Celeborn

This one made it into the finals in LOTR, UK Golden demon '05 I tried to capture the details of a historical 54mm face into this lotr model. i'm pretty satisfied with the result and I think I got a pretty decent Lothlorien atmosphere. I'm not as satisfied with some other aspects of it. But I had a huge painters block and I never became satisfied.. I just repainted.. and repainted. :) Since I was in England I have yet again repainted some parts like the eyes (I'm not sure the sculpt is even suppose to have eyes.. definately the toughest eyes I've done) and I've also added some contrast but unfortunately due to a "matt varnish" incident it is too shiny to photograph well. I will post new ones when I get testors. If you wonder about the subtle beard effect it is due to the fact that I wanted him to remind of the actor that plays Celeborn in the movies. Oh. and congrats to the winners in this really tough category. All the best, Sven

Love the colour scheme which is superbly well executed. Considered giving it 5 because of the ridiculous stubble on his chin but settled for 10 because of the magnificantly anguished expression you managed to create on his face!

You've managed to also capture that 'sluggish drugged' look that the actor had as well. This is really a fantastic piece. Its amazing how much you put into the face.

Really, really amazing. An incredible face, I picked up on the "beard effect" right away, and the face overall is incredibly lifelike and full of character.
