I’ll submit the poll on the official board… I think it has its place on the official one more than here… Michael and Lars need visibility about that
(I’ll only be able to do it tomorrow, so if another Moderator of the official board can do it before I do, please do so
Master Arthadan, everything is possible. My grandfather had hands like that. Sometimes nature plays funny tricks. My father also had very lage hands, but small compared to the hands of my grandfather. I don’t have small hands either, but it seems they shrink through the generations.
Re the proportions – I think it is a common thing among sculptors, probably more so than thought. I remember a well known sculptor (Sid Horton R.I.P.) who used to run his own line of figures which I think were mainly 54mm subjects and fairly well scaled, but when he started sculpting 120mm figures for Verlinden Productions, some of his figures, notably a Battle of Britain pilot, this chap loked as if he was the ‘Missing-Link’ as his arms would have caused his hands to drag on the floor :lol:, I think he also sculpted some German infantry with hands like shovels and totally out of proportion to the rest of the figure.
I have also noticed that some sculptors attempting to sculpt children quite often make the figure look like a scaled down adult rather than a smaller person with correct proportions – CT’s Bergil visually looks spot on to me.
This also looks wrong with the movie Hobbits who look as if they have been proportionately reduced in size (which I guess is what they have been) rather than smaller figures – again I think CT has the hobbits looking visually correct (that’s my opinion of course and I haven’t checked visually to back this statement up
).My own rule is ‘If it looks right, it is right’, and ALL sculptors fall foul of this at some stage.
