Might as well post every single frame from the movie at this point.

Well, I posted one not even in the movie.

I think that is a good idea for one of the options. What do you think @sdabbs

from the poster? I think we could make it so the big grin version has an option to have the cigar in his mouth? unless you guys are not wanting the big grin? (do you prefer more a sinister grin?)

My view (as a PO holder for the Catwoman double DX- so you can trust I'll put my money where my mouth is) is that the current two suggested sculpts for the Mayor version are two similar in that they evoke the same emotion. One big, OTT psychotic grin and another even bigger, OTTer psychotic smile.

Variance is the beauty of multiple headsculpts and, especially for Major Penguin, it would be great to see his more cunning, manipulative, and sinister side.

So the poster head with potentially removable cigar would get my vote. (Please no more polls!)

My ideal 4 heads from the proposed options
Mayor
1. Sinister poster grin
2. Psychotic 'I've got your nose' laugh
Sewer
3. Enraged scream
4. Drooling, defeated in death

I've always loved that poster look... and was disappointed that it was never in the movie (complete with monocle).

Whatever you guys do, I hope this pack will include the monocle.

I really love the “You don’t really think you’ll win do you” look.

And for the smile I don’t love the poster smile, and I wouldn’t want a hole in his grin for the cigarette holder, correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t ever think he actually smokes in the film, I think it’s just on the poster. I prefer a smile like this.

Really excited for this and will definitely be going for the all out package.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Those two expressions work for a variety of scenes. I think those should be the gauge for the two Mayor heads. Just like the Fine Arts masks, one grim frown, one fiendish grin.


That said, and despite it not being in the film, I would like the option of adding the cigarette holder and monocle to the Mayor Penguin.

 

[JazzInc]

All right, so some quick and dirty work from Sean. What do you think?

 

[Wor-Gar]

Good start.

My 2-cents: going by the screen shot directly above the render, I think a little less lip, and ever-so-slight curve to the upper lip to help shape the grin... and a little more squint to the eyes, more evil glare.

 

[Stephen Gentile]

I agree with Wor-Gar, more squint to the eyes needed with a broad smile.

 

[WolfBoy]

Mayor Penguin - Sinister smile sculpt [with cigarette insert option] and sad face sculpt.

Sewer Penguin - Angry/Scream sculpt and dying bleeding mouth sculpt.


I think those options cover the most obvious scope of expressions [outside of a neutral sculpt].

Good choices, these two expressions get my vote. That first expression would work well with the monocle and cigarette holder.

Not a fan of wide eyes, reminds me too much of Uncle Fester. Like Wor-Gar mentioned, making the eyes more squinted would give him a more sinister look.
