Completed What is your opinion

[silviug2009]

I saw some of Boris Vallejo realease, and i was very impressed....so I try to create myself a sculpture based on his picture. I say I try, I don't say I succeed .
But, my opinion is not enough for me, so I wait for your opinion, sugestion, critics and so on
I dont' use a specific scale, just I try to reproduce the image (height 13cm, lengh 8,5cm)


Thank's

Wow!!! The musculature of the human half is awesome, I love the abdominals, chest and arms. The muscles of the back are also well picked out but maybe a bit over done, by this I mean too defined, I guess it doesnt really matter on a fanstsy piece. Love to see where you go from here.

Thanks Ben.
It's the first time when I try to sculpt a horse body, and unfortunally, lack of experience have a strong word on what I create. Armature was wrong , (legs to short, back of horse is much larger then front...) so result is uncomplete (problem are even with human body, of corce) . But i will not modify this, I want to keep for see what is wrong....for the future
Thanks again for your opinion.

Maybe I can help you with the horse.

First, you need to find a good photo or two of a real horse close to the same position, that will help you get the proportions right. The chest needs to be larger as well as the heart girth (the ribs right behind the front legs). Trim down the belly and the back hips extensively.

That will get you started, if you like when I get home from work, I can pull one of the photos into an editor and draw lines to show you what I mean.

But keep going, you're definitely off to a great start. Some changes here and there on the horse and you'll have a great sculpt!!!!

ETA: Woops, just read your last post, okay if you don't want to make changes, no worries.

Many thanks!!! I appreciate very much your help, because I don't have anythink who can guide me in horse sculpting. I have scale human template, (for 5.4cm, 7.2 and 9) but in horse domain, nothing.
Maybe you can "draw" me a direction in sculpting horse on scale 1/32 for example. How can I reduce horse dimension for that scale....I think a horse on scale 1/32 is higher than a male....or i'm wrong?
Anyway, thanks again for your help!

I'll do my best to help but I don't understand 1/32 is higher than a male?

In the model horse hobby we have models that are 1/32 scale, they are called Stablemate Scale for the most part.

The best of course is to take measurements from a real horse. If you don't have access to one, a good photo will work. You want to find one that is straight on from the side.

I have a website bookmarked that is an excellent reference for where you want to measure. Hilary is a wonderful equine artist. Click here.

Do you have calipers? Once you get the measurements, even using a photo, it's just a matter of doing the math to get it to 1/32 scale.

I'm going to use one of your photos and see if I can draw some lines to give you a better idea. It won't be to scale because that will take forever but it will give you angles and a better idea of proportions. Take a look at that link and we'll go from there.

Cheers,
Karrie

Very very very useful information you give me Karrie....many thanks!!!

 

[kathrynloch]

You're very welcome! If you have any questions, please let me know. I'm going to have to wait on the pictures. I'm on my laptop right now and all I have is the touch pad. I cannot draw on the touch pad. lol! My horse was looking more like a dog.

I'll be on my desktop tomorrow and will be able to do better and draw out the lines for you. Okay?

Cheers,
Karrie

Pokrad....this is what i want! Thanks alot! Very usefull tutorial.

Check that forum for more themes about horses, and Mr. Zlobov is an expert for horses. It is a small problem that most of it is the russian, but themes are self-explanatory...so say thanks to Mr. Zlobov

 

[silviug2009]

I know mr.zlobov (i'm very impressed by his work) site, but or this tutorial is new, or becouse site are russian, i didn't search very deep in it. But i see in bottom of page are an option for english version, so will be more easy for me to understand. Anyway, thanks for both of you (for him, because of his work, and for you, becouse you send me the link)

 

[kathrynloch]

Cool site! I bookmarked it too! lol! I just popped in to say I'm still working on your horse picture, Silviu it's taking me longer than I thought it would and I keep getting pulled away from it. But with this site, I'm not sure you need it now. That's a great reference Darko, thank you for posting it!
