WIP Ashley Williams ME3 1:9

[Archelaos]

Hello!

I'd like to show you my last sculpt - Ashley Williams from Mass Effect game series

What do you think?

Fantastic bit of sculpting!

Cheers,
Jon.

Let's see more! I haven't tried ME3 yet but it sure looks good

 

[Archelaos]

It took a long time, but finally I can show some progress.
All the details on the front of chest armour more or less finished, now I'm detailing sides (left is more finalised)

I'll experiment with hair - photos show plasticine sketch of old style (ME1&2) bun (professional military style )
Will check how ponytail looks (basing on some concept art) and maybe also official ME3 style, though I think it will cover too much of chest detail, and besides this, while it looks nice, I'm not sure Ashley' (as described in ME1&2) would even imagine going to combat with loose hair .

Looking very nice, what type of clay/wax are you using? Still have to play ME3

 

[gordy]

Excellent work

 

[Illa]

Amazing modelling!

I haven't played too. The ending puts me off a bit, and I'm not sure my PC is strong enough.

I'm using miliput standard and greenstuff (knedatite). Basework is usually clean miliput, small details from GS while majority of sculpting is done in mix of them (aprox 2 parts of MS to 1 part of GS)

Slowly going forward:

looks nice

Wow this is really shaping up into a great figure! Will you have it produced as a kit?

Thanks

Long time has passed since I updated this thread... But I finally almost finished Ashley

I need to finish the bun (and maybe some small fixes), but beside this I think it is ready.

Man this turned out great. The weapon looks fab but it's maybe overshadowed by how good that left hand is

This may be only something another sculptor would notice but the subtle change on the profile of the upper lip has made a bit difference to my eyes, was going to suggest something along those lines. It's hard to tell from these last pictures, but did you lose a bit of the symmetry on the cheeks? The left cheekbone looks like it might project a little less than the right.

Trying to figure out what you used for the sides of the chest armour, is that a found material or did you laboriously make it by hand?

Finally, finished Ashley's hair, especially bun. It took me some time to figure out how it looked on the photos (?) used by Bioware's artists during creation of a game model, but I hope now it is close enough.
