[PrasadPosam]

Thanks for the simple tutorial

[James_W_Cain]

dopepope - Thanks so much mate, I’m very fond of your creature sculpts, it’s always nice to hear from you!

boozy floozie - Thankyou!!! Ah they’re nice chaps really so I don’t mind spoiling them

dirkrulz - You’re welcome, it’s quite an old technique now but it works for 90% of circumstances.

Some new 54mm scale work for Judgement table top game. This one was quite a challenge as I had to fit 2 characters on the base, but had fun using nanomesh and insert mesh bruses for the ivy on the walls.
Also the first time I tried out Booleans for optimising and production cut ups which worked really well!

A beautiful job on these James .
All fabulous , full of rich details and energy
The flow in the round on the last piece is superb

[James_W_Cain]

Thanks boozy, every one has been a challenge in its own way so I learnt lots too! I’m really looking forward to seeing the prints and casts of everything, I’ll post them up here when they’re done

Based on Sergey’s work perhaps but highly recognizable still as a James W Cain piece by the thumbnail

A face like a crumpled bed sheet - wonderful effect.
The form planes of the face with the smaller rhythmic and weaving planes of the skin surface are most delicious.

May I ask good Sir how you are achieving such an effect in the rhythmic planes of the skin surface?
Myself I would build up the relief and transitions and dab down with a large hard polish to accentuate the planar changes.

[James_W_Cain]

Hey Boozy Thanks, I love these Dishonored concepts because its so nice to explore planes and forms within the sculpts. Apparently my girlfriend think this one is future grumpy me which I think is really unfair (but the eyebrows are pretty close) !

In terms of technique, i go from large to small forms using claybuildup, smooth and dam standard to build, smooth and pull out forms, this way I come up with a ‘design’ for the planes and rhythms . Then I use the clay brush, trim dynamic and dam standard to further smooth and explore. Hope that makes sense!

[boozy_floozie]

Eyebrows that will add the air of gravitas in your maturity are a blessing Sir.

Thanks for your reply on technique - with hammer saw and nails , one may build a rickety bird house or a fine mansion. All is in the touch and application - evidently you are blessed with both.

Kind regards,
Boozy
