My second "serious" sculpt, just before I got into making "Pennywise". This was a serious challenge, but one that stretched my limits beyond what I thought I was capable. There was a "magic hour" from when I thought he looked "good" to where he transformed into a character that looked more real and satisfying than anything I had ever made before. This is the character that convinced me I could and should keep doing this. The video drags on a while, as I was so obsessed with getting it just right that there's a few minutes of the timelapse where there doesn't appear to be much happening. It was just me being methodical and meticulous, double checking everything.
​
The paintjob was the most difficult of them all up to that point - primarily because of the colour issues and getting the shading just right. There are a multitude of photos of this character, with different actors, and different degrees of CGI augmentation that made it difficult to capture his likeness. However, I am extremely satisfied with the final outcome. The armour I also made myself, out of thick gauge aluminium and leather. His medallion is a polymer clay, painted with various coats of crackled black, gold, grey, and white.
