[LotR] The Son of Gondor

[MinasTirithGuard]

Here's a new project I'm working on. He stands about 60mm tall and is made from epoxy putty. I'm concerned about the cloak fit, I am afraid he looks like a hunchback. I am going to try to extend his hair in the back, that might help. Please point out any proportional issues, there are probably alot. I intend to finish him by Saturday morning but want to have him as good as possible. Thanks alot!

Ethan, Nice to see you around. I would completely redo the hood on the cloak. I think what gives him the hunchback look is too much material being used on the hood. Doing all or part of a figure over is hardly ever fun, but worth the effort to get the best results.~Gary

very nice

what is the material your sculpting with?

I'm using Aves Apoxie Clay for the tunic, (I should have used A+B I think, it carves better) A+B for the head and sleeves, and Duro for the chainmail.

@Gary, hey there, I just busted off the hood and I am using the old cloak as a mold to form a fresh sheet of putty over. Hopefully I can make a smoother one with a better fit. Thanks guys!

yes is there is too much putty in the cape because there should be no gap between the body and cape.
