"Crooked Teeth" - (SJ21.29)
In 2021 I participated SculptJanuary to force myself to practice sculpting thoroughly.
I was lucky that nothing got in my way that month, so I was able to sculpt all 31 topics. Most in January, the last in early February...
"Crooked Teeth" was the topic of SculptJanuary 2021 Day 29.
I decided to continue the story of Day 18 ("Ouch!"). The boxer was then hit hard!
The story now continued: He feels his lip...he tastes blood...and crooked teeth!
So I copied the project from Day 18 and got to work with it...
Mainly with the Grab, the Mask and the Elastic Deform brushes I transformed the boxer into his new pose and
facial expression. And the arm with the boxing glove (which actually belonged to his opponent) I now used as his own.
Here I masked his upper lip and surrounding area...
...and with the proper sculpting tools I gently pushed down his lower jaw and mouth...
...so that there was room for teeth...
...very rough teeth at first...
...but after brushing teeth for a while...
...a full mouth crooked teeth :-)
This started to look good...
The colors also needed some attention...
The bloody teeth were trickier than I thought...Too little quickly became pointless, too much was distasteful...
But with trial and error I finally found the right balance.
This was the final of Day 29.
2 more days to go and then January would be over! Yippee!
(It had gotten harder and harder mentally that it took so long.
31 days without rest day is very hard, at least for me.)
