Full Metal Pépette
Life sized bust from French comic book artist Olivier Vatine
Based on a original character drawing from Olivier Vatine, Full Metal Pépette is a limited edition life-sized scale bust sculpted by Etienne Aillaud. I love the sense of proportions, which is both physically accurate in the form, yet totally stylized in its proportions, and I couldn't really imagine how big the 32in tall (80cm) sculpture was until I saw the making of pictures on the Attakus forum.
Full Metal Pepette is obviously inspired by Stanley Kubrick's seminal movie, but somehow the strong character design and the slightly squared off hands reminds me of a future female character for Valve's Team Fortress 2 game.
We're about to design a female character for one of my projects, and I think that we should definitely go in that direction and to try to strike that balance between style and reality.
