WIP Critique Le Boudin

Nice work, Simon!

Cheers Steve, like I said to David though he needs reworking.

[David Spencer]

Thanks for that, I'm going to do some reworking on the figure though as I'm not entirely happy with him, how drastic I don't know yet.

Belgium was nice but damn cold, the beer is always good though.

Maybe his arms could adopt a little more swing, to represent marching/walking?

Yes he definitely needs something, I thought as he's supposed to be singing a drink or just a pipe might be nice.

Right I'll get straight into it, I wasn't happy with the pose of this fella. He was too tall, he looked wooden and just simply uninspiring. Therefore;



A bit drastic may be but it had to be done, the worst bit was snapping the peak of the kepi as it took about 3 or 4 sessions to get right. Superglue to the rescue so that turned out well enough.

He now has his head tipped back a bit making the fact he is singing a bit more obvious. His left arm is a little more relaxed and his right arm is more animated. The legs are repinned and with a more relaxed stance. Lots of work to do to make good the changes but he looks better, well I think so at any rate.



Hope you all like it cos I'm not changing it again!

Wow, that was brave, but if you weren't happy, it was the right thing to do.
The pose is much better.

Malc

 

[Malkie]

You have certainly succeeded in making him more animated, like you I am rarely satisfied with the finished figure. I don't consider myself anything of a perfectionist just someone who would like to get it right.

I prefer this last version, well done simon. You see, I put a crying smiley for fun when you mentioned that France lost....

 

[Briggsy]

Malc and Malkie, many thanks gents I feel happier with him now, still got a fair bit of patching up to do but it's better than not enjoying it.

Thank you Bran. Yes I saw your emoji, it was a good game and both teams deserved the victory, when a game comes down to one point you know you have been entertained. Mind you with Ntamack and Dupont you are a hard team to beat. So until next time!
