Wow. Yeah, it does look a little pitiful in those pics. I sculpted the Solar piece. Man, it looks different than it did when I last had it (The face?). I dunno what happened. Paints?? Hmm....
First off- no offense to DF, but I don't care for those promo shots.
Everything is washed out and you can't really see detail. But also, they have him tilted too much, making him look more awkward. I wasn't too crazy about the choice of pose, but since pics can be a little misleading....Ahh.... Anyway.... In a nutshell, I would have liked to do it differently. A more interesting pose, etc..
Here are a couple of shots that show him better, including a study shot of the actual sculpt. Another thing I realized is that it's a little tricky to sculpt faces to look completely faithful to BWS without looking odd. His faces are sort of nondescript in a way....I love BWS' style, though. I like the piece, but it's one of those situations where I wish they had let me sculpt another pose (Like the case of the little Punisher jumping off roof I did for them- NOT the best choice of Mike Zeck Punisher art, I think) So here ya go, for what it's worth. As you can see, not quite so pitiful in these pics...
Thanks- Rick Force~
