James Ironwood [Granado Vindoll + custom head]

Recommended Posts

1/6th scale is great and all, but I swear to God if I get one more "hurr durr robbit chikun" quip from reddit neckbeards I'm gonna flip. So ofc I've decided to go back to my roots - choaking people with the uncanny valley. 

Here's the character I'm planning on making. (Spoilers, he's a cyborg.)

And here's what my sweet husbando has sculpted so far for his head. Without a metal plate lodged in his head and ridiculous eyebrows, he's looking mighty generic.

Ah, my handsome potato.

 

And what I'm most excited about: mangling the Granado Vindoll body and making exciting use of that magnificent internal frame!

I plan to make completely new leg and arm "shells" and my current plans for his metal back and torso are to use mask-grade latex to cover the meat bits, and still allow and accommodate the whole soft vinyl's torso softness and flexibility.

Anyway wew yeah I'm gonna. Be working on this dude for awhile.

Interesting concept and nice head sculpt, but I must say that:

I haven't a clue what any of that means.

A friendly translation:

I've made the character in 1/6th scale but can't quite achieve the crisp and clean aesthetics that you can more easily get with 1/3 scale - so despite my hard work in 1/6th scale, most of the fandom relating to this character has nothing but "is THis RobOt ChIckEn???" to say about it, lol.

So I'm gonna remake the character in 1/3 scale with that higher "realism", but I'm sure I'll just be getting people saying how it looks freakish/uncanny valley, lol. The devil you know for the devil you don't, etc, etc.

(Also, "Robot Chicken" is a stop-motion sketch show, done with action figures. So \o/)

You've done stunning sculpt work but obviously there are very different styles between masculine/realistic and anime.

The head size difference because of the styles stands out too, but I also feel like perhaps the head is a bit small for the Vindoll body as well? I'm not a good judge of that and the gray vs. flesh color no doubt adds to confusion for me, but I'm just mainly looking at the size of the neck compared to the head.

ONE MILLENIA LATER...

We cast this dude in resin with ssomeone that we had never worked with before, and the casts were realllly baaaadddd. They also messed up the wax original nearly as bad, so we spent a few weeks cleaning and reworking one of the junk casts. The likeness is a little better, imo.

However weiss still looks awful by comparison, probably going to scrap her as-is and try to shrink a ddh09 + put it on an obitsu 48 body.

Junk cast with a bad faceup + current Weiss:

Honestly, they don't look that bad together as-is; pretty typical for a DD next to a more realistic resin.  I'm not familiar with Weiss's character, but it might be easier to find her a less anime-style head.  I know Parabox has some cute sculpts.

Yeah, maybe a Parabox Laura or something? Your current Weiss looks great by herself, the only issue I can see is the clash between anime and more realistic styles.
