I have never really done much 3D character work, so I don't know how i would do it...that's why it was interesting to me
You usually see people model pieces that are all open so that they can be welded together, and then rigged and boned, for posing. But since you are providing character studies for the sculptors this looks like a perfect way to do it. plus you can build a fairly big library of objects that can be reused for future projects...nice
those pieces are REALLY nice. I'm not sure what they are made of or exactly how they are cast,(most likely rubber molds) but it looks like you've hooked up with a first class company. Lots of "hand finishing" involved...great detail
again congrats on all of this stuff.
