That's incredible work. Especially considering how truly evil "green stuff" can be to work with.

You should do more!

It's looking great, however if I may, I would like to say that in all but the last pic, the left foot as you look at it (so the fig's right foot) looks like it should be the other foot if you get what I mean. To me it actualy looks as though he's crossed his foot over - sort of backwards!!

The rest of the fig looks great for an original sculpt.

We have about 32-35 degrees in Poland. It's to hot =]

This Frodo is very nice. He isn't looking like that from film but this is still nice sculpt. I love his face and coat but please, do something with his foots

It could be helpful.
Anyway, great work!
I'm looking forward to see painted version. Will you cast him?

Lovely sculpt! I like how you gave it your very own accents, not a copy of the movie, just your very own Frodo! The smile on his face is really lovely and peacefull (he really looks a bit like my brother that way, when he was a little younger!!).
The hair on his feet asks for a cartoonish paintjob, which will fit him very well (and which fits imo in the style of your artwork in your art portfolio), but what I truly love, is the way you sculpted the jacket-joints (seams?), awesome!
AH, and yeah, the only negative thing I can say is what's been said already, the left foot is a little bit bended the wrong way, but I think some extra shades in the paintjob on the inside of the feet can make up for that.
Great job allover, but of course, anything born on the 10th of July is wonderfull!

(ah, and I can't resist... but the reference to show the scale of the model... that looks just as wonderfull :dizzy:

)

A beautiful miniature,you really have a lot of talent.
The only two negative things I can think of are his right knee (it looks as if there is a fingerprint but that could just be the picture)
And compared to the rest of the mini his belt looks a bit sloppy.
But you did an amazing job. :yay:

oo very nice! It's always nice to see people sculpting. I love the way you gave him his own personality & I admire your work as well. Nice smile, and good painting on the face. I look forward to seeing more!
oh question; Is he the same size as the normal figures? he looks slightly bigger - but still lovin it

No he's quite a bit bigger

I figured i needed to sculpt larger before i try any tiny figures.
Ill post a comparison with a small figure soon

yep thought so, yes best to not jump right into the hard stuff. But he's very good, I look forward to see more

@ Bart:

Tee!

Ollieholmes · **Posted:** Tue Jul 13, 2010 1:44 pm

Thats very impressive. Good luck with whatever you sculpt next.

TheBucklandBrewer · **Posted:** Tue Jul 13, 2010 1:48 pm

Beautifull blue eyes!
Great skin-works, his lips in particular fade really well into the rest of the face, not too red'ish (which is how I usually mess u my figures..). His whole face actually comes out really nice! The darker tones on the nose, and lighter cheek... very nice!

I love how the paintjob hides the kinda "odd" (big word for such a small thing) look of his left foot now, perfect! Nothing wrong to see there anymore

@ Pinky: haha! Hey, I had to wait 6.5 years to finally get the opportunity to use the flower-smily here, but I guess I deserved that, lol! :wink:

[edit] I mean his right foot... (after 31 years I still don't know the difference between left and right... :roll:

)

I thought for a minute you had seen a better "scale comparison" photo!

Looking really nice! And how you managed to do all that in 3 days is beyond me. Only criticism I can find is that the cheeks are perhaps a little too "bolgy" and the feet could be a little hairier. Can't wait to see how this turns out.
