Rainman Artwork 2013 Pulp Fiction Project 2- Jules the Shepard

[meth head]

Teddy, this is the final sculpt?

No, that is the unrevised sculpt.

 

[Raymond F.]

I hope the tweaks pull through as in the above pics I still am definitely seeing an Asian man.

Not that there is a direct likeness or anything; or overly similar characteristics... but something with the cheeks which look a bit puffy also, eyebrows and eyes... I thought of Ai Weiwei

 

[armysoldier74b]

I think should showcase his headsculpt like this FIRST

THEN show us the Ad version with the head attached.

This by itself looks a lot better and I can see SLJ there.

Still can't wait to see the tweaks. Jules is in the bag and paid for .

 

[ShortRound]

Wow, even with the unrevised sculpt she nailed it!

 

[TotalDominAsian]

Hmm the chop on his left side is larger than on the right it seems. That's... Distracting.

Awesome paintwork but the skin tone isn't going to match the Enterbay hands. Not too big of an issue IMO

 

[Greeny400]

The skin tone is definitely a tad on the light side and I think I prefer Rainmans at the moment, but as Teddy said she has got the lips spot on. Hope to see the updated sculpt soon!

Digging Aeon's paint apps more than the mans, but that is just me. Her pics always turn out a little lighter than when you have it in-hand (at least based on the 3 Aeon sculpts I have)

 

[karamazov80]

Yeah, that Vince really looked a lot lighter in those pics than in hand.

 

[Raymond F.]

Aeon pulled more likeness out of Vince than Rainman IMO.

 

[Wake]

Yeah, that Vince really looked a lot lighter in those pics than in hand.

Aeon's pics are overexposed. Probably on purpose. To show more detail.

 

[TotalDominAsian]

Just look at how much the hair color changes in all those shots, reallllllly bright light being used so I'm sure it'll be much darker in hand

 

[Greeny400]

I suppose we do have to take the light into consideration. I'm sure it will look fantastic either way.

 

[robbiethepainter]

I see what people have said about the original sculpt, but for me the paint and lighting is the problem in Rainman's pictures. The lip color looks like lipstick and the lighting he used is too contrasting especially on a AA head. I like the unpainted head where the lighting is nice and even. I think it looks great.

 

[Hydeous]

Aeon did a much better job at bringing out the SLJ likeness in that sculpt

 

[Raymond F.]

I'd actually have to take the opposite approach, though Im not a fan of the sculpt in it's current state either way I see even more SLJ in the Rainman head so far. Like I said, the Aeron pics highlighted my concerns even more, the hint of Asian ethnicity and it made me realize how bloated his cheeks look, this is in part to the deep wrinkles

 

[Origami]

That 8PM time is Korea time zone? What would be the equivalent for EST time in US?

And did the new run of past painted heads already happen?

 

[shadowfla]

Yes, definitely one of rainman's worst likenesses but we all know the talent Rainman is so the standard is high. And I totally agree that the fight clubs may be the weakest link but somehow the Pitt likeness really came out (with blinded eyes) in Tyler 2.0

EDIT. I don't count Marla either which was great. it's really Tyler 1 and Norton specifically Tyler 1. IMO that's still Rainman's weakest. Dexter might be a second but I don/t watch the show so i cant comment from an educated point.

And Hopkins might be another one of the weakest links as well.

My favorites are Bill, Anton, plainview, Alex, Marla, Alfred, Tuco, angel eyes

post corrected and...
....finally i don't agrree about alex but or the rest ..

angel eyes (with lalla mod) and the butcher are the master pieces...

 

[armysoldier74b]

Tuco is pretty weak. No where in the same ball park as Wallach.

 

[Raymond F.]

completely and utterly disagree.

 

[armysoldier74b]

completely and utterly disagree.

C'mon man really?!?!

You are entitled to your opinion, but its not even close.

If you took that HS off and showed it to someone without the outfit they would not tell you its Eli Wallach. No Way Jose!
