[Nwerke]

God, I get goosebumps from this thread, just every single time.

That's nice! More to do? Maybe, but you just took it a long long way in the right direction.

That looks better to my eye, once the fins are on it should fall in place.....:thumbsup

[Leigh]

Many Thanks Guy's

Last update for a while, I've run out of materials
I guess I'll be back to texturing the head, thats about all I can do for now.
I could do with a little break from Bob, he's been taking up all my concetration for a while & I need to spend some time with the missus, what with Valentines day comming up

Heres some pic's:

That is insane! Mere words fail to capture the ever-increasing beauty of this sculpt.

And to think, this is what it started out as! I just wish you had taken a photo of it in the same position at each phase so we could do a really cool morph animation.

That would have been cool, its still mostly there, under all the filler & clay. Although the wooden armature has been trimmed its still there, its used to slot the head onto the neck now. My coffee cup seems to have made a regular appearance in most of the pic's though :lol

pure unadulterated awesome sauwce!!!

Thank you

Leigh, your work continues to leave me in awe. It is so wonderful that you are sharing your creation during almost every major step. It is almost like we are watching a child grow. I just can't wait until this boy graduates from college. Keep up the fantastic work.

Simply stunning.

Thanks Guy's

Right, Time for a little update:
This still needs work on the chest & shoulder area but I thought I'd show you how its going:







Its been difficult to get the shape right as I dont have any reference to him in this pose.
The original has his shoulders quite far forward & he has a very small chest (a little round shouldered maybe). The leaning forward pose I'm doing has him with his shoulders back which stretches his chest & pushes it out a bit.
So lining stuff up has been a bit of a chore.
I made myself quite a bit extra work leaning him forward like that but hopefully it'll be worth it in the end.
I think its getting there though & I'm happy with it atm

WOW :eek you have been busy.... looks fantastic... I click on expecting a small change to the shoulders and neck and see this!

Keep it up mate BOB's getting there......:thumbsup

 

[xmr1]

Wow, someone was busy!! Great work as always, i'm speechless!

 

[PredatrHuntr]

What a thing of beauty to look at. Giger really created a piece of art when he did the Alien...

 

[masterstumpy]

Stunning!!!! Simply Stunning!!!

wow that was really quick progress, it really is amazing how the shape of the shoulders really just bring this piece together. keep it up!
