Hal Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 I sculpted this for my chapter master but it's slightly too big to use, damn. Nevertheless I learnt a lot so it's not a complete failure. http://img9.imageshack.us/img9/161/getahead.jpg While I have a camera with a macro I though I'd share this as well: http://img194.imageshack.us/img194/7527/largehead.jpg Again, its too large (Inquisitor scale) but it was my first so I though I'd start by making them too big before working my way down to 28mm. Expect more of my stuff (plus tutorials hopefully), I finally have a camera with a macro and I'm not afraid to use it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Tuditanus Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 *drops ale-mug in stupefied wonder* By Russ' beard! Those were your first sculpted heads? For heads... Those are amazing... I hear heads are the hardest to do anyhow! Lovely, lovely work, and I am anxiously awaiting tutorials.. Just getting into GS work myself, so I could use some pointers.

Marshal van Trapp Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 honestly? if i made a head that looked that good but it wasn't the right size, i'd scale up my WHOLE army just so i could use that head! (or maybe just the chapter master... the whole army would be a bit much) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonkin Arenis Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 I sculpted this for my chapter master but it's slightly too big to use, damn.Nevertheless I learnt a lot so it's not a complete failure. http://img9.imageshack.us/img9/161/getahead.jpg Simple fix: Truescaling! That is a stupendous sculpt and they are one of the hardest sculpts to do well, so a lage cookie for you, my friend! Just keep trying at those sculpts and you'll get them perfect! :) Arenis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron Phoenix Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 truescaling actually requires, if anything, smaller (not larger) heads, but these are pretty great for a first shot :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hal Posted August 12, 2009 Author Share Posted August 12, 2009 Thanks for the comments everyone! For those interested I found this article to be a good starting point if you want to have a go yourself. Also my experience with 3d modelling is that a good texture can look good on a simple model so a lot of the fine detail is actually just pained on. Just keep trying at those sculpts and you'll get them perfect! Good advice, I'll certainly try! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
