Default work done

Hi,

Here's the last pics of my custom Niners center figure !

THe next ones will be the O guards and tackles. I don't think I'll customize them as heavily as Heitmann, but i'll keep the overall aspect (face, paint) so the lineup should look good !

that is beautiful. you have amazing talent, but i do agree, too make a whole team would take a really long time if each figure was that detailed.

We'll see, the next figures I'll do will be the complete O linemen (excepting the tight end, BTW excuse me if I don't use correct football terms and don't hesitate to correct me if needed, for my personal culture ) : SO I'll do 4 figures on the same time. THe goal is to finish them in the same time I made the center figure.

When you paint several figures on the same time (of course, not 10 or 20, but 2-4 minis), actually it's quite as fast as painting one, because you've already got the good painting mixings, etc...


But of course the 4 linemen will not be as customized as the Center : only the face and arms (perhaps the belly of some of them, I have to see if we've got some chubby men in the team ) will be sculpted.

I 'll do an entire team, yes. My project is to create at least 22 figures, so now I have to paint 21 figures

but I don't think I'll do custom poses for each figure. I certainly just customize the "stars" and important game positions (like this O center).

I have to plan all that work, so I can paint the non-customized figures in groups to gain some time.


BTW, the next figure will certanly be the tight end Vernon Davis. The other linemen will not be customized, I think, so i'll be able to complete the O first line "quite" fast.

My team building will be that way :


center (custom) done
tight end (custom)
other linemen (certainly not custom)
WRs (custom)
qb (custom)
other posts (not custom)


then I'll do the same for defense.


EDIT : I checked all my FF.net figures, I alread have enough figs to complete a basic team (11def-11off) !

If you start out with custom, you should continue to make customs! Your work is of great quality of the fine French painters of yester-year! When you go back and look at the finished 11 players, I hope that you are hit by the bug by then so you will continue to build your 49ers until you have a complete team!

The face work on this players has me feeling humble in my work. The details that so man y in this hobby goes to to make their players look REAL is yet another way to express your creativity!

Thanks for sharing your work and continue making more!

thanks


As I said, I'll custom all the figures, but not as heavily as my Heitmann figure : I'll "just" make the face, and some anatomic corrections or enhancements.

the only figures I'll full customize will be the "key" positions with stars : QB, RB, WR, TE etc... well...the half of the team, at least
