腹部球を入れるために胴体を分割し
球をつけました。
写真を撮るのを忘れていたので
その工程の画像はなしです。
続いて腕をおおまかに作って
関節球をいれていきます。
Cut the body for joints
and add joint balls.
No photo images of this proces
since I forgot to take pictures.
After that, start making arms roughly
and place joint balls.
Upper arms.
体とのバランスを見ながら。
Not too thick, not too skinny
carefully balance the proportion.
殺さないように細部に手を入れていきます。
Considering its range of motion
work on details without messing his figure.
もうちょっと可動域を広げ
もっともっと細部を作り込んでいきます。
I need to increase range of motion
and work on more and more details.
余計な脂肪がついていない筋っぽい脚を作ろうとするのですが
なかなかこれが難しいです。
骨から作っていく方が簡単なんじゃないかなとさえ思います。
Next, making legs.
I think they are lean and sinewy
but it’s very difficult to make them like so.
Much easier to start making from bones, I guess.
二重関節と腹部球があるので
全部で17個になります。
真球も相変わらず難しいです。
Then, the most important of all, joint balls.
He will have double jointed knees and abdominal joints
so total will be 17.
Making as close to the perfect sphere as possible is
always a hard work.
耳も原作に忠実にちょっととがっています。
Working on his facial details and ears.
I made his ears a little bit elf-like so that they’d be faithful to the original manga.
それなりの老化表現を…
Isn’t he 30’s, is he?
Need to add some aging-associated expressions…
ちょこちょこ手を加えていきます。
I usually place his head where I can see well
and rework many times.
And I made his tie (Ascot tie?) with Kleenex.
今はもうちょっとシャープな顔つきになっています。
His round face looks rather young in this picture
but it look sharper now after several modifications.
