I guess there are just some parts that do not match the mental picture I had in my head of the figure at that time.~Gary
I think that's the key - I find myself in the same boat fairly often too. Sometimes though, I find that months later when I look at the figure again I've lost that original "image" I had envisioned and I like the final product much better than I had before. I notice the things I actually did right rather than immediately focusing in on the stuff I didn't like.

Francesca, Not only did I look at the pictures again, but I looked at the figure and there are some things I feel that I managed to do better on this time around than I did on previous projects. Though I appreciate the kind words, I still disect everything I do, and I'm especially harsh on myself if something that should be simple does not look right. Thanks for your thoughts.~Gary

That's all it was - a personal thought. Keep going til you are happy I say! :)
 
Hello Gary,

I missed this thread altogether. Just caught up today.

Don't let the small details upset you. Despite the apparent simplicity, this is an ambitious pose. The key word in this kind of pose is BALANCE and I have to admit that you've got it perfectly. (y)

As for keeping the original mental image, consider yourself lucky because it happens frequently that my sculpts take up a life of their own and change the subject before I know it! :lol:

Again, BRAVO!

Quang, Thanks. The same thing happens to me too. Unless I'm doing a portrait figure (rare) I let the face evolve on it's own. Sometimes I get surprising results, other times the face does not fit the attitude of the figure.~Gary
 
Hello Gary,

just registered as a member on this forum and saw this. What a potentially great figure. I presume this has been completed?
