The Day That Shook The World

[btavis]

I think the ability to use a digital camera on the fly and get instant feedback is probably one of the most useful things to me. Coupled with making adjustements in PS has really helped me a lot.

Bob, That's where PS and a background in illustration comes in handy. You can alter things in 2D and then go back and add them to the 3D version. What a great tool.~Gary

Maybe one of these days I will be able to totally visualize in 3D and stop relying on 2D images. Too many years of habits to break

Here is a picture with Gavrilo's arms adjusted.

And here is everything so far in context.

Awesome Bob..........I enjoy seeing you build your scene.......keep up the great work

Giddy-up. It's looking real good Bob. The reposition of the arm is a definite improvement.

It pays to listen to good advice.

Bob,

I have to agree with the others, this is going to be really nice! I thought the last one was really good but I think this one is going to be better! Keep up the good work.

Joe

Bob, agreed, the repositioned arms are big improvement. Overall, it's looking good

What a great experience as I also recently got some good feedback from Mike Good on my sculpting. Per John Cheeseman and Mike Good I think Gavrilo is coming along nicely though not quite there yet. I thinned down both of his legs, gave his knees more definition and lengthened his right pants to overhang a bit on his shoe. I am sanding more and defining the folds a little more. The reason he has paint on him is so I can see the mistakes better and for sanding it gives me a better indication of how much to remove and where.

Sorry for indulging y'all with so many pics but the comments have been most beneficial to my progress so here goes.

I indicated in this picture with yellow boxes two areas I feel are still wrong as they are too bulky so I will probably trim down some more.

One of the things I am becoming more conscious in sculpting is the overall flow of the clothing relative to the pose. I made a quick overlay on one picture to give a sense of what I mean.

Personally, I get a better sense of the animation of the pose if these flow lines follow some cohesive pattern. It seems to add to the dynamism as well. Jeesus, I am starting to sound like Alex Castro

Looking great Bob!

No, I don't think you are. Now if you said you were going to revolutionize sculpting and change every sculptors way of thinking...well, then maybe :lol:

 

[John Long]

Bob, that looks like it's right out of the Hogarth book. Since I've been sculpting I've really become amazed at how one fold/wrinkle will affect all the others. You've done a good job with the flow and animation so far.

Everybody should get that book.
