BSC2019 von Lucky Deep Sleep

Only starting to get ideas for now.

One of my slow-burn projects is set in Simon Stålenhag's world, so something that uses both definitions on "vegetation", to reflect something like this:



Would be cool - I have to think if it can be done with the confines of this contest though!

Heavily overgrown with weeds, sure why not?

Cool!!

Love that image!  Going to be a great build with that as inspiration.

Well I'm heading back to the drawing board

Thanks - we'll see.

Hammers - I thought that tattered clothing was vines (there's other illustrations of plant covered robots).

Right, start time has passed!

I'm probably thinking something very similar to this pose:


Complete with the bottom half of the right leg missing (I know it's the angle). The left arm might be resting on the knee. However, as the model needs to be self supporting (i.e. I don't want a wall or similar for it to lean against), it probably needs both hands on the ground.

A lesson from last year, I also need to think of the storage solution. So I'm looking for options first to give myself some constraints on its overall size.

I'll probably buy a cheap doll from the dollar store to give me the head (I'll sculpt the open jaw, teeth, etc) and help with the proportions of the torso and the limbs.

Plant wise I'll use:
- clumps of teddy bear fur
- dried tea and leaves
- sticks and twigs
- dyed sawdust
- static grass

I'll probably use some small tufts with flowers as I'll have a bit of space in the 25% commercial limit to make my creation not look like an arts and crafts project.

I also realise I have subconsciously been influenced by Nicklas P's thread from a few weeks ago:

Great source work to build from there.

Interesting,look forward to seeing what you come up with.

Aaaaaannnnnnndddddddd who would've thought that a doll would be anatomically correct?

There's Barbie dolls available at Big W (it's like Walmart in the USA) for $5, so I that's my backup if I can't find something better in the next week or so. I can use the head and sculpt over that and use the hands. The limbs too could potentially be augmented with wires/tubes - but they will have to be shortened.

I did buy some nice brown florists wire for my vines (and the cabling out of the back of the head), that I'll cover with paper leaves.

How about a cheap artists dolly ?

[von Lucky]

Thought about it - will help with the proportions, but the doll will give me a better head to work off.

[Hammers]

How about a cheap artists dolly ?

I would go with that. Or one of these plastic multipose, replaceable limb artists maquettes which I ae had my eyes on for quite some time now...



But then you would probably have to dress it up in a whole fucking lot of foliage for me to not disqualify you for transgressing the 25% rule.

[von Lucky]

That looks neat.

Current plan is to use a doll head with Green Stuff over part of it and the hands, the rest of the body will be scratch built out of plastic and card. I have put the call out for an old doll, so let's see what I can recycle.

Great project
