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

[KruleBear]

Cool, but I think he needs a giant cigar :devil:

 

[bgcdazzler]

Dang, KB, you’re totally right. Probably too hard to fix now - I’d need his mouth to be partly open - but maybe I can do an addition somehow. Will have a think...

 

[bgcdazzler]

For a bit of fun, I did a Hello Kitty Grim reaper with the kids. Because why not.

I asked my daughter what to name her and she came up with (appropriately enough): ‘bye kitty’.

"Bye kitty" is the perfect name lol

 

[bgcdazzler]

I thought so too ??????

made another thing - a female bust this time. Women are difficult! (In a sculpting sense that is, not in a to-live-with sense.)

“Bye Kitty” is pretty cool.

I think the chin/lower jaw are a little too masculine it seems. If you adjust that it would come across as more feminine. But it is a a neat character as is.

 

[bgcdazzler]

Thanks KB, will adjust her with a bit of sandpaper and see if I can’t make her a bit more feminine.

in the meantime... started on this dude. And realised something I probably should have figured out ages ago - it’s a lot easier if you draw a plan for the model first! So I drew this:

The used it as a guide for the armature so he’s about 50mm tall.

progress so far (bit messy, but getting there):

Cool. I like all the rings and discs tied into his beard.

 

[gorb]

That is some super awesome sculpting! I like the rings in his beard too, and the textures all over are great.
The face is very expressive, despite being hidden behind the beard.

 

[bgcdazzler]

Thanks guys, very kind - I was worried about making his beard interesting enough rather than a mass of scratched in hair, so added braids and gubbins. Glad they work.
and I’ve finished him, pretty much:
