Neo from Matrix . . .

[Platty]

You know I geniunely didn't think last years Prototype could get any better, at the time I thought it was one of the best 1/6th items i'd seen. Now Ii've changed my mind lol. The new version is amazing.

Lookin' good! Can't wait to see the sculpt with the proper glasses, I think the ones on there are throwing the likeness off a bit for me.

 

[Commtech]

Beautiful work Kato. As always.

But... is that Nicolas Cage as Neo?

 

[yodasan]

I had the same thought re the sculpt. But the coat looks fantastic.

Ok, finally someone said it. As of now, the unpainted sculpt looks more like Nicholas Cage than Keanu Reeves. For the longest time, I thought there is something wrong with my eyes and I am seeing something different from you all. The HS never looked very much like Keanu to me from day one.

I think a lot of us here are being nice and respectful but that is very harmful to an artist by telling them that something they created is perfect when it could still use some work.

I am really saying all this the with the utmost respect for the effort that everyone has put into making this happen. We have a great costume and the perfect body for it but the HS as of now is not doing this project justice.

Epic! 7char

 

[Commtech]

Crap. Didn't mean no disrespect to Sunohc. I just called it as I saw it.

 

[Thrustmaster]

Wow. Glad, that no one is seeing my face in front of my monitor but it looks at the moment like this

I'm loving the fit, especially the waistline, how it's tight on the body. and also love the back of the coat.

Very very impressive work my friend!

 

[Cheungkinmen]

Looking awesome!

 

[RIDDICK]

Great tailoring!!!

And nice Nick Cage HS you got there

hey everyone,
I appreciate the comments on the sculpt though they may not be praising, the critiques are helpful

I do see some problems with the likeness but
the sculpt on the body is a opaque casting and so
I'm hoping that Sean Ho's painting will really bring the likeness out better.
The thing is, the way I sculpted Keanu Reeves's lips a little thicker and the nose slightly too big gives off that Nicholas Cage likeness (good observation), but the lips will not be painted full (leaving a bottom line of skin below) and Sean Ho is making some edits to the sculpt to make the face a little longer, which'll make the nose look smaller and the likeness better.

I'm hoping this will improve the likeness on the sculpt

Hope this helps,

Daniel

This is really shaping up nicely now, the outfit is perfect and the sculpt sounds as if its getting there. Awesome!

I really need to get my ass in gear and send you those medicom matrix items sunohc!

 

[Cheungkinmen]

You know I'm in for one or two Daniel!, can't wait to see it modded!

 

[Y4NK33 PL4N3T]

Wow, this figure is shaping up to be the best Neo out there. The outfit is spot on and tailored perfectly. Can't wait to see how Nick Cage transforms to Kenau

I'm definitely interested in a full figure

 

[sdabbs]

wow - keanu REALLY looks like nic here

 

[Kato.E]

As I still not satisfy with the fitting, I decide to make again

The long jacket is now swinging naturally in the air
