1.16.22 - Sculpt progress on Star Wars: Dark Times (Dark Horse Comics) Dass Jennir and Falco Sang along with my first sculpt update on the "OG" bounty hunter, Skorr from the classic Marvel comic strip The Bounty Hunter of Ord Mantell. All 1:18 scale.
Holidays are over, the decorations are stored, time to get back to work.
Sculpt progress on Dass Jennir. I finished the first set of variant forearms that are connected by the magnets seen in my last update. Strong attachments, as if they were jointed. The second variant will have the forearms wrapped as they appeared when Jennir rode his steed. I also worked on building up the chest sculpt a bit, adding a loosely fitted collar to the shirt. Added some more hair to the head sculpt and began working on a hood/head combo that will work independently from one another rather than being a single, static sculpt.
Also worked on Jenir's steed. The sculpt as seen here in the photos will need a complete rework with the exception of the head and horns. The entire body needs to be thinned out, the neck especially. The neck also needs to be elongated and the center articulation cut removed. I never liked that and it serves no purpose. I think the body is ok...just too thick, muscular. Nothing wrong with some definition but right now the body is looking too much like a Clydesdale.
Falco Sang progress. Started sculpting the upper body and arms of the figure. I'm not sure if the character's "sneaking suit" contained a texture? In the comics, it's a flat black. I took a little artistic license and added a subtle texture to the bodysuit. When painted, I think it will make the figure much more interesting to look at. Also sculpted one of the shoulder guards. Not sure how it will connect to the figure at this point. I'm looking at some clear or black elastic mini bands to go over the shoulder. I want a free range of movement, that's for certain. Finally, I worked a bit more on Falco's unmasked head sculpt. Sanding down the scalp and sculpting ears. I plan on sculpting his hair this week. I also need to begin working on his doid, Ize.
The true "OG" bounty hunter. Before Boba, there was Skorr - the Bounty Hunter of Ord Mantell. You've seen the head sculpt before - I sculpted that back in 2011 I think? It needs a little work to bring it up to the standards I have now. Back then I was having issues learning to blend layers of epoxy at this scale. If you zoom in on this sculpt, you will see where layers ended and new layers began. Some simple sanding and resculpting will bring the head to sculpt up to date so expect a better look coming soon. The body is a dremeled down Spartan figure from Boss Fight. Nothing modded yet. I'm sure I will replace the neck joint and add more articulation but this will be the frame of choice. Gathered all the source images I could find so I hope to begin having better updates for you all in the immediate future.
Bonus! I'll be sculpting his sidekick "Gribbet" who is a Rybet bounty hunter and whose species ironically appears in the Dark Horse series! I've included a panel image showing the creature standing near Dass Jennir.
That's it for this week! Hope to have more to show you next week - if anything, just an image or two to show progress. Will be needing to purchase new molding and casting material for replications soon.
Thanks again for your continued interest in my work! I appreciate all the comments and critique you've given me!
