The little (fantasy football) Gobbo who tried

Hi,

This is a little gobbo player I\'ve been working on. I\'m quite happy with him so far, though there are a few things I\'m going to rework or neaten up. I\'m going to skin the upper back, neaten up the neck, add the thumb, toes on the right foot and the remaining missing toenails on both feet. I\'m also going to add the last stitch on the ball, which is missing at the moment because the pose used to be slightly different.

I\'m not too sure whether I should carry on with the shorts as they are, go further and add kneepads too, replace the existing ones with some normal shorts or go for the traditional old loincloth. Also, I\'m umming and ahhing about whether he should have ears or a helmet. I\'m leaning towards ears, but I\'m thinking it might have too little FF flavour to it.

Everything else is pretty much to my satisfaction so far, but I would seriously consider any comments regarding changes that could be made.

I\'d also like to apologise for the pic quality and perhaps the size. These are pretty quick snaps with no editing apart from the crop, since this comp only has paint.

I\'d appreciate any comments or thoughts about the little guy, even a different name (I\'m working on another gobbo I\'m tentatively naming takul, thus blokk).

So enough waffle, here are the pics:

errrr had another look.....

For me.....Helmet definitely...ome kind of ill fitting one or the old leather style cap helmet would work....

Shorts great as they are knee pads would work well...
Maybe a towel hanging from the belt like a loincloth would provide a good happy medium...

A couple of bandages here and there and some sweet looking work.....

( amazing what a few more minutes staring at a pic can do...

If you want my two cents...

The old fasioned style leather helmet is a great idea, but what if it had a single horn, either out the front or one side like a broken viking helmet? Maybe a spike like a WWI german pickelhaub?

I like both ideas of the leather cap and horn combined…


Lovely sculpting great idea, the idea and scale looks perfect the facial position, love it
