Here's Heman's Castle Greyskull...
I built it with 3DStudioMax, matched as best I could to the original animated cartoon. This was a challenge, because physically and geometrically, the shape of this castle does not make any sense. The original artist was attempting a perspective, sort of, looking up, so he narrowed the castle at the top and widened it at the bottom. I wasn't about to build a logically shaped Greyskull and then rely on camera angles to achieve the same perspective. I simply built it warped.
if Heman was to walk around the back, and you could watch the castle turn. you'd see it is not at all tall, merely cone shaped and leaning backwards like there was a fly in it's face. had I moved the camera an inch in any direction, you would have no idea what the hell it was... some pile of poop with a somewhat skull shape.
This makes the model absolutely useless for any kind of animation, but by building it how it was drawn, hopefully, I replicated it exactly how we all know it. and hopefully it registers that way and manages to hit a nerve for someone out there
And if that makes no sense whatsoever, sawwy. Not good with words tonight.
