It's going to look great.

Plus the nostrils need to go down the muzzle a bit more. I'm going to try to heat up the clay with a blow dryer first so that it's pliable and not crumbly. Can't wait to do this. It'll have to wait until Monday though.

:(

It was an extreme cut but I think you are on the right track. The nose was extended a little too far forward.

[jessica]

Nose surgery failed today. I may have to re-do. Oh well.

I didn't get to finish him...still tweaking, but he's one of the sculpts I worked on today. The other one was for Sharry which I will paint up tomorrow.



this is how he looks with a cigar:


and here's the headsculpt without the makeup. I had to cut off his nose and some of his eyebrows:

If you don't stop messing w/ those beautiful sculpts, I will come to El Sobrante and kick your butt!

Now all they need are bodies and cool ape clothes!

[jessica]

Thanks guys. When I look at these, I see all the flaws. Just think how much better they could be 2 or 3 years from now. Maybe by then I will be good enough to just start with a ball of clay and presto, instant headsculpt. It can only get better with more practice.

Those look terrific, Jess... Beautiful.

Honorius is my fave.

Know what's crazy, Thomas? In about 2 or 3 years from now, I will probably resculpt everything (all the apes I have sculpted) all over again.

I reworked his hair:

You can't improve on perfection

[jessica]

You are way too harsh on yourself. On the other hand tho, the reworked sculpt looks fantastic

Jessica he looks awesome! I hope you make some of these available in mego size. They would sell like hot cakes!

I'm an animal psychologist, not a head shrinker! Kidding...I'll have to try. It's just that it's not that easy as sculpting.

Tweaking!


He has a lot of subtle changes in emotion throughout the trial scene, but many of them look stupified.
