[ZKULPTOR]

Hi guys,
I did this a while back. I started fixing him.
I am liking where he is going.
I need 25 people in order to get going, please let me know if there's any interest OK?

head,hand/forarm,gun.
we will be looking around $150-$170 for the unpainted/unassembled set and need 25 people interested to see it done.

(will update with wip pics as they come)

The mouth area needs refinement (far too bulbous and prominent) but if I like the finished sculpt then I'll buy one, most definitely.

Reference images for the mouth and jaw area.

The face should be a little rounder also and maybe not as long.

 

[ZKULPTOR]

Thanks guys,
I see what you are saying, but I am not seeing it from the reference
below. Then again it does look very long in the pictures I took, i will try to take pictures from afar..head look very long indeed.
Thanks!

That's Sharlto Copley, not Wikus:wink1::lol

Your best source of reference should be actual movie stills, because makeup and digital alteration is used in a lot of movies. From movie images I'm seeing a rounder face and less prominent jaw.

 

[ZKULPTOR]

From far away.

 

[BlitzOUT]

The face is too long and I still think his jaw is too prominent. The upper half looks excellent.

Thanks Blitz,
I just made the jaw less prominent and filled in underneath the cheeks as to make him look a bit fuller.
Let me know what you think

 

[bigbrocha]

Very interested, but we would totally need that prawn hand also.

[T.bowen]

[tighfighter]

Thanks T!
When you say hand you mean just the hand or the whole arm?

Looks much better. Maybe try and round off the jaw, and fill in more of the cheeks, then it'll look great. Thanks for taking on the revisions.

We would need the whole forearm, or possibly the whole arm.

 

[BlitzOUT]

When I say round off the jaw, I'm referring to this image

The lower part of the cheeks could also be more filled out to compliment the rounded jaw.

 

[BlitzOUT]

I think we'll only need the hand. The forearm is wrapped in bandages

:exactly: :goodpost: Yeah BlitzOUT is spot on!

 

[BlitzOUT]

Here are some detailed images of the arm and hand. The arm does have a lot of abnormalities, but it's implausible to sculpt the whole arm and part of the back. It would be covered up by clothing and bandages anyway.

If there was enough interest could you also sculpt his gun?
