SCULPTING-works in progress

[mickc22]

return to Orion...

not done anything on this for a while...

..primarily looking for advice on his right arm, I think the triceps are still too small.

here\'s a closer look

and his head, I opened the mouth to make him closer to the Mark Gibbons pic from the original army book

hope these are clear enough

Bloody hell Mick, that\'s awesome! Can\'t wait to see it finished

*EDITED* The post doubled up, sorry

@mick: Looks great so far, is that the new Orion, or the older one? The link works for me. The author is Stephen Rogers Peck and the book is titled Atlas of Human Anatomy for the Artist. Hope that helps.

@marmoset: thanks been doing little bits here and there for years

@Emo:thanks, may have just been busy when I tried
it\'s the old one, well most of it is any way

Phallaciods :|~ They remind me of those scrotey giant worms in the cave scene in King Kong... lol they are very well sculpted though The ceros guy has some fingerprints on him :wow: tut tut...

That was my initial inspiration for them.

There wont be fingerprints when he is finished.


@Mick. Looking good. Face is spot on but I agree the triceps need more bulk. Also noticed the furr on the legs. Its very hard to get a smooth transition from the metal to putty. I would totally cover the metal on the legs with resculpted furr.

yeah I thought they did, the more references I\'ve been looking at, the more they were looking smaller & smaller

I was thinking about redoing the fur, I first did that about a year after he came out

...well,....you can\'t rush a good job can you lol lol

good work mick. don\'t bulk the tricep up too much though!

i am currently working on a giant. i wanted to use bits from the gw one as it is well sculpted. i just prefer bulkier giants. going to make him a chaos giant (maybe with proper hooved feet) and going to have him swinging the masonry about with both hands like a flail. i think scibor did a similar pose. intend to make him slightly disturbing with maybe extra rows of teeth and a nub-tail. he is going to have loads of scars and piercings as well as war paint and trophies:

you can\'t see it very well in the pic but he has a forked tongue (i wanted it in his mouth as it seems more subtle this way)

@Matt: thanks, it\'s now on my amazon wish list

@FIAC: Nah, just a wee bit bigger, trouble is, I keep looking at the bits I did ages ago and thinking... \"I could do a better job on that now...\"
oops! nearly forgot, giants looking good, nice smooth work

guess who is the character

ps_ living person

pps_ the right leg is longer but now it\'s partially in the hole for posing him in the pic

 

[GreenOne]

Pfff... That\'s so freaking obvious I don\'t feel like answering
Will he have the scruff beard and psychopathic expression?

 

[angus147258]

Is it a self portrait sculpt?

That\'d be cool. It\'s not very hard to imagine me as an ogre, a dwarf...

raised hand and concentrate face with scruff beard and the long gyptian dress

 

[mickc22]

.......I give up

:flip::flip::flip:
I know I know
Will you be sculpting his \"Aqualung\".

 

[Tony Manero]

lol i considered to sculpt him also sitting on a parkbench but the snot running down his nose wouldn\'t be so cool... the greasy fingerprints smearing shabby clothes are quite cool anyway lol

Go the Tull

Nice work here. Triceps are a bigger muscle than biceps, they just don\'t stick out as much.

 

[Klute]

Zombies anyone.

Loose arms to go on and the shoes to do and then some gribbliness to add.
