After dragging my feet for long enough, I finally brought myself last night to dive in and get his hair punched.
I popped in ESB (for as much inspiration as reference) and went to town on him. ESB turned into ROTJ as it took about 5 hrs or so to complete.
I had never punched hair before. This was my first time. I started out slow but got much faster by the end. I could do it a lot quicker if I had to do it over again.
I'm happy with the way he turned out. He's starting to look more and more like the ESB puppet with every new step.
Next will be weathering the robes.
The stuff left after that are the teeth, nails, flute and cane.
Thanks.
I totally agree.
After seeing at him with hair, it does look weird when you go back and look at him bald.
Same when I go back and look at him pre-paint.
I wonder if seeing him with weathered robes and nails will give a similar effect. Probably not as much as the hair did.
