Customizing Alfred from "Gotham" part 2

Jan 22, 2017 19:18

Yesterday I showed the beginning, today he got finished! I really love this look of Alfred with rolled up sleeves. He somehow looks more badass than in full formal suit. I also noticed that his tie is a bit more loose and the top button not closed ( Read more... )

customizing, gotham

Thank you very much! This one was actually pretty easy, just a little cutting and adding at other places. Very quick. Done in two afternoons. Hamlet for example took much longer, as I also had to form the naked feet there.

But yeah, I was not happy with how the arms looked, and after watching another episode yesterday evening I took it all off again as the cuffs were way too high. He only rolls them up till under his elbow, not above. The arms now look much better with that, and I darkened the hair a bit which was too white. Now I am really happy with the result. Here is the new Alfred:




I was also trying to find a screenshot to compare him to, but I am 17 episodes into the first season and so far when being out of the jacket the cuffs are still all the way down and properly closed. It must have been only at the end of the season where he loosened up a little, also the tie is not as tight and the last shirt button not closed in some scenes. Maybe the actor felt too constricted, being so formally dressed all the time? I know that JB complained about his Dark Archer suit so it got changed to be more comfortable.

The changes are amazing!!! It's perfect and looks just like Alfred does in the clips you sent me where he and Bruce are in the Batcave! Impressive :). You should do tutorials on Youtube and you claim to fame would be the video of JB's giving you a shout out for the doll you customized! You know cuz you need to be more famous than you already are :P lol

Aww, thank you!

Not so sure about the video tutorial ;) Did you ever watch the video I did about my photoalbum from my California trip? There you can hear my English with not only German but also Saxonian accent: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7G42TEhfbHo

I sometimes watch crafty videos or reviews of action figures but I always turn the sound off as some people have really annoying voices or speak too fast or have annoying loud music.

I'm trying to find an active Gotham community on LJ where I could show my stuff but there does not seem to be one. Shame.
