I can see the likeness already. Great start!
HMC #29: Sci-Fi Icon - James T. Kirk
Thanks a lot everyone.
Roberto: I’ll definitely try to do them if I have the time.
Here is an update on the body. I have to retopologize it now.
Been a while since my last update. I retopped the clothes and adjusted the form more. I made a phaser for Kirk. I’ll still be making a communicator and a tricorder, along with at least Spock. I will adjust Kirk’s appearance more after I pose him.
Very good!
How do you keep the clothing seams /details the same size?
Everytime I sculpt a seam or detailing of any kind where I have to revolve around the model( like a sleeve) the detail either get’s bigger or smaller because the distance of the object to the camera changes in the proces.
Thanks mastone.
Sculpting out of perspective should keep everything the same distance from the camera. All of the seems are just a dam standard brush and eyeballing it, though I don’t think I understand what you mean exactly. The command stripes near his wrists are separate objects that were modeled in maya.
Thanks Scote.
Here is an update. Communicator finished. I have Kirk posed, but I still need a bit of refinement on it. Update tomorrow.
Thanks a lot, japetus.
I made a base for them and brought them together for the final pose. I’ll take some more shots and comp it in photoshop. Maybe give it some color if I think it looks good enough. We’ll see.


Excellent likeness of Kirk!
