Wow Phil .. I'm glad you changed it (again) as I always thought your other version has something wrong around the eyes! Now, I can honestly say that this one looks much much better!!!

Cheers,
Al

I was really not feeling the V3, but the newest version...the eyes seem a bit less "bulgey". I dig it and can see why you have kept tweaking. Excellent work, Phil.

Hey guys... Noticed quite a few more tweaks needing to be done from the last series of pics so had a bit of free time earlier this week to address them... The changes mainly revolve around the eyebrow bulges eyelids and ear positioning but theres a lot more than that besides... This really makes my "older" versions look rubbish now, I think :lol

Phil

oh yes, this really is an advancment! I think you nailed it now - Congrats!!!

Thanks guys,

The trouble i feel with this project is its hard to concentrate on it with so many other jobs on the go at the same time - so, over Xmas, i decided I'll immerse myself in it and try and understand what it was that was bugging me about the features. In a way I've actually brought it a little bit backwards towards the V2 with the eyebrows and what was good about that but fixed what were the bad points like the details and the cheeks and eyelids. Its been a constantly evolving process that over time is more growing it Yoda rather than being made :lol

The attached image shows how close this is to the key image of Yoda I'm using and the very minor tweaks needing to be done to make it virtually spot on to the screen orignial puppet head

Hi Phil,

What about Yoda's right ear (left in picture)? See here what I mean :

-Chaim

Thats not the general ear position but I'll be putting wire in the ears to make them bendable

Here is a test of just the face of Phil's sculpt. A little Photoshop simulation, not an overlay analysis so much but just to see how it looks under the right lighting, paint and hair treatment.

That last panel, 4, features Phil's sculpt's face. That is NOT a screenshot. I had to do a double-take even though I did the Photoshopping.

Well, don't know about you, but I'm sold on the face alone! :thumbsup

That looks AWESOME, Phil! Very, very impressive indeed.

Now stop sculpting and let's see a puppet!
