Some of it is just sheer talent. They aren't a licensed company so no one is scanning Urban's face. The digital sculptors are just damned good at what they do.

That video is pretty neat, they use hand painting and sculpting to add in the finer details.

Higher end toys these days are all digitally sculpted and then 3D printed. We use Zbrush and/or Mudbox to model them and the toy company prints them.

Lots of VFX artists (me included) have earned a bit of extra cash on the side modelling characters for toy companies.

On the subject of sculptures, there's this cool one of Homelander:

When a tree grows, it is soft and pliable. But when it's dry and hard, it dies.

Hardness and strength are death's companions. Flexibility and softness are the embodiment of life.

That which has become hard shall not triumph.

I love little behind the scenes things like their rushjob on one particular head explosion because they didn’t have time to plate it properly or the reshoot of the crowd scene in November which sounds like it ended up being exponentially more work since they had to edit out everyone’s breath and replace the whole environment. :v:

I still find it hilarious how the scene was cut during season 1 production for being too risque then later on added back in when they realized it would be brilliant twisted ending for Homelander in Season 2.

I thought Carcetti was about politicians like Obama, full of HOPE and CHANGE but hey he'll be more effective at a higher position, so he just has to make some compromises here and there, repeat until you become president

I really like this show. The end of Stormfront is pretty lol but I guess they needed something extreme to make everyone kick her ribs in. But I don't think she actually died?

Season 3 should be DLC to the last Wolfenstein game where you battle mechaStorm

Not sure how I feel about that. Hopefully there's some narrative payoff otherwise it would have been better to just kill her off imo. Pretty hosed up if they just leave her all Johnny Got His Gunned even for a Nazi.

There’s no reason for us to assume she gave up stake in her husband’s company, so as far as we can guess, she’s where all the money and power really lie, and knows where all the bodies are buried. She still has value to Gus Fring

I really doubt that they kept her alive for no reason. I'm expecting some kind of Vadered Stormfront to appear at some point.

oh boy. :lol: here's the showrunner's take.

quote:

"No, she’s not dead! She’s Stumpfront! She’s a stumpy little Nazi," showrunner Erik Kripke told TV Line after season 2 finished. "She’s actually not dead. What we thought was interesting is, if you remember, she ages very, very slowly. So the best poetic ending for that character is someone who so believed in some kind of pure race finds herself mutilated and having to live with it for potentially centuries felt like a fate worse than death for her. So no, Stumpfront is not dead. Hashtag Stumpfront lives!"
