JeffWoodall Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 Haven't posted in a while, I have been trying out various sculpting techniques and materials. I have learned several ways how not to do something. This is one of my better attempts. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speak_Centurion Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 Hi Jeff, what size is she? The legs are short, but basically look good, and the torso looks good. The arms are too long I think. Crucially, her face looks good - nicely done - but I think you've got more work to do getting the shape of heads correct, (which incidentally is something I've been doing lately and it has been bloody torture). If you look at her side-on (top-right picture) the sides of her face don't look fully-formed, the jaw-line isn't as well-defined as it could be. Try looking from the bottom of the miniature/figurine to get a good look at the underside of the jaw. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLZeebub Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 Fishy, fishy, fishy, ohhhh....and it went...wherever I did go! Her posture, at least the arm, kind of remind me of that (gotta watch the whole movie now!). Looks pretty good to me, the face and hair especially. As Mastermind said, check the jaw and arm/leg proportions. Maybe tone down the silicone underboob look (find some tasteful natural nudes to see how certain feminine attributes respond to gravity). That's kind of a critique of mine on even a lot of professional sculptors though. Great work in general though! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Jack Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 For arms, when resting at the figure's sides the elbows should be about level with the bottom of the rib cage, and the fingertips should be about level with the line across the bottom of the hip/crotch area... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the advice everyone, very much appreciated. It is 30 mm high. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caleb Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 What material did you use for this sculpt? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffWoodall Posted April 2, 2016 Author Share Posted April 2, 2016 What material did you use for this sculpt? Premo with a green stuff "undercoat" on the armature. Lot of people don't like polymer clay but I seem to do a little better with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBH you seem to be better with polymer clay than I am, I'll have to give it another try some time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
