Starwars4J Posted January 4, 2008 Posted January 4, 2008 Hey there, awhile ago I made a sigfig that didn't turn out as great as expected, the eyes were too small, and it looked too "real", well as real as Lego can get, which took away from some of the believability. Since then I've tried to redo it (with a little help from *vader*'s great advice). Anyway, I have two versions, only differing in the mouth placement. They're still WIPs, so things could change fast, but I was hoping for some feedback. Is the mouth too thick? Too thin? Is it placed wrong? Are the eyebrows unbelievable? Are the eyes too open? Is it missing that something special? This is just based on normal aesthetics and not EXACTLY what I look like, so that's what I'm hoping any advice could be based on. Does it just look wrong for some reason? I was inspired mainly by the Katara head, it's far and away my favorite. Anyway, here they are: Thanks! Quote
Corvus Posted January 4, 2008 Posted January 4, 2008 Looks pretty good to me, though the eyes look a little too big. Can you show us the previous version, or has it been scrapped? will Quote
Starwars4J Posted January 4, 2008 Author Posted January 4, 2008 Here's the old version: The eyes were WAY too small. Also, the reason I'm working in a large scale like this was I got the tip that it'll look a lot less pixelated if I draw it big and shrink it down right before I print ;-) As you can see, the eyes on the old one look fine...but in reality they just don't cut it :-/ I just hope I didn't go overboard with these :-D Quote
El Bucanero Posted January 5, 2008 Posted January 5, 2008 Well, you've certainly improved on the previous one. I think the position of the mouth in the second picture is fine (it's lower then in the first one right?) I agree with Mr Mandalorian the eyes are a bit big. Reduce the size abit and give them a little rounder shape and I suppose it'll look better. :-) Quote

Thanks! And yup, the mouth is lower on the second one. I thought it looked better that way, just wanted a second opinion :-) I agree with Mr Mandalorian the eyes are a bit big. Reduce the size abit and give them a little rounder shape and I suppose it'll look better. :-) Alright, I'll definitely experiment with making the eyes a bit smaller. As for the rounder shape, you want them to be more wide open? I just made them this shape because most people walk around with their eyes at least a little closed :-D This is the second comment I've gotten about making the eyes rounder though... Did you see the face I was sort've basing this off of though? The Katara? Anyway when you say rounder, you mean making the whole thing more open, or maybe making the inside portions stouter? Quote

Anyway when you say rounder, you mean making the whole thing more open, or maybe making the inside portions stouter? Well, not necessarily more open, but just a little less oval shaped. A bit more like the Katara eyes, savvy? Quote

Ah, I thought you meant make them more like circles :-D That goes along with the advice *vader* gave me, so I'll definitely give it a try ;-) Thanks! Quote
iamded Posted January 5, 2008 Posted January 5, 2008 They look nice, but I guess we can only really judge them once they're on a mini-figure. ~Peace Quote
