Jessica's Planet: Life, Liberty & Pursuit of Happiness

Hey! That is almost an X-File Alien! You're giving me ideas! What kind of body is that small one???

 

[Jessica]

I have no idea what type of body. It was a grab bag I purchased on Feebay. Remember the really ugly Asian guy with a broken nose on a female body? This was one of the extra bodies in there.

Edited to say...I THINK it was a Lone Ranger body...come to think of it...

 

[Devil_666]

Had to re-do the face to fit a smaller body. Still working on the face. He's starting to look like an alien.

Yeah but that's how Link looks. Huge Alien-like eyes. Thin nose and a little mouth.

 

[Jessica]

He is really looking like an alien. Anyway, I need to finish this guy...and just complete one project. It's a gigantic project, but I need to see something complete since I have so many unfinished projects.

 

[Restaurajones]

jejejje I had not seen this. The same answer I have in the other thread. I see that we had the same perception. encouragement!!!

 

[Jessica]

The sculpt is too big..so...I'm going to start over from scratch. I just ordered a DiD adolescent body. I don't know how he's going to turn out, but my plan is that he's going to be freaking awesome (even though he's not an ape).

 

[Restaurajones]

What matters is the love, effort and dedication that you put. You will end up with something really good. Besides doing some sculptures, especially of archaeological, I also make artistic painting and also I always I say "until I have finished it, you can not do a critical to my job." Here we are to help us improve to one and all.
I like much that you do with the your custom apes

 

[Jessica]

OK. I tried again, and here's how Link looks. I know it's jumping the gun before the figure is even delivered, but I'm so curious to see how this will turn out. I brought the eyes closer together, and he's less alien-looking.

 

[Mollins]

It's looking great so far, but I would suggest maskign the eyes smaller and a bit more angular, it would help with them not looking so 'buggy'

 

[Jessica]

Going for the less buggy look. Can see nose and lips are a little crooked. I'm going to try to massage them over.

The sculpt on that statue pretty much nails Link!

Good luck!

[Jessica]

Very cool! Thank you for the links. Can't wait to get to the hair, my favorite part of sculpting.

 

[Jessica]

Major snafu with painting today...had to completely strip the paint off of one head I was working on. Soooo disgusted with myself. Live and learn.

Instead, I threw myself into sculpting again, since I can't do much to Link until I get the body shipped to me.

Here's Cornelius. He still needs to be cleaned up. I'll see how I feel about him tomorrow.

I also upgraded my sculpting tools. I was using these guys but I splurged on tools and got the cheapest ones possible--about $15 worth.

Looks like a ghetto swiss army knife!

[madmaninsane]

The body I ordered last week for Link arrived today. It is gorgeous!! I have never been this excited for a non ape project. This Link, even though I know nothing about him, is going to be FUN to make. And, because I can't afford the expen$ive 1:6 scale shield, I'm going to have to craft one. :maul

Should I move his eyes and eyebrows down a notch to match the human one?
