Half bust mini diorama(s)

[Calvin]

Not sure if it makes sense to make an half bust mini diorama, anyway I did it.

There are two different versions, this is the first setting

and the second (not finished yet), the hand you see is just a sketch

and this is the half bust, well a big head to be honest, based on a 2D artwork of Joe Madureira, it still needs a lot of adjustments

Luca, you know, that you are creating a new"Artform"? Your work looks more and more amazing as more as you are doing!

This Hulk Bust/Base/Diorama will look amazing and refreshing when finished!

Great work!

I like both settings Luca........curious to see the end result with the hand.

Luca,
For me, the second is the best. It conform for me more the strength of the Hulk. That incredebil strong monster.
This base does the work.

Both very interesting. The treatment of the type in the Legos (?) is very nice. I can't wait to see both. The Hulk does begin to look just a tiny bit "ape-like" at this stage, looking forward to seeing him come together!

Thanks to all for looking and for the kind words.

Yes Jay, he has sort of gorilla look. What I most liked of the original 2D artwork was just that strong and brutal look. This is the original drawing

and this a shot I took at a very early stage

As you can see, it is not a matter of perspective, also on the original drawing he has a very deformed head and back (shoulder). I enlarged a bit the ears and inclined some more the upper lip. He still needs a lot of work on the eyebrow to get the right expression. The main issue I foresee is about hair, very few and sparse, but giving so much to the whole look.

I love Lego

Hi Luca,
Great idea. I love the second base. And the use of the Logo blocks is just brilliant! :lol:
Looking forward to seeing more of this one soon.

The half bust is now finished

When done with the second setting I will post some more shots. Embedded into this page you can see a QT movie with a short animation of the bust mounted on the first setting (not so heavy, less than 1MB).

Luca,
VERY nicely done! The wrinkles around the eyes and forehead are perfect! Be sure to post up pics of this guy on his base, and when he getes some paint.

The "Triptych"

now I just need to find the time for the brushing moment...

 

[Sambaman]

Luca,
beautifully casted as usual! I can't wait to see these beauties with paint on 'em! You know... I thought I would like the one crashing through the wall the most, but now that I see them, there is something to be said about seeing him alone on the small pedestal. Don't get me wrong, they are all outstanding, there is just something about his isolation on the simple small pedestal that really makes his anger and presence stand out! Very cool stuff!

Ciao Luca,
veramente forte. Sono a dir poco impressionato dalle idee e realizzazioni che sforni ogni volta.
Volevo chiederti, per modellare le figure usi magisculpt e che altro?
mentre per realizzare gli elementi scenici usi sempre i bicomponenti con la solita tecnica, oppure con altri accorgimenti.
Mi piace moltissimo come hai realizzato l'ultimo pezzo per la Pegaso (il portone medioevale).
Grazie

Saluti

AAAAAhhhhhhhhhhhhh

OOhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh


Uuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii :lol:

Jay, to be honest the XS version with that pedestal looks a bit weird also to me, but seeing the bust in the flesh mounted on it has exactly the effect you pointed out, standing out the character. I did it thinking in a painted rendition like the Madureira artwork. I got an idea about how standing out even more that head, let see if it will work...

Maurizio grazie, a dire il vero ho fatto quasi tutto con l'Apoxie Clay della Aves, ho usato qualche rimanenza di Magicsulpt solo per svuotare il barattolino. Per le ambientazioni uso quello che mi capita a tiro, come il Lego per le lettere o lo Sculpey per la base della "M". Non riesco a fare tutto con lo stesso prodotto, se trovo una qualsiasi cosa che mi facilita la vita la uso senza pensarci troppo.

Stephan, yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhha :lol:
