Project: Chobits

lol im always hungry but in right ill sit out this time

Wise choice there, they were pretty bland flavored to be honest!

Well the photo below doesn't look like much has changed, but almost everything there is now stuck together (gulp, no going back now).

Chi's back is removable (and attaches using magnetic strips) so you can place cables inside, but it was tricky to get off with a DVD drive in there. After sticking a board under where the drive will go which stays in place, it seems much easier now. There's also some holes which go out to where her arms will be, so I could put cables down there if I like.

Next up is to stick together a few last bits and then try to give her a rough shape carving on the other axis.

cool that ur back

wanna see this develope

Thanks :) Sorry it's so long between updates, I keep getting so busy :( But today I built a bigger hot wire to better cut her basic shape with. It's huge, as you can see from the photo below comparing it to my original one...

The basic shape of her (minus her head from the front, and of course her arms) is cut out now:

Since I haven't had any experience carving or with much art related stuff, haha, the next stage is gonna be a challenge. We'll see how it turns out though :)

wow looking good

good luck with the next stage

Her legs were huge compared to the rest of her, although they don't seem to look quite as bad in this image below.

Since then I've removed the base from the bottom and will soon replace it with a thinner piece of wood. I've also taken as much as possible off the top of the leg without quite digging through into the hollow insides.

Gonna try to finish the legs shape tomorrow and will post more photos :)

looks awsome, +rep for awsome idea

I hate going near that stuff. The sound of two pieces rubbing together drive me nuts. I like your cutter. Awesome. I would of used an electric carving knife and been covered in 'snow'.

Thanks guys :) And I should post a picture of the floor one day then, it looks like it's been snowing after all the sanding down I do.

Some new photos here:

I think her boobs look a little low, what do you think? They should curve in faster under neath, and they look quite misshapen from the front view, but I already went through to the hollow space where the DVD drive goes, so they'll probably have to stay that way. I don't think the under side matters because she's going to be wearing fairly loose clothing I'd imagine.

Also I'd like to trim away some of the curve where her tummy meets her legs, but again the curve is just a thin cover for the insides, so I'm not sure how much I can do there.

Any other thoughts? Thanks!

Very nice looking even though a can't stand anime. +Rep
