I actually wanted to share this because I put a ton of work into it and it's barely anything that seems worth it lol. As previously mentioned its jut a pretty big fail.
In full honesty if the head wasn't the size of a pea I'd be more motivated to repaint the whole thing and work with this more but it's just not really salvageable
- I replaced the body with a skinnier body and different padding to try and match the size of the head better.
- I weathered the boots
- I resculpted and repainted the sides and widows peak of his hair to get rid of that abrupt plopped-on looking hair piece. Still there but better.
- I repainted the eyes, beard, eyebrows and hairline for better accuracy and realism. Literally all of those things were exactly wrong. Remember my little tip I'd say getting eyebrows right makes up for like 25% of lio=kness possibility with paint and if you ask me about 75% of even the gifted pointers look past this and just follow the sculpt or do their own thing. This is what the best of the best do differently. Rant over!
- replaced his weird blue scarf thingy with accurate gray
- Lastly I sandpapered the hell out of the whole outfit. Anyone can do this and I recommend it at a bare minumum. Rough sandpaper, fine sandpaper it doesn't matter go fast and go hard and go nuts. This makes the leather look way less cheap and shiny.
Its a good thing I have absolute apathy for this character otherwise I would be bummed. Xensation please pick it up for the next one.
