NEW green WIP

[SIGIL]

OK so after all the feedback that I recieved from my last posted WIP I went back to putty board for a fresh start. I paid more attention to the scale of his overall anatomy and I THINK I have achieved a better balance. He will get some more details, armor, weapons, a sheild, trinkets, etc... but this is him so far. Any crits?

 

[Drake Farstrider]

Looking good SIGIL. Are you going to have this cast?

One thing that I noticed is that his legs appear a little to short. although that could be my mind playing tricks on me.

 

[UncleHex]

Stunning!

My only advice? Keep sculpting man! The more you do, the better you get...that\'s how it works.

 

[SIGIL]

Thanks guys.

I have not yet contacted a caster, but I am certainly interested in having it cast, at an affordable rate.

Hi,

Good work but I think my comment of the last time still stand: try to exagerate sharpness of details and check the anatomy. I still have the feeling the legs are short.

Otherwise: good face and excellent drapery.

No reaction from that caster I mentioned yet. Wonder when he gets online again.

Bye, Ming-Hua

Yeah I think you are getting better with everyone, but I agree with minimaker, longer legs and sharper details.

Still light years better than anything I could do

 

[Torath]

looks great, got to agree the legs are a bit short. But still worth getting casted!! keep up the great work looking foward to your next wip pic :bouncy:

 

[SIGIL]

Thanks everyone. Yeah the legs ARE a bit short. I could not see it until you guys pointed it out and I made an extra effort to look at the pics more objectively.... Hmmmm I dislike chopping my models... Oh well. Back to the putty.

And not to dodge critism, but the details really are much sharper than what my scanner is able to pick up on. I don\'t know what it is, maybe the light reflecting off the surface of the green. That shine really obscured a lot of the details of the fig. There are teeny tiny stitches on the kilt and boots that you can barely even see in these pics... Ah well.

 

[Frustrated Father]

Well, everyone already got to you on this one, but sharper details, longer legs and if I missed them I\'m sorry, but nipples. Hey, we\'ve all got them.

 

[supervike]

looking very good.

I agree with what the others say about the anatomy, but the one thing I\'d like to mention is the \"pose\".

Maybe when the armaments are added it will balance out, but it seems to me that his \'center of gravity\' is much too far forward and it gives an awkward feel to it.

That being said, I\'d like to commend the organic look to his muscles and his head. It all looks very naturalistic. You are well on your way to becoming an incredible sculptor.

thats looking friggin hot, the detail on the face is great and the realism is striking! lovely pose but i have to agree that the lower half appears to be a bit \"overwhelmed\" bit the upper half
anyway great stuff!

 

[Capt spalding]

very nice, a good clean start

if i may be so bold a few pointers.

The bicep is a little oversized compared to the tricep, which is infact the larger of the two muscles. With an elbow in place the lower arm might look a little disjointed

I dont think that the legs are too short, more that the diaphram is too low and wide and the belt is also slung a little low, raising the belt and adding a little to the outer thigh area migh help sort that out without having to amputate the legs, the knee seems to be in the right place

finally the small of the back/arse area could do with a little tweaking. If you could bring the base of the spine in about 1-2mm and add a little to the arse it would gice a more dynamic line to the figure

please dont take these comments as negative, you are obviously talented and I know how hard it can be to develop technique without the odd critique
