The Flapper

pinshape

I've started building base meshes that are fairly generic and can be used as a framework for future models. This shouldn't result in my work looking "samey" but it will save some time. For this entry, I'll focus on human faces which, unless very deformed or have non-human elements added, follow a basic rule of proportion. I decided to start with a female head, neck and partial shoulders as there is a very complicated model I want to make in the future and I'd like to get practised with as many components as I can in advance. The theme I chose for this model is the Flapper. Here's a poem that describes the idea fairly well: The New Fashioned Girl Let them sing of girls from long ago, Who were shocked if their elbows or stockings showed. But I'll chant of maidens whose ankles are free, To show their half-socks and the shape of their knees. Let them praise those old-fashioned numbers who turned in their toes And panted and fainted when men would propose. Compared to short-haired, bob-headed girls who meet all proposals with a direct stare. Let them shed all their tears in a crocodile pour, For simple sisters who flourished in the past. But I'll cast my vote for the girl who is self-reliant, bright and real.

I sculpted it in Blender.
