My Plastecine Scrab :)

AvengingGibbons · #1 09-02-2010, 03:23 PM

Hello

. Inspired by Daf.Eng's scrab model using Sculptris, I decided to try modelling a scrab myself, using plastecine.
I wish I had started modelling it in clay as then I could have painted it afterwards... so I'm going to make a cast/mould of this plastecine model (don't yet know how :S) once I'm finished, and somehow end up with the model made from clay, so I can get it fired and then attempt to paint it.. let us know what you think

This is just to show you how big it is (the model as it is now is just under 2 inches tall):

That's neat. You're pretty skilled when it comes to shaping things, I'm horrible at that. Can't wait to see the finished result!

Very nice work! I used to be a little nifty with making sculptures myself, however that was more along the lines of buildings and architecture, opposed to critters.

Its impressive stuff though; do you make a lot of them?, and this was just an accidental decision regarding whether to have started from clay or not, or is this one of your first works?!

I only had plastecine left from when I was a kid. never attempted making anything like this before, it's sort of my first attempt, if u disregard a little clay head I quickly modelled sometime a couple years ago.
Thanks for the compliments guys

How did you sculpt that? Tooth pick? A*

AvengingGibbons · #7 09-03-2010, 12:17 PM

Ha, no.. I wouldn't have been able to do this with a toothpick... I used some kind of scalpel-like tool. A steady hand is definitely required too!

Pleased to see i inspired you *sheds a tear*
It's looking great, you've got the shape down and some really nice detail done, i hope you're going to carry this on

I just saw that: On second photo (with modeled chest), the name is "SRAB chest v1". Anyway I wanna buy it :P

That's a very nice torso

It's looking fantastic guy. You're probably a direct descendant from DI Vinci or someone ... Meh, but I'm naturally talented. Nah, it's cool, man. I can't sculpt for shit

RyuuFox · #15 09-06-2010, 10:47 PM
