Had only a short sculpting session today, due to work craziness, but short is better than none!

My big accomplishment for today was decapitating my little Green Lantern girl. As you can see here, she really lost her head tonight:

That was more than a little unnerving, but it turned out okay. I just garroted her with a piece of 28 gauge wire, and then slowly worked the head off of the armature wire. I'm going to have to do some resculpting on the hair, but so far, it's only minor touch up. It may turn out that I need to remove the hair entirely to work on the face properly, but I'm trying to avoid that since I've got a fair chunk of time in on sculpting the hair. But, if that's what I have to do, I'm going to do it. I didn't get to do too much on the face, but I did obliterate the eyes so that I could concentrate on the symmetry of the face and mask.

I just noticed from looking at the picture that the changes make it look like she has no nose. Oh, well, first things first. Once I get the basic shape right, then I can focus on the details. I didn't take a picture of her profile, but I did a lot of work on the face in profile and am much happier with the the way the lower part of the face looks from the side now. I'll try and get a shot of that next time.

I spent a little bit of time on my other sculpt today as well, but not much time. Mostly on the face, although I did a little work on the lines of the body.

You can see the face is a little cleaner and more solid. It even looks okay from this other angle - the symmetry isn't bad. But the body... well, the body needs some work. You can tell that I've been concentrating on certain angles and ignoring others, such as this one:

I was feeling pretty good about the torso, but just look at it from this side! And that arm as well. Next sculpting session, I need to focus on the profile and three quarter view and fix that torso.

Thanks for riding along!
