sheela bio.. third attempt

[predtrooper]

After two failed attempts at the sheela bio i thought id approach thing a different way. Iv mostly been having problems with getting the proprtions right. But thanks to spgfx for sending me some photos of his figurine im now starting to make some progress.

 

[predtrooper]

The first thing I did was to make a tracing enlarged to wat I think is the correct size. This was one of my problems before, I was either to small or to big

 

[predtrooper]

Next I transferred this to cardboard so that I would have a basic template to work from

 

[predtrooper]

The next step was to fill it with expanding foam. But I might of over done it a bit

 

[predtrooper]

Once everything was set set I then started cutting away with a bread knife and shapping with a file and then coverd with a layer of masking tape

 

[predtrooper]

Once I started adding the clay I was a lot closer in proportion stait away than any previous attempt. Here is a couple of early comparison shots

I think its going to take a few weeks to get everything perfect but im definitely of to a good start. And would just like to thank spgfx for taking the time to provide me with the photo I desperately needed

Bravo!!!!

Just a little update as iv not had a lot of time to work on this but as you can see im still struggling to get the proportions rigjt

 

[predtrooper]

I can see the brow is to high and the eye is to far back and that slug thing on the side needs to move forward

I really like the colors.

Thats justs the picture off spgfx model that im copying. mines the **** one on the left

 

[spgfx]

Don't be so hard on yourself. I think it looks very good. Just a few more tweaks and your good. Do you have any way of projecting an image ? If so you could project the image on your sculpt. Or you could work in reverse. Take a pic of your sculpt and scale it down to fit over the Sheila bio images I sent you. You should be able to see where and how far your off , measure and make adjustments.

My bio is not even close - here is a pic

 

[predtrooper]

That is one bad ass bio mate.what im using is tracing on transparent plastic from your photos at the different angles and holding them in front as a guide and then taking lots of photos and doing a side by side comparison

I know. That's why I hope you will be succesfull because it looks quite good right now.

 

[predtrooper]

Thanks, so do I but it might take a while

 

[predtrooper]

Found a couple off spare hours to spend on this and im slowly getting closer to the model
