Hey thanks George but actually the P1 hands are sort of like that. I just exaggerated it a bit more.

Are those fingers working out?

Now i understand why the finger cups lol

AlphaTech686 · Aug 28, 2013

Hay Made they are working out ok. I haven't seen much of you here? Here is the left hand work. Still shaving it down to match the right.
These are both still very rough.

This is really taking some time to get the two hands to match. If I had it to do over I would have tried to get the hand plugs is more similar poses. The left hand has that little finger flailed out and it bugs me. Almost ready to texture them.

Got a few things done yesterday. First I finished roughing in the left hand then I had to shave down the thumb to
make that cup.

Then I needed to mold it but I wanted to mold the glove parts at the same time so here are those photos.

I sprayed a coat of paint on it to give a nice smooth surface.

Next was the knuckle piece.

The most efficient way to mold um.

That's it for now.

Great designs

Here is the final skin texture I'm going with on the fingers. I wanted to tie them in with the scales on the legs.

I will finish the texture then do the glove edges.

ThePriest · Sep 3, 2013

Hey man that is nice work i never thought of doing em like that great idea i will remember that when i do my hands, But 1 question what the hell happened to the legs ? and why aren't they done? your job getting in the way again? LOL

AlphaTech686 · Sep 5, 2013

Hey Tony that is a very good question. The legs are sitting right behind me. I think I will get a little more done on the hands then switch back to finishing up these legs. Thanks for jumpin me out like that though.

It's a pleasure to see you sculpt and watch what you come up with. Very innovative.

Its your clay medium or soft?

AlphaTech686 · Sep 6, 2013

Hey Made it's either medium or hard. Hey Tony here's the updates on the quads. I decided to jump back into these for a while. I roughed in the cod piece
today. Yesterday I did a fair amount of detailing on the inner quads.
