bgcdazzler's first ever mini WIP (a confusion of cockups and learnings)

[bgcdazzler]

That's really useful WGS, thanks. I think you're right. Sigh, guess I'll have to cut off her face and do another one...

 

[wargamesculptor]

If it's cooked already save it for a future project. It happens to us all I had one that took six attempts until I was happy

 

[ArchArad]

I think that the head and/or face is slightly too large for the body. In figure drawing an adult female body is 7-8 heads in length. So maybe you could work from there.

I also thought I'd include some cool steampunk outfit ideas for you:

I think they're cool - I hope you like them.

Cut her head off gently and make a new one. No point wasting it.

I remember this...great sculpt ,great paint job= great diorama....love,y tutorial on resin liquid.

btw bedazzler loving absolutely love in that scratch sculpt and the painting is not letting it down....both the sculpt and the painting are showing how much talent really is going into each of those. Wonderful job.

 

[Schwarz-Brot]

damn, that face was my favourite part of her. That sick little freaky smile I like so much...

Where did you find those reference pics arch? Great place for clothing style into the steam punk world. Also wgs, thanks for sharing that head diagram.

I just did a Google image search for "female steampunk costume".

 

[Digganob]

Ahh that crazy Google thing every one keeps talking about

 

[bgcdazzler]

The Google-fu is strong in that one.

My rough attept to save her - cut down the chin and shaped it, plus added some blobs to sort of mark out her hair, plus the full width of the shoulders. Does this work everyone, or do I chop her head off Queen of Hearts style?

 

[Digganob]

View attachment 45377I'm not saying it's bad, it's just not working on that body in my opinion. I do like the hair placement though.

 

[ArchArad]

I second Digga's opinion. And I reiterate: there is nothing wrong with the head, it's just not quite right for this body.

 

[Sicks]

Yea like others have said, it looks too big unfortunately, maybe you could save it to use on a bust, the other option would be enlarge her body but that would probably mess the proportions up

 

[bgcdazzler]

Thanks all. I kinda knew it.

To confirm, the big face is gone (sob). Ah well: onwards we go!

 

[KruleBear]

If you still have the face it would work for a pygmie type mini.

 

[ArchArad]

*waves pom-poms and cheers for bgcdazzler*

 

[bgcdazzler]

I think Ihave a really disgusting idea of what to do with the big face; but time's marching on so I'd better finish this little lady first so I can paint her!

 

[wargamesculptor]

New head size looks good in proportion to the body

 

[bgcdazzler]

She has a new face!

 

[Sicks]

I think this looks much better scale wise, looking forward to seeing the progress
