Artist's Comments

A large update for you.

I changed the hand and arm position, where it currently was had two problems, the first being that it would be incredibly uncomfortable to have your arm tucked that far behind your back. Second that you couldn't see the arm from front viewing.

I adjusted her had putting a gas canister grenade in it and adding a similar one just next to her hand on the belt, to make it look as though she's about to throw one (Would also tie in with the gas mask she's wearing).

I also changed the gas canisters on her gas mask making them smaller and closer together while sharpening the detail work.

Hopefully all the changes I've made have been for the better, oh and the metal cast piece being held to the left of her is not one of mine, it's a gamesworkshop piece I used to try and get my scale within the 28mm range. :nod:

sorry about the photo size, if anyone would like to see some larger ones I've included some links below.

Me likey...
HOWEVER...
The gas mask...'Nuff said.
AND...the hand for the pistol...to me,its unclear what its doing. I thought she was reaching back to pull a pistol from the holster?
If so...her hand angle is incorrect to how the pistol would be sitting in the holster. I was going to mention this before,but i thought it was unfinished,so i didnt...but i see its still the same...

The hand is sliding into the holster and around the gun handle, not sure if it's clear from the photos but she has two fingers outside of the holster, the other two and the thumb are under the flap seccuring the gun.

And yes that gas mask is getting scrapped.

The gas mask would look better a little smaller :giggle:

But overall, I love it!

Maaaassive hips. I think the second, show belt just looks a bit ... extreme. It pushes out the hips to make the model look fat at first glance and then you spot the tiny waist. I'd be tempted to say it wasn't a great idea pragmatically but on the other hand it's very stylised and fits with the Escher image. So you've maybe reached a Catch 22 on that one.

I think the shape of the sword is a little funny also. Looks like it was going to be a chainsword to start off with and then you dropped the teeth. I'd maybe go for a different shape to the blade to avoid this. It also seems a little odd that she has two swords and they're both on the same side!

I had to do a double take to spot her right arm but that's more camera angle giving me headaches than a real criticism :P

Anyway that was the bad stuff I have to say about it :P
It's beautifully sculpted and as ever your skill and style shine through. My criticisms are nothing to do with your capabilities, more somewhat to do with fashion decisions. It definitely has a more gritty look than the GW Escher models, without their pretentious "oh look we're girls with guns that our twice the size of our face aren't we hot". As ever you show good taste when sculpting female figures without falling into the trap of thinking breast size is directly proportional to model quality.

I'd definitely appreciate a higher res photo - greenstuff never shows up well until you get some paint on it.

I actually like the gas mask this size :paranoid: I think it's more in tune with the rest of her 'accessories' on her belt.

She really is a beauty.

Really, that's weird as I didn't remove the chainsword teeth. :o

By the way, thank you very much for some wonderful suggestions and comments,especially because you've spotted things I didn't. Thank you very much for taking the time for your thoughts. :handshake:

I suppose if I get her cast I could have two options availble.
