More updates on Marcus!

I managed to get started on Marcus' C.O.G armour today and damn it's hard as hell. I spent 6 hours on it in total today, and only managed to finish the gloves! It's because the C.O.G armour is insanely detailed and every little raise or valley has to be in.

Here's a little video that I made documenting the sculpt, from referencing, sketching till it's current state.

Redid the chin of Marcus, started work on the armour

Got some feedback from friends that the chin of Marcus was a little too small, and that I was following Asian-esque facial features a little too closely, so I tore down his chin and redid it in broad big chin glory.

Also, forced myself to knead the ton of Super Sculpey Firm that I needed for the armour details. Can't deny that I got lazy after using Super Sculpey pink which needs minimal kneading.

And, too tired to take some pictures of the progress today, will upload more pictures next time, hopefully with parts of the armour completed.

Marcus Fenix Bust (WIP)

Here are some work in progress pictures of a Marcus Fenix bust I've been working on... I kind of burnt out with sculpting for almost one and a half weeks, so it's been lying on my shelf. I finally got some proper sleep, woke up this morning and found the energy to bring it down for further works.

What you're seeing now are works in progress, I haven't added the COG armour yet, so don't ask why he's naked. I do not have homosexual naked fantasies of Marcus lol.

He's all Super Sculpey so far, but the armour's gonna be Super Sculpey Firm because it's gonna be too detailed for regular SS.

General pose - I'm giving him a sad, but undefeated look - the kind of attitude u need when your father is dead and there are hordes of Locusts running around your backyard.

Marcus - the uncrushed soldier, from the front.

I hope you Gears fans liked that! It's still unfinished, lots of work to do with the armour plates, as well as a hell of a paint job.

If you're kind enough, leave me some comments, so I know how to further improve my work.

I've taken a long break from blogging on my own works and working on my art blog over at Urban Art Central, so I'm pleased to say that I'm back for the new year! Will be updating my blog of more of my works in 2008.

I've been drawn over to the side of the sculptors, but I still do paper model templates on request, so if you're interested, drop me an email, at summerson84@yahoo.com.

Here's to more great art to come!
