Hi, everybody.
Test print in low resolution.

I increased the size by 2.3 and 4%
Tomorrow night, the new prints will be ready

 
Re: [FRwL custom] HS "Tech Noir" (2 versions) - START SALES!!!

Does look a little small there. I love the way it looks on the body though. Can't wait to see the new prints.

Hey Ulli. A-dev mentioned something to me that looks off. I think I agree. Will have to see when the bigger heads are ready. The position of the hole on the bottom of the head is important. Try to keep it as far away from the chin as possible. It looks like he is pulling his chin in towards his neck which makes it look a little funny. Also, the head needs to sit a little lower on the neck. Too much neck is showing. There is nothing wrong with the sculpt. It is just where the hole is and how deep it is.
 
Re: [FRwL custom] HS "Tech Noir" (2 versions) - START SALES!!!

So a new the size of the.
As I said yesterday, I printed 102; 103 and 104% of the original size.
I think the ideal is 104%
Below are photos and videos
Your feedback?

Well that's not entirely true. There's things about the hair that aren't right. For some reason it's only now that I see the sculpt in physical form on the body - but there are things that are off. Last night I was working on a new mock up of what the profile should look like.

I'm sorry I didn't notice this stuff about the hair before, I was zoned in on the whole squint/lipcurl/eyebrow thing. The hair slopes down way too much on the crown and it travels too far down the back of his neck where it curls in the wrong direction. We've also got the front not quite right. The fringe on this particular side should have more bounce and curl to it, probably exposing more of his forehead there.

So in my edits above I've made the overall shape more square and I've added sculpt back behind the chin and to the jawline. When you cut off too much of his face it reduces the ape-like aspect to his lower face. So I would definitely add that stuff back in. This would necessitate shortening the hair at the back because you need to keep a big enough space for the neck - turns out this is more accurate anyway.

Also note that the way the cut-off looks now is very similar to the Hot Toys head. This would seem to make sense to do in order to get it looking as natural as possible on the MMS136 neck.

Hi Ulli, I think you are correct about the size of the head. It looks right to me. Is it possible to address the issues with the hair a-dev mentioned. I know it is a little late in the game, but a hair mod should be pretty quick. It won't change the head size or anything. Hope you will consider.
 
Re: [FRwL custom] HS "Tech Noir" (2 versions) - START SALES!!!

Very sorry to be a pain in the arse guys. Just, I won't lie, these issues are suddenly glaring at me, I can't unsee them.

They are legitimate. I noticed the hair issue a while back, but didn't think it was a huge issue, especially after the whole squint/lip curl ordeal. Hopefully Ulli will make the alteration for us.

A final small adjustment to the hair behind the ear to better match those reference pics.

Got him, thanks!
 
Re: [FRwL custom] HS "Tech Noir" (2 versions) - START SALES!!!

Thanks Ulli, sorry again :monkey3



Below is my best guess on how it should look on the body. However I realise 3D modelling and drawing on a 2D image are different things.

I'm trying to show here the angle the neck should be able to fit into the head; hopefully how the sculpt modifications would better allow that, and how those modifications look more accurate to his likeness.

Neck length and head size I think look good too.

Thanks Ulli. You're the best. You go the extra mile to get it right. I wouldn't have purchased 7 Arnie heads already if it wasn't true.

Due to internet problems I can't post images I want to post. When I tried to edit I found my links disabled for some reason. Don't have time to repost at the moment.
 
Re: [FRwL custom] HS "Tech Noir" (2 versions) - START SALES!!!

Trying again, as I did last night but without success

I also want to work on the other side of the head.

To fit the neck at the proper angle the bottom of the hair at the back might need to be taken up a bit - no big deal

A-dev, is it possible to send me the pictures you want to post, and I'll do it? I'm sure Ulli wants to get this all taken care of.
