Thanks Bobby. The more I practice the more I'm finding my eye getting dialled in. Borg Queen was a pretty awesome experience for me, the least amount of fiddling about with forms back and forward. I'm able to get a lot more right first try. Even a couple of weeks ago this would have taken three or four days. As it turned out this one was about 3hours. I pissed about with the paintjob more than the actual sculpt.

Some process wips.

First rough using an old anatomy study as a starting point. Mouth on the original was open so I had to redo the lower jaw and tweak the cheekbones and eye sockets to match the subject. Eyes haven't been touched at this point so that's why they look totally wrong.


Second session, concentrating on secondary forms, fixed the eyes and trying to push some expression in there. Was about this point I noticed one of my refs had a huge bulging cranium (must have been a post fx process - none of the others had this). Considered going in this direction but decided to stick with a slightly elongated normal size skull.


Third session, more detailing, added some pipes and metalwork and whatnot. More detailing. Normally buy now I'd still be fucking around trying to the nose the right shape or some other stupid bullshit.


Last session, adding the shoulders and funky glowing spinal column and she's good to go


And then about 3 hours yesterday fucking around with shaders and textures in blender. I hate this so much but the results are just about worth it.

So I think I figured out what the Borg Queen saw in Picard. He had an artificial heart. Isn't that sweet? He was already "in process" before he got upgraded to Locutus, which I think means "one who talks". She gave him a little individuality and everything, but he said "nah, I'm a Federation man fo life". No wonder she got so salty and tried grinding on Data like he was just her usual flavor in  reverse.

This is yet another amazing bit of work P3nT.

Yay, so Ed the Head got me another staff pick on Sketchfab. The reputation economy - after my basic needs are met with a bit of breathing space, my life is devoted at present to gaining likes on media sharing channels. This currency rewards me with centuries of hardwired feelgood chemicals and is psychically fullfilling, whereas hard currency and it's aquisition feels dated and sub-optimal. Like we (as a species) should have improved on this bullshit by now.

In other news - I have 3-d printed one of my sculpts which is kind of a trip. Haven't painted something like this since brief flirtation with warhammer in my teens. Any advice would be much appreciated.



Also, this guy...

Did a remix of the dude I'm calling "Stamphead" on account of I wasn't happy wi the final image. Had to go in and photograph about 20 separate lighting passes then bang them all together in photoshop. Lot of work but I'm pretty satisfied with the results. Half the battle with these things is showing them off. Often takes longer than making the fuckers in the first place.

YOWZA! I took the kids to an anthropological museum today, and those faces are on par w/ all of the ancient shamanic sculptures we saw today  :fnord: :fnord: :fnord:

And the 3D print! Phenomenal! Seems like a major artistic threshold to cross. Being able to bring an object from your imagination into the real world. Pure wizardry!

Thanks Bobby! Yeah the 3-d print thing is a trip for sure. I've been toying with the idea of ordering up a bunch of sculpey and having a go at sculpting in meatspace but now I'm wondering if that's a just a whole bunch of muscle memory and technique I don't really need to to waste time learning.

My 9yo son is reading Frankenstein so I had him check out your model using google cardboard and he absolutely flipped his lid!  :fnord: :fnord:

One day there might just be an interface so precise that some of those reflexes could be quite handy..

That Stamphead fella gave me the full on body creeps. Nice work!
