Hey, everybody! I haven't posted on therpf in a while. But I wanted to share my latest project with everyone. I have already made a lot of progress and am very close to molding everything. I will start at the beginning, and the beginning is this picture of Calvin and Hobbes as Han and Chewie on the Falcon:
I absolutely love these mash-ups artists do, and I decided this would make a really cool sculpture for my brother's birthday. This is an old image and I have not been able to find the original artist, so if anyone knows who first came up with this, please give them a shout out for credit. It is awesome!
OK! So I began with the falcon, using cintra to build up a structure and shell for the basic shape of the falcon.
...And then I began sculpting out Calvin and Hobbes:
And then I decided to personalize the sculpture by adding a custom base of my own design. I thought it would be really cool to make a base that looked like the giant asteroid from ESB... and, almost as an afterthought, I realized I needed to add the giant space worm that tried to eat them,cause YEAH! LOL!
You can see some of the detail I added to the falcon in the image above. I thought the engine flare would add some energy to the sculpture. I'm planning to make the space worm a little bit bigger...
All that's left now are the arms and legs and a few more details to help pull it all together. I have been filling and sanding and priming to work on getting everything just right and ready to mold. Here are just a few more pics to show my most recent work. You'll see I made the DL-44 and Bowcaster as well as added clothing to Calvin and I have begun adding the "wookie fur" to Hobbes to make everything truer to the concept photo. As I always say, "It's all in the details."
Questions and comments are always welcome. As always, thank-you or looking! I will post more updates soon.
