Gladiator Sculpt WIP

KKolar

Update: I just got this shot from the guys making my print! I can't wait to get it, pretty happy with how it turned out.





Hey guys, I decided to try and tackle a realistic look alike, so here is the WIP. I couldn't think of a better candidate than Russell Crowe as Gladiator.
I'm quite new to this so any critiques/tips/comments would be awesome.

Right now I just have the general blockin. I will start doing the wrinkles and other small details next. I'm also thinking about adding his helm because that think is just too baddass.

KKolar

Hey guys, added some more details to the face, trying to get it looking a little more realistic. Still need to work on the hair a bunch, but its getting closer.

Crits and comments more thank welcome

KKolar

Added some skin direction detailing and other minor adjustments. Just need to work on the hair a little more and fine tune some of the details.

C&C always welcome

If he were to shut his mouth, it looks like he'd have a pretty pronounced underbite. Keep in mind where the jaw attaches when and rotates when opening a mouth like this.

The noise is too uniform and is detracting from your model. Ears generally aren't that porous, for instance.

There's something that looks a little off to me about the expression. I think the area around the eyes looks a bit too relaxed, maybe the top eyelid would pull up more. It might be worth trying to make this expression in the mirror to get some ideas.

Looking decent overall though, nice work.

KKolar

Thanks so much for the crit! I will get on those changes tonight, thanks again for the feedback.

KKolar

Hey guys, so I've made some pretty decent progress on him in the past few days so I thought I would give you an update.

He is really close to being done, all I have to work on is some detail in the armor, maybe fix his hair a bit, and finish his helmet.

I'm thinking of getting him printed for my graduation portfolio show in the next couple of weeks. Let me know what you guys think. As always crits are more than welcome.

KKolar

Only a couple more days before I send this guy in to be printed, so feedback would be sweeet... shameless bump.

chrisradsby

it's looking good to me good work!

KKolar

Thanks Chris! Awesome compliment for someone with your work quality.

I think this would look absolutely perfect if you changed the way the brow looked and the eyes to be more peeled, it looks like this ALMOST, but your brow seems too relaxed. Take a look at how soldiers look when they charge into battle

they squint their eyes, the brow makes a v shape.

DAMN, look at the commanders face when he yells to charge. that is strong reference.

KKolar

AWESOME feedback. That reference is perfect. I will play around with that a bit and update later tonight. Thanks for taking the time to put that together.

KKolar

Here is an update on some changes I made based on your feedback Deforges, thanks again!

Also i got some exciting news, I will have this bust 3d printed and in my hands next wednesday! I will update more when I get it, cheers!

scmanol

Those subtle changes make a huge difference! Very well done!

I would be careful about working with symmetry. So maybe work with adding a little more hair to one side of the beard, especially right below the lips and on the neck.

Looking great though! I think it will look awesome once it's 3D printed! xD

KKolar

Thanks scmanol! unfortunately I cant change anything for the print at this point but ill play with getting it less symmetrical for some more beauty shots.

I just got this shot from the guys making my print! I can't wait to get it, pretty happy with how it turned out.

The_Pixel

Wow! 3D print turned out really really nice!

KKolar

@The_Pixel Thanks man, I'm really impressed with the amount of detail they retained with it.

Luke_Starkie

Yeahh! Came out real nice. Who did you print with?

KKolar

@Luke_Starkie Thanks man,I did it with the people at ownage. Really happy with the way the handled everything, and I will probably work with them much more in the future.
