Reply To: BC1-1808 Homework, Ken Claassen
@cptken Once again you swung for the fences this week, Ken! Go big or go home. You and Aaron are inspiring us all. A fully detailed, realistic character sculpt, posed, with clothes, and with details down to individual teeth – that’s a huge undertaking. I’m impressed you made it this far into the project.
Some anatomy feels a little off. Notably her right hand (grasping the spear) seems too small and the pose feels a little stiff. I think it’s in the joints that give a slight impression of being separate body parts rather than a interwoven limbs. Sorry, I know that’s a vague note and I’m trying to figure out how to word it better. But take the neck for example: The anatomy of the twisted neck parts could be better defined, emphasize the underlying bone/muscle structure that enables the neck to turn this way. Here’s a photo to help illustrate what I mean:
But I think this note could be applied to all joints where they feel less defined and the underlying bone/muscle structure isn’t emphasized completely. So the end result is something close to a posed action figure rather than a 100% realistic human body.
Don’t get the wrong impression from the wall-o-text feedback. Your anatomy is like 75-80% correct imo – I’m only critiquing the remaining 20-25%. So it’s ultimately a fantastic sculpt! Clearly you’re a gifted sculptor and I’m just trying to push you that much further.
You’ve made a big splash these past 2 weeks. I’m really looking forward to seeing where you take your skills. A++ this week, Ken 👏
