[FRwL custom] HS Tech Noir...

[a-dev]

Looks fantastic but I think rjszar is exactly right - you've got the likeness and just need to make it a little bit more mean. His left eye being more squinted than his right is a good suggestion

Any given picture from T1 or T2 shows that he does this to varying extremes, his left eye more squinty than his right.

I also think I see what rjszar means about the hair, maybe a tiny bit 'flat' on top. However, don't copy the MMS136 floppy fringe coming down over the forehead. For most of his time with this hairstyle his fringe was swept off to the side just like you have it. Hot Toys did the fringe/bangs wrong.

Lastly the scowl, another thing that would really make this Terminator. Although the T-800 is supposed to be emotionless he looks ''mean'' much of the time. So maybe curl his upper lip a bit and add an expression-line on that side of the face if need be.







Can we see some full side-view shots? Sometimes you get sculpts that mess up the profile but I have a good feeling about this one.

 

[a-dev]

Oh fantastic, a bunch of my pics aren't working.

[a-dev]

Awesome. Nice one RIDDICK, that's exactly what I'm talking about with the mouth.

 

[rjszar]

Thanks for the pictures Riddick. This points out something I was trying to figure out yesterday. A-dev is correct about the lip. It is a little subtle, but it is there. Whether or not that causes what I was trying to figure out, it is clearly evident in Riddick's pictures. They are of an older Arnold and maybe that makes it deeper, but Arnold's scowl causes the area between chin and lower lip to sink. Maybe he is sticking his chin out ever so slightly or he is sort of puckering lower lip along with curling upper lip.

I don't want to see as much of a sneer as in Riddick's pictures, but if you could just tweak this area, it might help.

INterested! want to see final product

 

[a-dev]

Good observation rjszar, whatever he does with his mouth/jaw increases the shadow in that region.

 

[marisinacc]

He's doing the Clint Eastwood squint, no doubt!

He's doing the Clint Eastwood squint, no doubt!

I'm sorry, I didn't understand your humor.

 

[a-dev]

I think he's referring to Arnold himself - both he and Clint Eastwood seem to squint their eyes - it's their trademark look.

 

[marisinacc]

Ulli, excuse me, I meant I'm sure Arnold is trying to replicate this typical Clint Easwood eye and mouth squint
