Re: Trevor's Firefly Sculpts

any of the painters here taking commissions right now? I will have 5 Serenity heads that need a paint job!

Re: Trevor's Firefly Sculpts

Wow! That's spectacular!

If you can find a way to shorten the neck she'll be perfect!

Thanks Mag, in the heat of the moment I failed to seat the head on the neck all the way. After the photo shoot I corrected that. She looks much better as you'll see in the group shot coming up soon.

Thank you everyone for your kind words about my Kaylee bash, and your B-day wishes. I'm still on cloud nine, she really was a big suprise.

Just got my Kaylee casting today--so awesome, I think I'm going to start putting together figures. Originally I was just buying them to have them, but I kinda want to actually build the full figures.

Thank you Josh, she looks fantastic like the rest of your work. This completes 4 of the Magnificent 9. Now I wait for Trev to turn out another fabulous sculpt. Be posting a group shot of all four very soon.

Fabulous! The talent displayed in this thread is amazing! I am in awe of all of the artists here! I look forward to having the time to try my hand at painting these immaculate head sculpts. Thanks for the inspiration, folks!

Re: Trevor's Firefly Sculpts

I was digging through a bunch of old threads when I came across a picture of Trevor's first Mal attempt... the one he dropped and broke last year. I remember seeing this sculpt and mourning it's loss.

Trevor promised that the next one would be better. And he wasn't kidding.

Here's the first one:

Here's the second:

What do you guys think?

We really lucked out that he got a case of dropsies. The second sculpt is definetly an improvement over the first. The most noticable is the improved hair and eyes. Makes me glad I got the one I did, although the first one is really very good. Better than anything that had been done up till then. I'm not sure Trev ever turns out a poor likeness.

Old Grandpa

That would be a negatory All of the Sideshow pieces I own have been sculpted by Trevor, true story.

 

[Maglor]

Re: Trevor's Firefly Sculpts

Wow, that is a huge improvement. You can especially see it in the profile shots.

But again, the really are both pretty stelar.

Re: Trevor's Firefly Sculpts

I have old eyes. I can only tell that the hair in front is a little different. Other than that, they look the same to me. I'm just glad Trev had the time to sculpt us another Mal.

Speaking of Mal, Kaylee's in the house! Woo hoo! Thanks, Trev! She's just... shiny!

Re: Trevor's Firefly Sculpts

Well, OK! I finally have Mal together!

Here are a few shots: (the flash washes it out a bit, looks much better in person, I'll have to get a tripod)

Body: Narrow TT
Head: Trev's Head, painted by Commtech
Shirt: SS Duncan MacLeod
Suspenders: Peter Greim
Pants: Battlegear Toys Butternut pants (brown stripes added, thanks to Old Grandpa!)
Duster: Made by cadaver202 (his second coat ever, I'm amazed at what he did! clasps added by me)
Rig: From Stevo's Toys
Gloves: BR Joker gloves lightly tinted brown (thanks MarfMaster!)
Boots: Newline Japanese Officer Boots.
Stand Label: Evilface

I still have to do a couple of small things, like find a better pistol grip glove (the BR Joker one has a hard time gripping the pistol), and replace the leg strap with something more to scale, but he's pretty much complete. I LOVE how it came out, and thanks to Trev's fantastic sculpt, this gave me the drive to seek out the parts and collaborate with so many talented people, this was a great experience!
It's enough for me to want to start another character.

Re: Trevor's Firefly Sculpts

Love it! Cadaver did a great job on that jacket!!! I love how collaborative these Firefly customs are. Bodes well for the Browncoats.

What do you guys think?

I like the first one better. In the new one the eyes seem to be to big in proportion to the rest of the face. If the new sculpt had the old eyes I would be more inclined to jump in on these. Here is a picture of Nathan that shows what I mean.

I see sublte differences, but I think the first one is every bit as excellent. I actually like the squintier eyes. If painted right, it would give off a lot of emotion.

Re: Trevor's Firefly Sculpts

While both sculpts are friggin fantastic, the squinting eyes on the first are probably the only aspect I prefer over the second.
