Hugh Laurie as House Custom Headsculpt by Chris Howes Interest Thread

[samueljd]

Agreed, hair needs a little work. Definitely less.

Other than that, looks AWESOME!

Agree, only minor issue is the hair. House has gone through slight variations on his hair, from thin and short cropped to a little thick and poofy.

I think the upper lid of the eyes are a little too round. HL 's seem a little straighter.

 

[C.Howes_Sculptor]

Staggering work. I pretty much am sold on anything you produce

Don't say that!! You gotta keep me on my toes...

 

[C.Howes_Sculptor]

Quick survey, guys.... Short hair or bushier hair?

 

[bwayne]

I say short, but I think I will be in the minority.

Whatever this classifies as:

 

[Buttmunch]

I'd say somewhat shorter as well.

Exactly what KBA shows above!

 

[siquisiri]

short..........

 

[knucklefunger]

I agree, go short, if someone wants it longer they can add a little epoxy

 

[toyadventurer]

It's a no brainer, bushier hair

 

[mosaicsquare]

KBA Suggestion owns!

 

[knucklefunger]

agree, this shot is perfect

 

[Buttmunch]

The hair and expression in that shot really is perfect. House is one of the few characters/figures that a blank stare would work perfectly on.

 

[darkchylde80]

100% behind KBA's choice!

 

[Gruff Old Bear]

The important thing is, the head already has the House attitude.

I like the KBA photo too, but I don't know how the hair will translate as a sculpt. If Chris made all those tiny points of hair, I have a feeling it'd read "anime."

As has been graciously revealed, Hugh does wear a hairpiece on the show, so his hair does look bushy. Yet it is cut rather short, where the latest sculpt looks a little JFK-ish in the front. I think the best suggestion I can offer to Chris is to try to make it look like it's cut shorter, yet more unkempt and disheveled. A wee tad bit of bed-head effect.

I like the shorter hair, just like the pic KBA posted, and bed-head as Gruff stated sounds like the look I'd be happy with.

I agree, it was one of my concerns as well. That it would not translate. But after seeing how Les Walker's spikey haired hicks turned out, I think it would work fine in 1/6 (obviously the hair style would be different for house, but you get the idea):

What's this? Is Chris already sending out some canes. I don't remember hearing anything about this.

Finally finished my House figure. Got everything I wanted. Now I am just waiting for Chris to do his magic.
