WST: Since you're the one that sent in the season three pic and preferred the season three hair, what do you have to say about it? Would you rather her go back and redo the hair?
Dean needs work. Tall Man needed a nose tweak. Sam looked GREAT, although there was that hair mistake. Yes, I did ask for specific hair, but in light of the other heads needing some more work done, I'm in favor of picking and choosing my battles.
Had Sam been the only commission and not one of three, I MIGHT have said something, but she really nailed that head regardless. Also, remember (I sculpt a bit too): removing all that hair to do a different style really is major surgery and could risk a very good chance of smashing or ruining the facework accidentally in the process. After seeing how amazing Sam was to start with, I would be haunted by any version she re-did after that.
As it stands right now, I signed off on Sam after seeing the iris' removed just this morning and paid her the rest of the money for the copies now that I had a set number. She said she is casting and painting him already.
I have to tell you, from looking and studying my comparison of the Dean head, she DIDN'T make any changes to it other than remove the iris'. Any percieved differences is due to shading and angles, showing it was really a bit of a nicer sculpt than the first pics showed.
That happened because communication is sketchy between us. She apparently never saw the "Dean changes" e-mail last week, (she doesn't always get E-mails) so I re-addressed it. I haven't heard back yet since she's seen it. I amended what I wanted to see changed on Dean since he does look nicer in the newer iris free photos to just fixing the sides of his hair and jaw, and not the eyes.
BTW- you can see how nice Deans flips in his hair actually is in the from the side view of him. You can't really tell from the front view how his head is short cropped behind it.
