion and anatomy seem good, I know it's early stages but watch the length of the jawline and I'd pare down the top of the cranium a tad.

The face looks a little like one of the batch I'm working on at the moment actually! Two things I might suggest, first is a bit more definition on the upper eyelids - they're very important for 'expression' around the eyes - because he has a shelving brow you'll probably want to just suggest the eyelid itself at the outside corners but it depends a bit on what age you want him to be, the younger he is the less fleshy he's likely to be around the eyes. Second thing is the upper lip, just a bit more of the actual lip tissue perhaps? This would have the added benefit of closing the mouth somewhat, making for a very natural 'just open' mouth.

Einion

I know him from somewhere

Great sculpt dood looking forward to seeing it after Einions suggestions.

Robin

Looks like we have ANOTHER 'difficult' character in the making!

Great to see that the expression is already well set at this early stage. Like Einion, I find nothing to say about the proportions.

Adding the ears ( at least the shape) at this stage would give you a clearer picture of the sculpt and would be a great help to define what's right and what's wrong.



Q.

Cheers guys......

Einion; thanks for those comments - well spotted on the upper eyelids. for a while I thought I wouldn't do them, but as you noticed.........
Will also do some further lip work.

Robin; cheers.......will try to do some more tonight - will do the old MS in the freezer trick

Quang; yep - this seems to be my default face! He is quite similar to the smale scale one I did; keep intending to sculpt a face from a reference (I'll save that for my Galadriel - more on that later........). I will endeavour to pace some ears........

now where's Gordy's article

Looking good Rob,

Looking forward to seeing it develope

I tip my hat to all you sculptors of the Planet, what a wonderful gift you have; to be able to create something out of putty is fantastic.

Cheers
