I have to agree with gboy, I'm not really feeling the sculpt. It's a good sculpt, and your paint and hair work is great, but I hardly see any Viggo in it. He has an incredibly hard likeness to capture in a sculpt.
I think another problem is that your figures are of such a high level with the clothing, weathering, etc., that even sculpts that might look good on other figures look worse here simply because of the contrast.

Beautiful work on the figure Seb and what Im about to say is not a reflection on your fine work in the least... I would have to agree that the sculpt is not 100 percent. I think there are two issues with it that I can see. The chin is too pronounced. This has the added detriment of making the face not appear as square as it should. See the pics below... the Jawline and face are wide. And the other aspect is the slant of the eyes. They should be farther apart and lower.

MMM that is odd, I actually see a lot of Viggo in there.

UNfortunately I cannot do nothing about it.
Maybe I could try to sand the jaw to make his head more square.

No doubt that there is a likeness element... lol... im not one those who claims "I dont see 'x' in that at all!" I hate those blanket statements. I will say the paintwork and hair make it clear who its SUPPOSED to be!

Aragorn looks terrific. I'm sure the shadows in the cheeks has something to with it, but I do see viggo. Just not so much aragorn, more eastern promises but the hair and beard look spot on! Are those custom straps and what right is that?

In your first comment and with the pics i can def see whats wrong. I will try to sand the jaw a bit and maybe repaint the brows.

VIggo is def a hard one to capture. Even in the movie and depending on the angle his face might looks different.
Yes thos are custom straps and the right hand is from Barney Ross.

Great job Elvis! About the likeness I believe all you need to change before you try to sand the chin. If you add a little more hair around the cleft in chin like pictured. I think it would reduce the size enough. The hair on your is more handle bar mustache and farther away. That's my take on it. As a fellow modded of heads. Great job as usual

It definitely adds to that.

Here's with a bit more beard, I think I could add a bit more.

Well of course... I'd pick him out as Aragorn even w/o the context of the outfit, etc; but just something off a bit about it.

VIggo is def a hard one to capture. Even in the movie and depending on the angle his face might looks different.

And Viggo is kind of an odd looking person... kind of like Daniel Craig he's both attractive and a bit ugly at the same time. Probably what makes him a bit more believable as a warrior. I do think altering the chin just a touch might be what's needed.

That hair application is fantastic

Looks so badass man, makes me even more excited for the asmus Aragorn even though it wont be as good as yours

Re: Elvis1976 custom's•RAMBO•ELYSIUM•THE SAFS project•NAZGUL•ARAGORN

That Aragorn is absolutely stunning! You should try to find someone to tailor the coat in a new material, that's the only weak part of the figure, imo, everything else looks spectacular.

I agree about the duster, it's horrible but I have something else up my sleeve.

Re: Elvis1976 custom's•RAMBO•ELYSIUM•THE SAFS project•NAZGUL•ARAGORN

Fixed the beard, eyes and brows on Aragorn. I think it improves the likeness quiet a lot, messed up with the hair a bit more too.
I also changed the dusted with the DID one. I retailored it and repainted it green. Now I need to weather it.

Re: Elvis1976 custom's•RAMBO•ELYSIUM•THE SAFS project•NAZGUL•ARAGORN

Woah, he looks a lot better! Now that's aragorn, love the new duster. What exactly did you do?
