Experiment with perspective while simultaneously ignoring perspective... And pointy ears (the first version had long hair and didn't look right)  By albinobikersProbably 2 ladies to finish the group. A young close combat one and an older brainy one. I need sleep!  |

Hey spacejacker! Now THAT is an interesting fig! I really like how you've used perspective and didn't use perspective all at the same time! It almost has a 3D feel to it... which I like  Curious how the back side will look. Again, glad you found us! onemonkeybeau |

Looks great. I might add a "twist" to his right boot to make it view more directly, less side view. I've rewritten that last sentence three times and it still doesn't make much sense. His right boots needs more of a front view and less of a side view; you could just add a "toe" line to show the front of his boot. Does that make sense?

His right boots needs more of a front view and less of a side view; you could just add a "toe" line to show the front of his boot. Does that make sense? A rule of thumb I used when sculpting in the old days was that people usually stand with their feet at an angle to each other rather than parallel. Two things show a figures direction: which way the eyes are looking, and which way the feet are pointing. For figures firing a gun or bow, I would always point the leading foot in the direction of the shot, with the knee straight, and the trailing foot at right angles to the line of fire, with the knee slightly bent, and the weight shifted slightly back onto the rear leg. Does that help? Have fun! Steve [edit] After referring back to your drawing, it would appear the figure is firing at about a 45 degree angle to its left, but its right foot is pointed all the way to the left. Its right toe is rotated past the direction of fire. Oh, by the way, I really like these figures and intend to build some when they come available. They're a refreshing change from a certain large company's space marines. |
