New year, fresh energies!
🕑 Added 2021-01-13 22:07:09 +0000 UTC'Allo folks, and welcome to 2021! Everyone alive and well, yeah?
Right now I'm burning most of my brainpower on building/improving production machinery for the workshop, but I couldn't resist side-projecting a new face. Modelling during work-meetings is zen'y cyberloafing, y'know!
This is a fun example for many reasons - snagged a reasonably well-sculpted 3d-model of Jennifer Lawrence, and did a quick-fit. A bit of jawline re-sculpting and minor nose-bridge thickening to fit my nose tip, but the rest fit surprisingly well out of the box. The challenge look-wise will be the lips - as you can see, there's a bit of delta there. It'll look fine if I keep my mouth shut, but opening will easily go a bit uncanny as there's _way_ more material there than an observer would expect. We'll see how it goes, the entire sculpt is still WIP - I'll finish it during the next series of no-visual-stuff-needed workmeetings :p
Frankly though, the suitwork's getting to the point where my face-game is the next on the fixlist. I think the current foam stuff is good, but I always have that nagging sense of "I'm not quite sure if this'll work well or fail in weird ways" when I make them. The way around that is to practice, practice and practice. I suspect the printers will run hot for most of february for new and/or updated face molds, and then a marathon foam casting session or two.
Tbh, this is one of those times when I'm glad I do this digitally - I mentioned in the FB post that work on the production machinery needs focus, and I can do that while the printers chug on a week-long queue of daytime-loafed face molds :)

Been on my "people i'd love to have perfects suits of"-list for ages :p It'll probably take a whole bunch of attempts before it looks OK enough with natural paint. Still, woopwoop happy I found a model that carries the look!
no name
can’t wait for this one to be done
