Vartal Customs Compilation

[vartal]

Hi guys, after creating some threads showing some of my works, I'm starting one where I will be showing all my new and past customs.

So let's start with some Jonny Quest heads that I sculpted some months ago. They are Jonny Quest, Hadji, Dr. Quest and "Race" Bannon.

Sorry for the poor pictures but these are the only ones that I have here right now.

Let's follow with some mego heads in 1/9 scale.

These are the guys:

- Wildfire
- Boxie (Battlestar Gallactica)
- Hawk (Buck Rogers)
- Tharok

Now that I have some free time I'm going to try to answer although it won't be easy to explain in a few words what I've been researching for 3 years and 9 of experience but I can say that I use a lot of programs, 8 or so for every head. This is not to pick a photo and move some vertex, you wouldn't get anything doing that taking in count that any decent model can have a million of them, it's like sculpting but with a mouse, Zbrush, Mudbox...

There are also many inconvenients and limited resources, it actually takes ages to do calculations and even when I've optimized my technique to use the minimum possible resources. And more, models can't have any inverted normals, holes, bad edges, etc.

I wish it would be as easy as to press a button and "print" a head.

Very interesting work Vartal! Need some Jonny Quest stuff!

Fantastic work......those sculpts are really coming along....i love the fact you are doing more obscure characters.

Have you ever thought of doing bodie and doyle from the professionals, or maybe jon and ponch from chips, or how about kolchak the night stalker, i would buy those up in a second if they were made available.

Thanks alibi , I really don't like to sculpt these obscure characters because many times it's very hard to find good reference material. But this is what people asks for

About those characters I don't have a clue of who they are

I could use a good Rick O'connell from the Mummy movies.
