Jasonc Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 Not too bad at all. I can't wait to see it all painted up. It's kinda hard to get a feel on what it'll look like painted, but it'll be interesting to see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buffalostyle Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 Wow!!! That is very nice! I agree with Vepariga in wanting to see more of the Misa... Cannot wait to see the finished product. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EXO Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 Nice sculpts. I think you need to work on poses and the cheeks on both need sanding down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VFTF1 Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 (edited) Well - yeah... they do seem a bit cheeky But I'm still at the stage where I can't even build a wall out of legos let alone craft something like this so...I bow down in awe before your might..

EXO Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 I didn't want to say anything because he was already in the casting process. I've worked with Sculpey before. It was my favorite material but I've since moved on to wax. It's a bit more tricky but once you get the hang of it, it beats sculpey by a mile.

bigkid24 Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 Great detail in Milia's flight suit with all the bunching up in the back of her knees and everywhere else. I agree with Exo that her cheeks are a bit full but overall great job. And please post more pics of Misa. Nice helmet...is it big enough to get on her head?

KiriK Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 Nice sculpts. I think you need to work on poses and the cheeks on both need sanding down. are you saying she has a Fat Face?? hahaha... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Francisco Caceres Posted November 6, 2009 Author Share Posted November 6, 2009 (edited) Wow! lots of comments! thank you very much everybody, i'm a little behind schedule regarding the casts of the copies since i'm producing another kit right now, Regarding the face, i didn't wanted to go for the usual anime-esque face, specially since i am used to sculpt other types of features, for example: (a wax bust of Wolvie i've been practicing with) (a Supergirl statue we did at the workshop) so it was fun trying to make this faces, but now i don't feel so pleased with the results now (but i still don't think they look fat ) so i'm going to make a quick wax transfer of the faces next week to try and refine them, and the rest will be casted as it is. soon more pictures, and thanks for watching!

Francisco Caceres Posted November 27, 2009 Author Share Posted November 27, 2009 Hi everybody, i've been very busy for the time being, but i made some changers to the figures: Misa has a new head more anime style, and the arm holding the helmet now has it ebraced against her hip, also the helmet has a brand new interior, here are the pictures: please comment! more pictures of Milia next.

miriya Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 Great work there. I am loving the Misa figure. The body sculpt looks fantastic. The only critical comment I have is about the face. The mouth is too low on the face and the nose too long vertically for my taste. The nose portion seems to take up a bit too much of the face. Other than that this figure is looking amazing!

jenius Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 There's something a bit mousey about the nose but otherwise it looks fantastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Francisco Caceres Posted November 27, 2009 Author Share Posted November 27, 2009 Thanks for the comments, we are still working a tad on Misa, so more pictures yet to come, here is the update on Milia's figure: Comment please! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darrtallion Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 now I Must first start off by saying these are great works and Sculpting I have done in the past and no where near as good as these but as an artist or a student of art I must say the feel of the Milia character is all good until you get to the Face. I believe it has to do with more of the shape and mainly the eyes. I don't get the feel of Milia from it. It seems more like the suit with some other head attached to me. Just an honest opinion and such. I don't want to discredit your talent far from it. There is tons of talent there. But as a observer to the Milia Figure that is the feeling I get when I look at it.

David Hingtgen Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 Heads are definitely better on both, but still a bit too long/tall I think--maybe the nose specifically? There's a section of Milia's hair that I think is off---can't describe so I'll just point it out. Almost looks kind of like a bowl-cut there. Milia's waist seems slightly too barrel-shaped. I would taper it in more RIGHT above the belt. Also, I would thicken the lower part of the thigh, right above the knee---too cylindrical in that area---should be more conical. Finally--smaller ankles. If you're really going for "matching the anime" instead of "more realistic" I think the ankles should be smaller. Also, there should be more folds/wrinkles in the boot at the ankle---the fabric is really bunched up there according to the most "official" drawing I have of Milia in this outfit. Also I would make the foot part of the boot shaped more like a woman's shoe---you've got a more "practical" design--basically needs to be smaller and more pointed. More "dainty".

Chas Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 (edited) Very nice figures! I figured that once they were painted up the likenesses would 'click'. I like your take on the characters. There is a good resemblance and you have kept a distinct style. Kudos on these. It's good to see more fan made macross figures. Thanks for showing these off.

Sportimus Prime Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 That's amazing work. I wouldn't even know where to begin. Millia has always been my favorite female character from Macross. Misa is excellently done as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
