now seeing that we only have a month.....barad dur is definitely out....lol....i'd need at least 2 to conquer that beast.......

here's a little shortlist i've come up with:

Lord of the Rings
- The Witch King
- Ring Wraith + Horse
- Ring Wraith + Fell Beast
- King Theodens Armour
- Sword collection
- Helms Deep (just the castle itself)
- oliphaunt
- gollum
- Balrog
- Sauron

King Kong
- Kong on Empire state
- Kong on the stage in chains
- kong sitting on a taxi ( a humorous one)

The Last Samurai
Not sure what exactly they did on this, says weapons and design on their website, its one of my favourite movies so I might look into it....

[robo3687]

okay well i think i'm going to do king theodens armour....its nice and detailed too which is good....

might do it like a museum display...on a mannequin so i don't have model theoden himself...but if i get time i'll do a head....

[robo3687]

made a little start...just started on the sword for now...

alrighty...well i've been sick for the last few days but am now able to get to the computer again....so look for some progress over the next couple of days

[DaezD]

glad to hear you're feeling better

[aovesen]

good to see you back and in good shape, that sword looks great, if thats the standard for all your remaining work it will be sweet!

[robo3687]

well turns out i wasn't getting better....lol....but now i'm fine.....

might look at doing some sort of bust instead of the complete theoden package....might even change subject......

i've still got a month and i'm now glad i didn't specify anything in my subject title....lol

back to the drawing board

[robo3687]

alright, i've got an idea......here's a few inspiration shots to give you an idea of where i'm going with this

Lookin good Paul. I feel like there needs to be more skin in his upper lip. Maybe imply that it's scrunched more or something. He looks like if his mouth was closed he wouldn't have enough skin on above his lip to actually close his mouth right now. Hope that makes sense.

[TiMrozek]

Hmm, looking at references though and maybe it's supposed to be that way. I don't know. Just seems like something up there is a little weird right now. Still nice start.

[robo3687]

yeh i wasn't so sure about the top lip either....but it is like that in the ref...so...i don't know.....lol

maybe its like with sharks when they open their mouth really wide the teeth pop out a bit....or something.....

anyhow here's a little update, posed him and played around with some rendering cos i was bored....
