July 2, 201213 yr Hi mates!! Two years ago, "talking" with Aether about a few custom guyver figures i have in my collection, this post came out: http://www.japan-legend.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif[/img]:.' date='21 July 2010 - 01:13 AM' timestamp='1279671182' post='57485'].....i make my models from the beginning to the end and don't use already existing models... i wonder what your process of making models is then?? i think you should make your own guyver model thread and let us know how you do it ...you could put your future guyver projects up aswell and update it to let us see how you are going?? Well, for a long time i had to stop my handcrafting passion, but i'm back and i'm working right now on a figure again, so i decided to share my work with you!! Stay tuned then!!!
July 2, 201213 yr Great! look forward to seeing your current work, and if you have any older stuff let us see it.
July 5, 201213 yr Author Hi Aether!!! Nice to see u again!! i'll post some older stuff soon, for now i'll share with you guys the very first step in the new thing i'm doing, wich unfortunately turned out as a complete fail... But since i told i wanted to share the "entire process", i'm going to share even the sh***y part... Here we go with the head sculpting fail:
July 5, 201213 yr Author I don't like some proportions (spikes on the sides, shape of the upper part of the head and how the beam socket is placed (doesen't look part of the head, it seems more something placed there...))... Plus, it resembles Aptom, but when i first saw him in his omegablast form, i remember i clearly saw bio freezer in his shapes as well, thing that doesn't appened when i looked at this sculpt... That's why i consider it a fail... Anyway i'm already on the second try, here's the work done so far: It seems to be really too much "toothy", but in real life it does'nt look so, that's because the pic is enormus but it's real size is 10 millimeters, and i think i'm happy with it now!

July 5, 201213 yr Hi P! well, thats a great project to start back with!! Omegablast Aptom. if the headsculpt and your quality control is anything to go by it should come out well. i can understand you wanting to get it just right. i think the more customs you do you get a feel for what you can achieve and the more you do the better you can achieve. i havent made anything like this before. in the past i have made some modifications to a few things. but never made anything from scratch, and none of them Guyver related. btw what are your plans for the body?? is it in scale with the BFC max figures??
July 5, 201213 yr Oh I see! it is omegablast! I was looking at the side 'fins' or 'ears' or whatever they are... and they looked like full blast mode. now i see why you were unhappy with it. it is still really cool and looks completely like aptom. the new version also looks really cool
July 6, 201213 yr Author i can understand you wanting to get it just right. i think the more customs you do you get a feel for what you can achieve and the more you do the better you can achieve. You got the point mate!! .... btw what are your plans for the body?? Well, i'm trying to find a simple and fast way to get the body done, it's pretty hard to understand how all those "layers" of "insectoid armor" are wrapped around him (i'm using the datafile as reference) so i think i'll try to get all the body from neck to knees (without arms, that i'll do after) in a single sculpted chunk, hoping everything goes well is it in scale with the BFC max figures?? I always try to do every figure in scale (and same detail level) with BFCs (even if i don't make posable figures), the previous head sculpt was too big (another poin that made me go for another sculpting session...), but the new one is perfect!! Oh I see! it is omegablast! I was looking at the side 'fins' or 'ears' or whatever they are... and they looked like full blast mode. now i see why you were unhappy with it. it is still really cool and looks completely like aptom. the new version also looks really cool Yes, the fins were only a "bone structure" for the giant "omegablast ears" and the spikes! I'm really happy you guys like what i'm doing!! Thanx for your support!!!
July 9, 201213 yr Author It's still wrong, but i'm getting it better!! A few fixes and i'll get what i want!
July 19, 201213 yr Author Thanx Cannibal!!! Here we go with a little update! The two crappy side fins are placed there only to have the idea of the entire thing, i think i'm mostly done with the "face": I've also dona a little photoshop coloration, really basic, just to see if it seem like it has to: What do you guys think? Like it?
July 26, 201213 yr [quote name=.:.' timestamp='1342669147' post='74673] I What do you guys think? Like it? I think this looks awesome! by the time you get the 'fins' correct it would be hard to get it much better! keep going!!!! Edited July 26, 201213 yr by Aether
