Okay... So still slowly working on a couple of sculpting bits for fun and practice.. currently the main one is my 'Life Subtractor' (the name is a direct reference to something). I want to cast this up in resin or metal whatever cause for one thing, I like doing that. The other thing is my plan is the figure will be a 3 parter. The Body, the Head and the Hands (holding weapon). I've been toying on the head right now and after a few failed head sculpts, I made an okay one which I cause up in resin so I could try a few helmet designs without screwing up the whole thing.. well.. the helmet isn't perfect.. to get the helmet 'horns' I also did a quick and dirty cast by sculpting one, making a mold, and casting it.. However.. well.. I don't think they are quite right and really highlight how lopsided the helmet is.
The main problem then came when I decided to use some blu-tack to test fit the head.. Okay.. "officially" this guy is an Ogre as technically, the character I'm basing on is described as being from a race of giants (it gets VERY complex) yet while he is big, he isn't THAT big.. so Ogre appeared about right. but this head... I don't know if its because of the helmet 'horns' or what but.. it just looks... off to me..
So my options were to carry on and tweak the horns, making them a bit smaller, OR just redoing the whole head again.. I'm not sure.. So I thought to ask what other people might think ^_^
this is still a work in progress, there are some bits of clean up and maybe tweaking I want to do, but I'm kinda happy with the base body. but anyway.. a slightly overlight photo of it with a ruler to see what people think about that head..
Really, being that over blown doesn't help but you can kinda see the head size. From the feet to about the neck is a bit closer to 35mm then this seams to show.. odd that... and the head to the top of the helmet (not counting horns or ridge is probably 14mm.
