moon called, a sculpting/painting project log! FINNISHED!!!!! 24/7

[Larre]

hey everyone.. I decided that I needed to sculpt some, and I found the perfect miniature to sculpt!

the girl on the cover of the book: moon called (saw it in a si/fi book shop )

here it is

concept:

the first stage of the mini...
it\'s sculpted so far in FIMO. but the legs aren\'t quite finnished

as soon as I get my GS I will start sculpting the clothes

I hope you like it so far , I know I do

feel free to post comments, feedback and contructive critique ^^

That is not an easy subject you have picked for one of your first sculpts But challenge is good, makes you keep improving.

Looks good so far! Perhaps her biceps are a bit massive for a girl though? And where\'s her bellybutton?

 

[matty1001]

Her breasts seem a little to far up her body aswell, either that or she has an elongated midriff. I would suggest changing either one of those but try lowering the boobs first.

 

[Hygmer]

I must say; the torso looks a bit to long, thats why her brests seems to be a bit far up, cut away some just above the waist.

 

[Larre]

hi, I\'m glad you like it

I have done the base for the head, now I just need some GS to make the details...

the belly bottom.. at first it was on the belly (surpise surprise) but it where to far down, so I had to fill it and now I have to redo it

I\'m not very fond of the idea of cutting here down... although I have already cut down here bicebs quite alot

Actually, if you measure the pictures (just hold your fingers or a ruler up to your monitor) the breasts are the right distance from the groin. It\'s the distance from the top of the shoulder that\'s a bit off. She needs to have her chest lengthened. The distance on the mini from the top of the shoulder to the bottom of the breast is shorter than in the picture. I know the picture is hiding it, but everyone\'s shoulders slope down, no matter how muscular they are. Your minis shoulders almost seem to go straight across, which creates the illusion that her breasts are too far up.
Lengthen her at the shoulder and make the angle more sweeping, and I swear it will look better.

Also, measure everything like a million times.:beer:

Edit:
I just couldn\'t let a dead horse lay, so I made this pic which will illustrate one of my points...
observe.

The position of the arms look definetly wrong to me, unless she\'s doing some stretching they are way to much towards the back.
The butt dosn\'t look like it\'s shaped that well.
Legs look a bit skinny and they have a weird shape at the junction with the torso, looks liek they grow thiner before geting a bit larger. And I can\'t see the knees???
And the boobs are defninetly to close to the neck in my opinion, and unless they are made of silicon they should be sagging a bit considering their size and the fact that she dosn\'t have any bra.


Still much better then anything that I could do looking foward to the rest.

rofl, she\'s sticking her tits out!!

i agree that her arse and legs need some work as they don\'t seem to be as good as the rest of it (as you mentioned). a good start though, and no doubt better than i could do!

what scale is she in btw?

 

[Larre]

the legs and the arse aint as good as the rest for one, and only one reson... they werent finnished at the point that I posted that pic... it finnished now fyi.

rextalon@ you make an exelent point! I will fix this a.s.a.p.

and now I have my GS I ordered, so not next time... (next time I update you will see the finnished body in FIMO) but the time after that I will have made some clothes for her

[Larre]

now, as I have said I have received my GS and BS... so now I can start working with epoxy putty

so here is the update of how it looks before I dd any epoxy.

now... note that I have fixed the shoulder issue... and I have done the legs and some bulking up.

the rest is now to be made out of GS/BS

I hope you like it ^^

if there is anything you are curious about.. ask ^^

Damn straight. If you can\'t shoot farther than you aim, you better aim very high. You won\'t improve by doing just another rank and file trooper in the same style you\'ve always done.

Looks good, nice musculature. I agree with whoever it was who said the breasts are too close to the shoulder line, if you fix that I think it will look more accurate.

Is it just me, or does the area where the midriff meets the pelvis seem to protrude more than it naturally does?

[Larre]

now... she need some clothes, doesn\'t she?

please tell me what you think

// Larre

 

[freakinacage]

good stuff. i like the folds on her back. by the way is that artwork clint langley?

 

[frenchkid]

Nice, the top looks really good.

 

[Thunderhawker]

Wow...just wow. She is looking good. Keep it up.

 

[Bill]

Excellent stuff. This is even better than you last sculpt, it has a lot of finesse and it really looks like you know what you\'re doing now. Looking forward to see a great paintjob on this lady

 

[Larre]

yeah, thanks Bill

and the rest of you too, I\'m thrilled that you like it

though I can only immagine what a living hell it will be painting those tatoos xD

// Larre

 

[DaN]

Do you have/need reference pics for those tat\'s? I haven\'t heard of the book or character myself, so I don\'t know if she\'s meant to have SPECIFIC tat\'s, but you could always just do a google search, or try:

[Larre]

I\'ll try google some tatoos, couldn\'t find any fitting the sculpt...

anyway.. I have just sculpted the base for the head
