Very impressive, looks like you improved on the source material.

Thanks! What do you mean by source material?

The game model, though in truth I suppose 'your' source material could have been a fantastic piece of illustration. In any case, I think you did a damn fine job and it looks better than the game's poly's. Having done some action figure work I know it's also a challenge to sculpt an accurate model while retaining any useful articulation.

Oh I gotchya! Yeah it's true articulation vs. sculpt can be a hard balance.

Dear god... I was considering making one of these custom figures myself! I wonder if it'd be cheaper to buy one of yours once they hit retail...
What materials did you use? Did you use any computer aided tools for the smoothness on the larger parts or did you simply make very carefully sculpted template parts?
Final note: Thank god he has hair.

I'd like to see others sculpt him too so do it up man! The price of my figure will stay the same even after he's no longer for pre-order and without Data and the Refractor. Each figure has a lot of time and love put into them not to mention the oh so hard to come by Revotech joints haha.
I just followed a number of references I chose and went to work with a block of sculpy firm. It was all done by hand with no computer anything haha.

Hmm sculpey firm... I've only recently heard about it... It's stiffer than super sculpey, but is it better to work with on this scale than super sculpey? I'm sure it allows a bit more control over details, but is it worth buying a box if I already have a box of super?
Also, is there a method you used for sculpting the head on this scale? Sculpting in larger scales isn't really that hard, but I've yet to get a face to look how I want in this size.

Yeah I like firm because it's not as soft so it's easier to smooth. I can't say I have a method, I just start sculpting.

I'm sorry, but this is just...
so amazing. I mean... what in the heck.
Not only is it amazingly crafted, but fully articulated as well?!
I can see that you are like 110%.. no, 120% devoted to the series.
And to think, just before I saw this I was painting an alternate head for my Volnutt figure.
As a super-beginner level sculptor (who doesn't even work with joints and leaves all projects hanging), I can appreciate this thing SO MUCH.

Thanks so much for the compliment! I'm absolutely devoted to the series and revival of legends3 go to legends3.com if you haven't!
What Volnutt figure do you have? Whas the alternate head one you made? If so you should totally post pictures and link me to it, I'd love to see it.

No problem!
Oh, I'm way ahead of you. <:
I have the one that comes in parts with the servbots. He's missing an arm and a leg, so I need to pick up another servbot to finish him.
Oh, I took a head from a wrestler toy and made it to look like Volnutt's head (totally a joke lolol).
I guess when it's finished, I'll post a picture.

I definitely put my passion for Volnutt and the Legends series as a whole into it.

Thanks very much Lalam! I know you still disagree with some of the proportioning and maybe down the line I'll feel the same when taking the 100th time to step and look it over. I did look over reference art and even other legends figures over and over very carefully. I know a few people say he doesn't really represent L1 Volnutt, and if all you were looking at was in game Rock I'd totally agree. The thing is that the in game is so inaccurate to the official L1 artwork in some places that it leaves the artist (me in this case) a lot of choices and different judgement calls to make (relative to my taste obviously). Without writing a 10 page paper on my inspirations and references for the figure I can only really boil it down to about three drawings from L1 and the Roll casket figure by Yujin. In the official art he's actually fairly tall and lanky looking, especially in comparison to in game. The Roll gashapon figure by Yujin really felt good to me so used the face for general reference at lease. From there it was the difficulty of trying to capture that noble upbeat tone Vonutt has about him.
And that's just talking about a portion of the sculpting >_< haha thanks again for your comment. I'm glad you think it looks a little better.

I understand completely. When referencing more than one piece of work it can become incredibly confusing, and ultimately one may not see it how you do. With Young Link, I had absolutely no direct reference; every single drawing represented different proportioning/details in some format.
I think it looks a lot* better, by the way.

Dude I actually just saw that young Link a couple weeks into making this guy, and I just now find out it you. Your sculpting work is great! Expect some comments from meh.
