InArt: The Lord of the Rings - Aragorn 1:6

[Hologram AI]

Even Chris's sculpt looks off to me and I think it's the eyes on that one as well. Great jaw/mouth area but the eyes/brow is throwing the whole thing off.

Have yet to see a sculpt that fully nails his likeness and I don't think I ever will. Dude just has a hard likeness to really capture.

I see more David Harbour in that than Viggo.

 

[ArtDamage]

I'm getting David Harbour creepin' vibes off that one.

If Aragorn was a modern-day serial killer

I see more David Harbour in that than Viggo.

See!

 

[user 67922]

See!

Well there you go

 

[TheBatman]

None of these, even InArt, look like Viggo. The eyes on the InArt one is just way too big. The other sculpt by Chris, doesnt look like Viggo at all.

I see the same

Add Viggo to the Ford/Craig/Ledger "sculptor's challenge".

All this talk of InArts LOTR really has me wanted to get to watching the Trilogy again, but it's Spooky Season right now!

Y’all will think I’m crazy but I think the sculpt looks vaguely like Eddie Marsan.

Maybe it‘s my „hairing“ or my paint - or just the picture that disturbs you guys

But I think Chris sculpt nails him at least 90%

 

[redxavier]

Perhaps, the paint on the eyes really throws it off. I think the InArt looks better.

 

[Nagoya]

Yours looks bang on to me when he was bald. Maybe it's just the shadows in the other pictures?

 

[Bravomite]

Quite like it actually but wanna see rooted hair version, maybe eye too soft

The rooted sculpt looks a lot like this reference which is impressive - however, I hope Inart are not using this picture as their main reference for the sculpt. Viggo's features are slightly distorted here (lips parted with a snarl to them, his nostrils are flared and his eyes hardened with intensity) - I just don't think it captures his character.

Aragorn to me is a man who has patience, courage, loyalty and wisdom. He is kingly but does not wish to be a ruler. He is death to his enemies but kindness to his friends. When Gandalf is lost he shows his strength and leads but he is considered and measured in his decision making and compassionate to those in his party. Boromir is brash and allows his desire to vanquish the enemy to consume him, in sharp contrast to Aragorn.

It is for these reasons that I'd prefer a definitive Aragorn sculpt to not have an aggressive expression / portrait.

Watching it right now. Third time this year. These films never age, masterpieces of cinema.

 

[Shoo]

I'm not sure who I see there but it isn't Viggo.

Out of context, I'm not sure I would know who that is supposed to be. A bummy Christopher Reeve maybe.

That's who I immediately thought of.

Change the hair to red and that's faramir Bryce Dallas Howard.

Fixed that for you.

Yeah you have to wait until xmas/new year times...for some reason? I dunno just feels right

 

[pixletwin]

Aside from the nose, I believe it is the lushness and volume of the hairsculpt that is throwing it off.

 

[Bucky Underbelly]

Viggo's face just resists replication. I bet even a digital scan of his actual face wouldn't look like him. It's some kind of witchcraft.
