Sculpting Techniques: Robes - Part 2 - Marshal Barbarossa | |
The Hood 1. A bit of flattened GS. TIP - When flattening GS, do so on an area which is lubricated well so that it won't stick and thus you will be able to apply to the model... Let the GS cure a bit before moving on. 2. Make it more rectangular. The long side shouldn't be too long; approximately 3 times the height of the head you are covering. The shorter sides shoud be about 1.5 times the length of the head. Cut one long side and both short sides so that you have a straight edge.. 3. Drape the GS over the head. 4. Rip-off the arms if glued. Tuck in one side of the hood as shown with your sculpting tool. TIP - This is why the arms shouldn't be attached as they get in the way of the tucking process. Well, actually just the shoulder pads, but you need those on the arms when the arms are glued so that the GS doesn't get in the way and everything fits nicely.  5. Tuck in the other side. Start shaping the hood. You can have the top rounded, angled or pointed. I make mine angled kinda like the SOBs. 6 - 7. Fold the rear edge in on itself and then smoothen. You will notice that the collar will get in the way. I like to just get the GS over it. You may also want to cut it off altogether. 8. Add folds like before. Now you can glue the arms back on so that you can adjust the hood for the shoulder pads. Once satisfied, let the GS cure. The Loincloth 1. Well, start off like the hood. You can also make it slightly tapered at the top. 2. Apply between the legs with the tapered edge touching the belt as shown. 3 - 4. Shape the loincloth slightly. TIP - I like to keep one side touching a leg so that shaping wont be too hard.  5. Continue shaping and add folds until satisfied and then let it cure. 6. Add a sausage of GS over a fold. 7. Blend one side of the sausage to the loincloth making it flat. 8. Blend the other side as in #7 making the very top of the fold edged. The Finished Article | |
