MY LATEST 1/6 HEADS SCULPTS

Lupo.sculpts wrote:Thanks for your help guys :-)

Thank you for being so welcoming towards the feedback! These sculpts will be EPIC and I can't wait to see them printed/cast!

Hey guys,
:-)
I've been working also on the update of my 1/4 figure these days and other stuff (last pic)
I continued looking for the best likeness
What do you think?
I'll make a print of the 1/4 today so I will see if everything looks good and enhance the details for the 1/6

Beautiful!!!
I'm reeeaaaally looking forward to seeing this printed!

Me too!!!

Very cool!      
Like Diana, I would love to see pictures of the 3D print.
Will you offer the 1/6 sculpt for purchase later?

If I find enough people to make a limited run and finance the project yes. :-)
I mean here and outside this Forum, I guess in FB I can find some more people interested in a nice Natalie Portman headsculpt

Very nice indeed.

Beautiful work, Lou.

Thank you guys  

Looking forward to see the printed head, and I hope you do offer this and the Anakin heads for purchase in future. : )

Hey guys! Happy Easter for who believes and happy Sunday to everybody!
Just here to say I am still alive (eheh) and I've been working silently.
I printed a test of Padme but couldn't really see the nice details so I am waiting for the delivery (I believe next week) of my new 8k mini printer. (Also I printed the head a little bit too small).




A little more luck with the 1/4 bothered expression for the custom statue.






And I've been working on Anakin ep 2.

Your opinion as usual is always welcome! :-)

The last two image links are broken for me, but Padme looks great already!! I am looking forward to seeing the 1/6 high resolution print.

They both are looking really good. You've really captured NP's lip shape ....I've never seen a Padme headsculpt that got it quite right before. Great job!

The Anakin is very adorable. It's so refreshing to see the AotC version of him. Just thinking aloud that it might appeal to a wider array of people if you offer both a 'neutral' and an 'angry/intense' version , just like with the RotS sculpt. I myself prefer to have options for less 'angry' expressions, mainly because I like to do romantic or light-hearted scenes, rather than just Dark Side type poses, but I know many collectors seem to prefer the 'angry' look. I mention this not to push you to do anything one way or another, but just as a suggestion to (hopefully!) help you sell many heads. :'D

The 1/4 printout of NP/Padme looks great.

The Anakin-head is also developing nicely. In the frontal view the skull feels a little wide to my eyes ( because of the ear positioning?). Overall, really great work!

I agree, Padme came out extremely well, instantly recognizable, capturing whatever it is that defines the actress' look.

You think is the skull? Sure is not the hair?
Also part is caused by the percentage of perspective I used.
I will be sure once I print it.
Every time I printed something that looked perfectly correct the print came out very narrow.
it is a bit tricky this thing in Zbrush. Now I learned the lesson and this is with a very let's say low perspective. It is not a complete lack of perspective but it is not strong. So you see the ears distant.
Look at the Anakin that HT made...that had great perspective problems.
For sure they used a strong perspective.

Will see once I print it.

Thank you for your always constructive suggestions!

Do you see that as a neutral not aggressive Ep 2 Anakin?
or you mean I should make it less aggressive than that?

I’m pretty sure she means as another alternative (1 angry, 1 neutral).

Yes I understood. Two options but I see the one I showed not so aggressive compared to something like this for example





I don't know if you see these images as my preview is not showing me anything

What am I doing wrong?

I didn't realize you were a She. So am I :-) You are not the only one that would like to see something more romantic eheh
I am also working on Padme with black dress (the scene by the fire place)!
So that would be a very cute couple.
I would show you if I'd manage to post some image but I think I need to update something in my Mac as I can't seem to upload images.
I don't think many would be interested in a sweet Anakin though...

The images are displaying fine for me.

The Anakin head looks great. I agree his face in these pictures seems rounder than the actor's face, but as you say that might be due to perspective.

The only thing I noticed was, that the actor actually seems to have an uneven chin. The side with the mold (his right) is slightly bigger, which I think is not unimportant in capturing his look.

Chin, nose and whole face are very uneven. If you take one of his pictures and invert it orizontally you would do this

I am doing that, but don't want to exaggerate

Anyway that characteristics (flaws) are in my opinion what the other sculptor did wrong. Mostly they made a symmetrical face.

I don't even see the image you posted

I don't know if it's some problem in my Mac

So you can see these? You see the uneven chin here? these are all wips
Also one eye is higher that the other

Strange. Normally I am the one with image display problems, but that's due to the firewall on my work computer.
This is the image I posted: https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/starwars/images/3/3b/Anakin-OP.jpg/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/704?cb=20080412231247

YES! Perfect!

Now I see the images again...
Fun fact: I realized that this image so famous is in reality flipped...I mean, I don't know why but the production used these footage inverted (maybe they thought that his right half of the face was more menacing?).
You can see that the chin and the nose are uneven but in the wrong direction.
They painted the scar in the opposite side of the face.
The hair in his forehead is going in the wrong direction.
also there is a missing mole in the left part of the chin as in reality the image being flipped it is covered in the right side.

Nice catch on the flipped image! Things like this start to be obvious after you stare at someone's face for so long.

And yes, I am a 'she'. :'D  I am a die-hard 'fangirl' and love Romance. You are right that probably no one but me would like a 'sweet' Ani.

The facial expression you have for him in the above image looks really good, actually. Not too sweet, not too angry. Just right.

Good eye, which comes as no surprise given your skills as an artist. For what it is worth, Lucas is notorious for flipping images when it suited him. There are scenes on the deck of Star Destroyers in The Empire Strikes Back that until a recent special edition had all the officers with their badges on the wrong side of their chest -- because the frames were all flipped. I am almost surprised this happened to frames in the Prequel Trilogy (would have thought Lucas would have had more foresight by then), but I guess I shouldn't be surprised...
