Starks333 Posted September 16, 2008 Author Share Posted September 16, 2008 the raised leg is too long, i was planning on using the knee pad and such to hide it but alas, failure, so im gonna have to cut the leg off, shorten and reattach for the leg size: ive seen many version of SoB and they never made sense to me, athletic/physical women usually have quite large legs, and more petite upper bodies...but it always seemed as though they made SoB armour skin tight, which made me wonder, how the hell it functions :) HOWEVER that being said, this camera is a piece of crap on low battery and flattens pictures this gives a bit more of an idea for scale, however it still shrinks and fattens her legs, they are a bit longer/slimmer looking...it should also help once i have more work done to the upper body, because right now the slim torso makes her legs look bigger i think ive extended the crotch plate, once it dries i will shape it into a more fitting way, added the knee parts, still need to shape the main trick i think is because each armour section is not the full section of a leg, because of how bulky amour is, it wouldnt be functional if it went up or down much further, her hip is actually right around where the belt is currently that being said im going to shrink that raised leg and reposition on a slight angle, its too straight right now...also doing this wil allow me to fix the error Brother Gothard mentioned with the hamstring http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll18/BionicCow/Sculpting/000_1534.jpg http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll18/BionicCow/Sculpting/000_1535.jpg @MFV, its actually you and nipples who made me jealous and got me back sculpting :) @wiplash, thanks, i plan on taking the time to do it right so hopefully the result will be worth it!

Graypaint Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 @MFV, its actually you and nipples who made me jealous and got me back sculpting :) Aha, same goes for me. I would only recommend that you lengthen the ankles. Also I don't know exactly what you are planning to do with her raised leg, but you should try to get someone to model that pose for you; it's sort of wonky how far out her thigh is rotated. In the painting, her crotch faces the same direction as the raised leg, making the twist less odd. Just pointing it out, it's always been one of my favorite illustrations.

Mikemike Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 Hey Alex! I really like your work in this topic, especially the Azrael! gonna to love the beign and green :) you know how long I have been waiting for your sister sculpt. :cuss FINALLY! you start on it. Look really nice so far. I like it! The new-style vision would be awesome! Something I want to ask you about the figure is how you going to do the high-heeled shoes? Or maybe I mean are you going to sculpt it? because I have a look and a quick check on the artworks and sister of battle, I think they got the high-heeled shoes on. Just wonder did you forgot about it, or not? Hopefully, this can be a reminder @@ Also, I have just looking at your female sculpt on the other site. It look very good. You are a monster man(kidding), you can paint and sculpt. You are cool ! ;) Look forward to see more work from you! Mike.

Starks333 Posted September 18, 2008 Author Share Posted September 18, 2008 grrrr.......once again useless armatures have screwed my sculpt up....the resting legs pin doesnt go through the foot cuz i screwed up initially, so i have nothing to really connect that piece to the main body nor the foot on the rock...so im gonna have to create the joint on the hip before i can attach the leg back, and then to the foot..WHAT A PAINNNNN anyways ive cut off the leg, turned the body slightly, shortened the thigh plate on the inside of the thigh, it is now equal to the other one ive trimmed the torso she was leaning forward too much, so im adjusting that and now i have to adjust the standing leg, its not under her bodyweight enough, so im moving the foot back a bit, the curve of the leg already works for this this SHOULD correct the minor errors...should.... i will be doing high heeled shoes like the ones in the painting, but with some adjustments....i still need to attach pins for the arms, and the head, i think ill sculpt the head off the body Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/144031-starks-stuff/page/2/#findComment-1698539 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legacy40k Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 I thought the SOB was bigger... did you think of using an eldar guardian for a base for it? It would make a pretty good armature.

wiplash Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 not so keen on the pastel-y azrael - i still love it but not sure the pastel-y look suits 40k, then again its probably the pictures causing this effect love the celestine though! i prefer SOB i creams, whites and blues rather than reds and metallics so this is definately my cup of tea <_< fabulous model too! the lighting on her face is perfect her thighs seem to be the brightest part of her body at the moment though so my eyes are drawn to the chest/hip area rather than the face, dunno whether this is intentional or not just thought i'd bring it up Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/144031-starks-stuff/page/2/#findComment-1770048 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starks333 Posted November 21, 2008 Author Share Posted November 21, 2008 Lunchbox's librarian in progress: the cape has been carved into a nicer shape, i need to add more to adjust the folds and bulk it up(its too thin compared to the rest of the robes so) a bit as well as make it a bit longer and fix the edges of it Before i cut and carved it better http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll18/Bi...ng/P1012285.jpg http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll18/BionicCow/Sculpting/P1012290.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/144031-starks-stuff/page/2/#findComment-1780114 Share on other sites More sharing options...
