Re: Neck-less Arnold head coming soon!
It is great hairwork but I do have some issues with the overall shape. Hate to be a voice of discontent amongst a lot of praise but I am quite fussy about Arnie's hair, bizarre as that may be.
Like Snoop my problem is with the profile view.
Unfortunately its reminding me of the old Sideshow sculpt below when I would rather the hair and the general shape looked more like the NECA. People dismiss NECA because they're low end but they nailed his T2 hairstyle and the shape of Arnie's noggin and that isn't the kind of thing that only high-end can do.
Heres pics I took just now of the NECA head, with flash unfortunately due to poor light in my room here.
Referring only to that profile view and comparing only with the hair and shape of the NECA head, not anything else:
-Frontal hairline could possibly be too high. It seems to be giving the effect of his forehead sloping too much but I could be wrong. It may also need to be more angular, gonna look at screengrabs to confirm.
-the crown is too sloping IMO
-the hair on the back of his head is puffing out too much, like as though its reflecting the shape of his skull. In T2 at least, Arnies hair doesn't do that. It pretty much forms a straight vertical line from the top at the crown to the bottom at the neckline. In fact if anything is ever seen puffing out in the movie its the hair right on his neckline getting pushed out by his jacket collar not the hair higher up. Think of the DX10 mini-mullet!
Again, hate to be
that guy. I wouldn't have a clue how to do what you are doing so I applaud you.
