Yes! There is a chance.Just waiting for some feedback from Vikki.
I think Sarah Jane turned out well so far as you'll see shortly. I did a lot of revision back and forth trying to capture the subtlety of the shape of her face. Always more difficult to sculpt a young smooth face. The smallest error can ruin the likeness.
(ducks)
Why do you have her dressed like a total hussy, Chris? That's not what I sent you!
OK! Here is a first look at the Sarah Jane Smith head sculpt, displayed on a body graciously provided by William Shatners Toupee.
I used the episode "Revenge of the Cybermen" as one of my main references.
As usual, young smooth beautiful female faces are extraordinarily difficult to get right. The slightest "offness", if I may coin a term, can ruin the likeness. I spent a lot of time trying to perfect her facial shape! That being said, I'm pretty happy with the results so far.
That second batch of line-up choices (Romana II, The Brig, and Ainley) are tentative. The line-up may change by the time we get there and we may do something different. Ainley was chosen because of my personal OCD with choosing heads (laugh). I personally don't want JUST a Doctor head made when I arrange commissions. I'd rather have the assortment be a set or be themed and get a companion and era specific villain too, because who knows when we'd be going back to mine that particular era? Just getting a Doctor doesn't interest me. Plus I figured if Ainley got made for the Fourth Doctor, that automatically gave us a villain for a 5th, 6th, and 7th Doctor who battled him as well. Romana II was chosen to go with K-9, and the Brig because he goes with all of the Doctors as well, but all formed part of the 4th Doctor era.
Back when I started commissioning the Doctor Who heads with Ada I had her do Tom and Leela, so that was my little set there, then when I had her do the Second Doctor, Jamie was going to be next, and I was going to have talented Outpost Galifrey sculptor Neil Sims make "Invasion" Cybermen kits, so that was going to be another themed "set" there. Only I stopped using Ada after the 2nd Doctor because of all of the QC problems I (and everyone) was having so the 2nd Doctor theme never got finished.
Starting off new with Chris and having him want to do a Fourth Doctor, Sarah Jane, and K-9 was just phenominal because there's a freaking Tardis crew right there. I mean a K-9? That's amazing. Who thought we'd ever get one?
:chew:chew:chew. For those who don't want to wade through all the old pages, our love for Doctor Who is mutual and Chris really wants to explore the Doctor Who universe and has in the past mentioned wanting to make things like 1:6 DALEKS and Screaming/Weeping Angels, not just the heads, so that's phenominal!
Bring on K-9 (with saucy voice quotes!)!!!!!!
I don't want to really talk about that too much here in Chris' Doctor Who thread because this thread is just about the amazing Doctor Who universe Chris is laborously and meticulously building for us, and it's going to be incredible! (Back to work, Chris! What did I tell you about no bathroom breaks? Put those clothes back on Sarah Jane!)
But basically, I still have that one lingering 1:6 pre-Chris Doctor Who commission from nearly a year ago that's been paid for (that has been co-funded by several people on this board cause it was big) still is awaiting to be officially announced (I'm waiting till it's done). It's not going to be the INVASION Cyberman anymore though. Since Product Enterprises unfortunate announcement about their 12" line the project had been "upgraded".
When it's done you'll see it in it's own thread.
We now return you to our regular programming. "Episode one: the Larch..."
hello people and freaks alike !!!!!! have you seen the davros !!!!! looks great and he talks and moves by radiocontrol !!!!!!!
It's that old confusing/annoying thing where they are 12", but not in 1:6th scale, they are literally 12" so they are horrendously too large. Davros was stated on Outpost Gallifrey as being made to be in scale with the 12" Daleks.
But hey, that's why we got Chris to make Daleks!
