Elvis what have you done?! If Asmus ever releases a Boromir it will look like crap now.

LEGOLAS work in progress. This was one of the most difficult hairing. Cause you see the entire front roots so it needed to be natural and super clean. Head was resculpted SS Legolas by Darren Carnall and painted by me.

Wow! Legolas looks awesome. Fantastic hair job. Too bad Asmus is sticking with the sculpted hair, cause this looks great.

You must have fast skills, and an even faster lifestyle
When rooting do you glue, or drill tiny holes too for the hair? thanks, its something i could not figure out.

I glue strands by strands.
I begin with the back of the head, the side, top of the head and then the front. After I fine tune the hairline to be as smooth as possible.
This one took me 2 hours.

Believe me or not the most difficult isn't gluing them it's style them after.

Wow, ok that helps thanks Elvis. I fancied doing a big moustache for a Fable custom too, there no getting that wrong

No disrespect intended but am I the only one who sees Barney Stinson?

Re: ELVIS1976 - LOTR custom thread•GIMLI•GANDALF•LURTZ•BOROMIR•LEGOLAS

LOL it does look a bit like Barney

Still, its probably one of the best custom Legolas I've ever seen

Oh Elvis does great work. That's why I specified no disrespect. I just can't look at Legolas and not see a passing resemblance to Barney.

I think my quest for a great Aragorn sculpt has come to an end. I used the head that comes with the SIdeshow Aragorn maquette. Reworked it to fit a body and repainted it. This head has been sculpted by Trevor Grove and imo is the best Aragorn head so far.

Winner, winner, chicken dinner! That is perfect. The definitive Aragorn. And your logo is awesome, very old school.
