The mage. A sculpt of one of my characters.

Post » Tue May 17, 2011 8:38 am

This is a sculpt of one of my oblivion characters( using mods ). Its not identical mainly because it was just a quick sculpt. I still need to sculpt the base and do a butt load of sanding. The next sculpt I do I will take my time rather than rushing.

Lol sixah.

Looks awesome. Though, how does that clothing provide any defence in battle, or any protection from the cold at all :P

The sculpture is pretty good. The Oblivion character is more something from a sixteen year old boy's wet dream imo.

Well thats what people like. I created lots of characters to sculpt so some will be sixteen year olds wet dreams.

Really? If I saw a woman like that in the street i'd say "Sorry Love, I dont pay for it." and cross over the road to avoid her. I like the craftmanship but I never did like the over sixualisation of oblivion characters. Each to their own though.

Some of you don't seem to understand the statue world. Women characters are the majority of times sculpted to look overtly sixy just as the males are sculpted to look roided out. A woman statue in a gown or armor would look boring. But hey if you have a better idea by all means get cracking.

hmmm, doesn't scream Oblivion to me so much as Heavy Metal, lol. You're obviously good at sculpting figures though. Speaking as a former sixteen yearold :goodjob:

You're welcome to your opinion, of course, but there are many fine examples in the statue world of men and women who are neither "roided out" nor "overtly sixy". It just takes enough skill on the part of the artisan to ensure that gowns/armor/etc. are not "boring". No offense was intended...you seem to have a fair degree of skill...I don't think it's an exaggeration, though, to say that most probably noticed your skill last when viewing your work. If that was your intent, I'm sure my saying so won't offend you; and, if not, know that I'm not trying to offend, merely making an observation. :)

Yea he's good at what he does.

It's definitely a "wet dream" for a sixteen year old :rofl: Those boobs could probably stop any sword that I know of.

I will add that sculpting a mage with long flowing robes, possibly doing some impressive magic might be more deserving of the title "The Mage." Then again you could always say she's casting a glamour, hell i dunno, lol.

Its not an opinion. You are correct though if the subject is not portrayed that way on paper than it won't be in clay/wax. Fantasy characters however are largely done the way I said. So when I eventually get around to sculpting my barbarian oblivion character I can assure you his proportions won't match the game body and his muscle will be heavily defined. I realize some may be offended by my work because it makes them feel uneasy or is not there VISION of what the character should look like. I do have plans for a female character that is in a gown, but will people shun it because her hips may be too defined or her briast slightly too large? Judging from the replys here, yes.

I actually sculpted her boobs smaller then the body form from the game character.

I'm sorry if it came across wrong and maybe offended you. I really, really like the sculpture! A friend of mine makes clay-sculptures as well so I know how much work goes into it.

I noticed the chestpart was more proportional on the sculpture. That's why I liked it a LOT more than the OB character.

Well I did sculpture for three years at college. We mainly sculpted bigger bodied women, alot more detail and what not. I didnt really enjoy sculpting or drawing a fat naked woman but still goes to show that "roided" and overly sixualised women are most definately not the most popular or even the only choices.

I prefer a smaller chest.

I do prefer the statue when compared to the screen shot, I just think i'd like it more it she had a bit more left to the imagination. I personaly dont care how revealing a statue is, i'm not going to be chatting it up on a friday night like I would a real lady :P

They are in the fantasy genre( I.E comic and game charters, etc ), go to ebay in the comics/collectibles/figurines and look, do a search on Clayburn Moore. There is a huge difference between fantasy sculpting and school/art sculpting.

No there isnt. Fantasy never started off as skimpy outfits and what not -- look at the archtypes of fantasy, Lord of the Rings is a fine example, always flowing gowns and dressed and robes or fully armoured, you'd be lucky to get a bit of cleavage. Clayburn Moore is just a particular style, not a rigid genre.

Clayburn Moore isn't a style he is a sculptor. Again, fantasy figures BASED off a set material will look like they are suppose to according to the material. SIDESHOW's LOTR statue line LOOK the way they did in the movie. In that regard they should not look skimpy. I've been in this hobby for a long time I know what I'm talking about .

I'm not saying anything's wrong with sixualisation in art (I'd be an idiot if I DID, considering the vast majority of art even ancient is deeply rooted in the human form.) I just dont see the attractiveness of the whole stereotype of huge briasts, overly long legs and extremely revealing day wear. I guess I just dont like objectification, It's the main reason I stay away from body mod's in oblivion :P.

Although, after looking at your screenies a bit more, I do like the craftmanship, its seamless to say the lease. Very detailed work, do you sell your work or are they just a personal non-profit hobby?

I sell my work if someone is interested. I tried to make a living in this field at one time but companies only want people who can sculpt identical to other famous sculptors( in this field). So now its just a hobby for me. If someone is interested in a piece that I want to part with I sale it.

I created lots of in game characters to give myself more material to work with. While this piece may look like an oblivion hoker I can assure there will be many that don't :celebration:

You clearly have a lot of skill with sculpting, but from what I can gather the criticism people are giving comes from the fact that it has nothing to do with Oblivion.

Imagine your sculpture scaled up, made up of stone, and placed in the Elven Gardens District. Does it fit like all the other statues found in the game world do? Nope. Not because of how you sculpted it, but because the character it's based on doesn't fit into the world either. Hentai bodies, and clothes comprised of less than 10 threads, just don't belong in the lore of the Elder Scrolls.

The proportions of the sculpture are bang on though, and clearly show a lot of talent. Put that next to the WoW sculptures for example and it'd look right at home.
