Making a figure: Arjuna v.2 pt. 3

Just a small update on this figure. Fix the hip, although a lot more fixing is still needed. If you're wondering about the breast area, it the light. She has almost equal size boobies. The figure on the right is my reference, a microman Batgirl. Here's one more shot of the figure from the back. I've sculpted some gluteus muscles. Now she got something to sit on ;)

Well, that's it for now. Really short post isn't it. I'll promise I'll get right at work on those long tutorial article posts soon.



Until next time!

Figure making: more Arjuna ver 2.0

I've done a lot of work on her during the weekend. Finally fixed the right arm, sculpted the torso and all-around area. I've even sculpt her a new face! This time it's more anime-ish than before. I've also added some 'baggage' on the rear. Now she got some junk in the trunk ;)

If you're wondering what the white stuff are, they're paper clay. I love working with this stuff. It sands smooth, take detail well, and if you mess up, just put some water and rework it. AWESOME!

I take the picture using my photobox. Sorry for the blur near the bottom. It's actually my reflector. I'll do a better job next shoot. Well, that just left detailing and priming. I was hoping to finish this figure by the end of the month. Painting it would be a treat.

Until next time! Enjoy the pics

Cheap mini photo studio

This might not be about figures, but taking a good photo can make a mediocre (or even bad) figure look decent! Photo equipment doesn't come cheap. Since I'm not the kind of person who easily forks money for equipmet that I can (at least try) to make myself, I search the net and found a very helpfull article. And yep you guessed it, I made myself a cheap mini photo studio.



How cheap is it? Well, I already got the box, tape, white card paper, tracing papers (it's commonly known as 'kertas kalkir' here) and lamp, so I spend nothing on it. You can't beat that! I dont have many shots on the box, yet though. My previous post regarding Arjuna is shot using the box. Here is a shot of the box that I made, and a test shot using tungsten lamp. All photos are shot using a Sony Cybershot DSC-P7 camera with the macro setting on.

Making a Figure: Arjuna Ver 2.0 Update!

It's that time again.
In my never-ending journey to make my own anime figures, I meet many challenges. Posing the figure is one of them
I've finally managed to finalize the pose for Arjuna. I wont be changing the pose anytime soon. Now I just need to prep this baby up for paint. Who knows, if there's interest, I might actually cast this and make it a garage kit (hint, hint..)

I will be updating a lot more frequently now. With 5, yep count it FIVE figures in the works at the same time, this blog will fill up fast. Well technically, I'm only allowed to post 3 of them, still that's a lot. And did I mention all the figures must be done at the end of June?

For all of you who asked (or wanted to ask), Yes I do take commisions. Just contact me if you have something in mind. I know we could strike an amicable agreement :)

Untill next time!

Arjuna Ver 2.0

Well, I've finally did it. I've remodeled my Arjuna. The first version is ok, but I feel it lacks the personality and character that I had in mind. The pose seem stiff too, although when she was first finished it look good! Darn good!

Anyway I decide to make a standing pose. The picture is the current (and hopefully the final) pose of Arjuna. I will also try and resculpt the face and her body. Just to make her more sexy.
