Here are images of the first application for the original female body that I sculpted:

Slave Leia.

Slave Leia has all-original parts, from the body to the headsculpt to the accessories. She also has ball-jointed hair which allows her head to move without the braids getting in the way. All the accessories are sculpted as separate parts and are not molded to the body.

Leia uses the first iteration of the new female body I designed, what I am calling at the moment as the Liquidisk v1.0. The intention is to create a blank female body that is able to simulate the natural range of motions a real person can achieve, while at the same time preserving the aesthetics of the female body. So far none of the current body types are able to do both at the same time. The requisite gracefulness of the female form tended to be sacrificed for the range given by the articulation, or vice versa.

I didn't agree, so I sculpted my own version of the female figure. I then designed and invented several new joints to accommodate my requirements, to allow the figure to achieve natural and graceful poses.

These two qualities--naturalism and grace--are absolutely mandatory. A female figure should look feminine and not like a set of parts connected by joints. The new joints are devised to simulate the range and work well with the rhythm of contours and the flow of shapes of the human body.

Liquidisk v1.0 uses a lot of new joint systems, which include--among other things--new hip joints; new elbows; new knees, wrists, and ankles. Some companies found the engineering so innovative that they contacted me and expressed interest.

I'm happy with how the body turned out. But there are still a lot of ideas I wanted to try, and those new systems I incorporated into Liquidisk v2.0 (not shown).

Thanks for looking.
 
Amazing work, the head sculpt is fantastic. A few critiques. The head seems a bit small for the body you've placed it on, and I don't know if your intent was for the body to be generic or specific for Leia, if it was specific, then the chest area seems a bit large for Carrie Fisher.

Still great work on body construction and technique, keep up the good work, you're onto something.
 
:lightsabe

That pretty much sums it up for me!


Really great stuff! And welcome!
 
Wow, nice job! That looks a lot better than most custom Slave Leias I've seen. I hope Sideshow is taking notes...

No, it's not. You're just used to Sideshow heads. :monkey1

This thing is damn near perfect! I want one, because I know that Sideshow could never top this (unless they completely come up with a new female figure).
 
First of all: Welcome! :chew

Leia looks amazing! Great job! Can we get some more pics? How about showing off the different poses the body can do?

Well the hips and chest are too big or something, something in the full body photo makes the head look disproportionately small, not much, but noticable.
 
that mate,is a truly awsome piece of art, love it, want one, want one now!!!!!!:monkey5
 
Great first post! Welcome!

Love the body design and the sculpt on Leia is excellent. Let's see more of your work!
 
The body, like the in development Triad body shows that you could make a decenty looking articulated body with human form, if Sideshow could deliver a body like that for a Slave Leia, I could care less if there's no rubber body like Hot Toys, that'd look just fine, provided there's enough articulation at the hips to sit on Jabba's throne.
 
Phenomenal work!

That is exactly where 1:6 scale bodies need to be to begin to shed the articulated toy feeling and become more human. The engineering behind the design looks exceptional.

And the Slave Leia aspect doesn't hurt either.

Awesome.

:rock
 
simply incredible Liquidisk!! i gotta say tho, the bod looks REMARKABLY like Triad's body design. pretty sure they have a patent. might wanna talk w/ them or sumpin. still awesome tho.
