Jackalwolf Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 So I definitely envisioned always Russ with beard. Not necessarily full blown but at least some, and seeing how similar the sculpt is to corax and several other primarchs I definitely want to make him a bit more different. Which beard styles you think he'd look better with? Here's what he's currently at: http://i1379.photobucket.com/albums/ah128/Grieux/Vlka%20Fenryka/485D1A5B-F7F7-4131-A9AF-3ACC195A9E99_zpskgcnszjc.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/327407-beard-styling-russ/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackalwolf Posted October 31, 2016 Author Share Posted October 31, 2016 Quick photoshop of what he'd look like with a bit more: http://i1379.photobucket.com/albums/ah128/Grieux/Vlka%20Fenryka/Russ%202_zps9xfd5hvn.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/327407-beard-styling-russ/#findComment-4549245 Share on other sites More sharing options...
1000 Sons Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 I'd go full Santa beard, embrace the Christmas legion. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/327407-beard-styling-russ/#findComment-4549251 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenaur Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 Definitely needs more, I'd go with a full beards perhaps a viking like one. I think he currently looks quite Amish in your sculpt.

Teetengee Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 full beard, tied/braided up in two strands? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/327407-beard-styling-russ/#findComment-4549295 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandlemad Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 The short logan look works. Maybe something braided (thinking Jack Sparrow here) coming out of his chin, swinging to convey the same kind of motion as his hair? EDIT: No idea how easy that would be to sculpt but there's braids that could be taken from the 40k plastic SW heads and 'woven in', essentially. Less is more, I think, it's worth keeping that relatively youthful Travis Fimmel/Ragnar Lothbrok warlord look.

Jackalwolf Posted October 31, 2016 Author Share Posted October 31, 2016 Haha yes, as he is now is only a WIP since with complex hair sculpting you need to work in layers to give it volume. I'm gonna check a Lothbrok beard braid because I might indeed leave it at that since I'm styling my wolves after the series.

Canadian_F_H Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 Personally. Long full beard with braids, googled "viking beard" was not dissapointed... Incidentally... something like valten would work imo. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/327407-beard-styling-russ/#findComment-4549443 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Memento Of Prospero Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 Or you can go with the ZZ-Top beard. All the roads lead to Terra. Most just take you to wild places on the way there, and sometimes more than once.

Calas Typhon Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 Could always go for something like a tied/knotted beard. Its not to wild like one would find with these "viking" beards, and it keeps with the Northern Germanic tribal theme the Wolves have going and does not take too much away from the models face if done right if that's what you are looking for.

Confused Word Bearer Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 I thought I'd seen Russ' FW art leaked online somewhere, but it looked like he had a very short and thin beard, as if he'd not shaved for a couple days. Wait, I think it was actually really convincing fanart. Can't remember where I saw it though? Also, I just remembered that Russ has never been depicted with facial hair in official art.

Ion Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 I rather like the wolverine style, but maybe a full viking beard would be cool too Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/327407-beard-styling-russ/#findComment-4549887 Share on other sites More sharing options...
foamy248 Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 I rather like the wolverine style, but maybe a full viking beard would be cool too ^this, I think. If you wanted to do a full-on nordic beard, maybe you could incorporate some plaits and braids into it? Sort of like a toned-down, much smaller version of this? http://www.beastsofwar.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Dwarf-Dragon-Slayer.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/327407-beard-styling-russ/#findComment-4550045 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 I'd like to get him at some point and not only add a beard but make a few other changes as well. I know he's never had facial hair in any of the art, but I always pictured him that way in my head.

Jackalwolf Posted November 1, 2016 Author Share Posted November 1, 2016 So finished setting up on full beard but well trimmed to sort of reminiscence a bit on Thor and reflect the "Young" Russ since eventually I want to make another version of him with 10,000 years more with full blown viking beard, one missing eye and grey hair. Quite happy but might trim it a bit more when it's fully cured:http://i1379.photobucket.com/albums/ah128/Grieux/Vlka%20Fenryka/AE4C37D6-2EE2-4799-9F93-5F23D0C48EFD_zpssgko8aui.jpgAlso, in the latest released official FW canvas he does have beard albeit quite short and stubbly: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/327407-beard-styling-russ/#findComment-4550224 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quixus Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 Don't trim the beard further. I think he is perfect as is. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/327407-beard-styling-russ/#findComment-4550363 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olis Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 Personally, I think it doesn't look quite right at that length.
