So one of the half a dozen heads lying on my worktable is intended to be my twin characters (hence Two! /is shot/ ) With his table companions, Bird/tiny and Zeev/wolf In a DIM 47cm (?) body for proportion/comparison Now with some real primer, but still a lot of work to be done: What do you guys think? I'm going to need some serious bevelling in his eyewells Y_Y sadly they're frail and I'll probably need to redo them
@du-hast, you ask I shall deliver in time! Do the same with your projects >:C Two has been quite neglected lately Oops <_>" :confused: And his spotlight as the only MSD project got stolen by Bullseye (I'll just index him with this tag to avoid my spam on the forum...) I'm quite taken by both the third eye and the possibility of a horn! Brothers in Progress
I like the idea of being able to choose between an eye and a horn Both heads have character, that's nice
love your noses. ALL OF THEM! the eye/ horn idea is fantastic! I love all your designs and cannot wait to see them all smoothed out and handsome!
Aww thank you guys. @hlbmlp , Ive been trying hard to come out of the "bishie handsome and kind of common" kind of nose since my drawings, so it's great to see it's working. @Earill I was quite taken by the idea of the horn as well. Get one in a magnet and you can have a 1 horned Oni, 2 and a traditional oni, or a unicorn-style if you'd rather have it on the eye socket! Gah I just love multiple options like this, it's even a little ridiculous. His ears are finally remotely symmetrical! I also fixed his eyes/nose ridge. After this picture I worked more on his lips too. Symmetry...
@Cleave ;w; I'm happy you think so Oh boy I've been tweaking both of them, switching between Two and Bullseye the whole past week but feels like I'm stuck (even though I'm not) I guess it's just slow process being a bit frustrating The small change in his eye shape made a world's difference! Still a tad off center, but we'll get there
x I think I'm mostly done fixing the lips, Oh goodness I hope so And let's play "if I had a penny for everytime I start a new project without finishing the others..."
I've nicknamed Elf dude Evergreen, he's supposedly the older version of my Afi's character, but...... there's not much ressemblance in style
Craptastic pictures Also I am a project hoarder and some time back, I made out the basic shape of this body, it still needs a lot of work (the chest looks too flat in the front), but boy, am I excited
Oh shit, you go fast as lightning! Haha. I love Two's high nose bridge and the way you shape upper eyelids. They bring a very strong mood to the heads! What type of body are you going for?
Nah, I feel slow as hell >_< Thank you! He's designed to be a slim but not absurdly thin youth around 48-50cm, kind of like an in between the average MSD and the 50cm dolls like Souldoll Vito
I love how rough and sort of crude your initial sculpts look (I mean this in a good way I swear!), the texture of the clay and how there's the suggestion of the shapes without the detail... and how amazingly well you refine those rough shapes into something beautiful, but how you can still see the original sculpt in them. Maybe it's the clay you use, or the techniques, or a combination of the two, but I really, really love how you start out with sort of muddy blobby looking stuff and BAM there's these beautiful faces and body parts. Makes me think of creation myths of bodies made of dirt and clay somehow. ...don't mind me, I'm a weirdo who keeps peeking in this thread and thinking of you like a minor god scraping clay from a riverbed and forming beautiful creatures from it.
HystericalP. Youre fine. (and too kind) It's something refreshing to hear, actually. Reminds me of art school all over the place? Haha I use epoxy so it's a rough combination of shaving, carving and adding clay, that might be why you get this overal feeling. T-thank you. (I actually look back at my pictures a lot to try and keep tabs on the direction I'm heading, so it's good to hear they seem to follow the line I intend them to)
Keeping tabs on so many projects is quite confusing but anyway lets get back to it. After charging my batteries I'm back Two has been majorly pissing me off. I fixed all the symmetry (including the eye difference still in these pictures) So what's left is the last tweaks on his nose and lips? Do I even dare say last? I hope so. I've been aching to finish this guy since Zeev was done but GOD damn it. Bullseye is in a similar stage. The "there's so much to fix where do I go first" Evergreen is still pretty crude in general. His eyes are gonna change. and hes gonna have teeth probably They look so diverse and good together. It's like three different tribes decided to hang around imo
Ugh not much progressed since I didn't really stop to focus in one of these guys, Two is under some serious reshaping until I'm finally content with his lips. Bullseye changed a bit The tips of the ears are gonna change because the rounded end isn't doing the trick for me + hes got a fancy little carving inside his headcap welp back to work
Oh Goodness am I back in track? I think so. I was starting to fall out of love with this guy because his lips were all wrong at some point. I can't decide if I'd rather have his eyes wider or narrow either
I love his strong eyebrows and big ears < 3 and the way you sculpted the eyelids, and the bump in his nose. He´s such a character already!
