I uh.. I thought about separating all the pics but fuck it I guess.

SO!… Some headcanon backstory on Spring Man, or Jake, while trying to be concise….

Sculpting update!

I’ve hammered out all the basic proportions now. I needed to take care of that in order to budget out the plasticine for parts. I now know I can at least add a single arm to the torso with enough left over for finer mechanical details. I have a few ideas on how to make it still work with a single arm.

The torso, shoulder and forearm are all just basic shapes for now. I still need to find some kind of support wire for the arm. The bicep will be too thin for the plasticine to hold the arms weight. At least it will be, if I want any kind of dynamic pose.

The head has most of it’s features. I just need to reshape the bangs, they’re getting too far away from the character’s style. 

Also, I’m gonna have to save the sharp corners of the mechanical parts till last stage detailing. They’re just way too fragile to work around. I’ve tried I dropped the head the other day and ended up having to spend an hour fixing all the dent and scratches.

why is it always media that tries to be open and inclusive like steven universe, overwatch, dream daddy, that have the worst fanbases that run around telling eachother to kill themselves over inaccurate fanart and headcanon disputes

Slow progress..

I’ve had less time than I thought I would for practice. I won’t have the time to model Charlie in Inventor like I wanted to, so I’m switching over to hand sculpting for now. @s-kouno was nice enough to let me use their leftover sculpting tools. It’s my first time sculpting by hand and I’m having a blast with it. I probably have enough material to do a bust of the character with the arms, maybe.

I’m in the process of modeling @domobot’s Charlie in inventor. But before that, I needed a reference to go off of. I’ll have to build the parts with adaptability in mind because I’m not too confident about these proportions. Being able to easily change the size of parts is gonna help in the long run. I definitely need more drawing practice, but at least this is a good start. My next step will probably be to draw out any forgotten or angle hidden features and to make note of any proportion issues I made.
