Obbi's Sketchbook - 2009

[Santis]

African? Really? Dude, this is some alien-tribal-egghead you got going… I don’t think you do yourself a favor by entitling your bust as such, nor in taking such artistic license (unjustified) - try using references next time…
and one last thing, this may be just my pet-peeve, but minor tweaks shouldn’t really qualify as updates, try and wow us with something you sweated out, spare us the ‘here’s another shot from another angle with another shader tweak’ sort of posts… sorry if that was harsh, but you’re getting too many replies going ‘cool’ for your own good… good luck, -g

This is his sketchbook and it’s up to him how often he wants to update.
If you don’t like it, ignore it, at least give him some constructive crits, that was unnecessarily destructive, in my opinion.

Santis,

“harsh” is not destructive, and there’s a question of integrity, to subject matter as well as ‘personal’, see link for an example of both…

Otherwise, I stand by my rough constructive feedback, I mean, he’s got the goods, but he’s more revving than vrooming so to speak…

I agree with santis, guringo’s comments are detructive and unnecessary. Sometimes people on these forums forget that this is ART. If he wants the head to look that way then so be it, that’s his choice. If you wanna see scientific hyper realistic accuracy then go buy a medical book and stare at that. And posting “minor tweaks” is interesting to a lot of people, including myself. Good job on the bust!

Vince, you’re probably right, people do forget that this is about ART and how ART without INTEGRITY is irritably disingenuous and objectionably profane. Case in point, since my last visit, Obbie replaced the white face-painted ‘final’ with a less conspicuous new one. Noblesse oblige, anyone?

Secondly, this is not about ‘choice’, but resonance, nor do I subscribe to the feel-good-feedback school of politesse and conformology, so insofar as his work and presentation resonate with me, I may just be doing him a greater favor calling him out on his constrictive and hesitant and even ‘imitational’ “artitude”, of his choice and charter of rights etc, than by supporting the Dunning-Kruger Effect with yet another sympathy-biased ‘thumbs up’…

As for the title in question, (Obbie - African Tribesman, not -men), I find it a wee bit on the superfluous slope to portentous, whereas ‘Zorqian-Nativoid-with-or-without-Cranial-Thrombosis’ has that “hey, I’m having fun with this je ne sais quoi of mine”.

[dapharmer]

only issue i see is that the proportions of the legs seem off. for example… the knees are smaller then the guys hands and wrists… this being a big muscular demony guy it makes him look like he’s got weeeeee itty bitty women legs.

Awesome!
very beautiful character and realization!

[Saqib_hussain]
