Re: Free Paper Prop Thread #4 - 2009

I am working on getting a sharpness but do not want to make it look like a photo or a known pose. The pic I am working from is a T1 promo. I like it because it has a white background. I will keep messing with it. Like I said worst case is that I free hand it myself. If anyone has any other photos or pics post them.

Thanks!

Greg

Cool beans, Greg. I get what you're saying. Hope the sharpness works out. The picture is definitely a good choice (I too agree on the white background). Keep up the good work. :D :cool

Found a couple drawing of Arnold on the net :

I think that one of Contec's would work well - although it is an older Arnie - if you cropped his head off the business suit. A police sketch would not feature the .45 longslide. Nor sunglasses on the suspect.

Woah, guys! I'm getting overloaded here. Outlander expressed my concerns, but in a much more direct means. And I also agree with Outlander, the first looks like Arnold as the Governor than the Terminator (unless its common for sketch artists to do a rendering of "What they may look like in 20 years" kind of thing on wanted posters.

I will admit, I like the second one that Contec posted. But, the only problem to me with that picture, is that it looks more like Arnold as Jack Slater from "Last Action Hero" than Arnold as the Terminator from the first film.

I disagree about the sunglasses. If the witnesses only saw him with sunglasses, that's what the picture would reflect. The sketch artist wouldn't just make up his eyes if no one saw them... that's highly irresponsible and completely unrealistic. For all the witnesses and sketch artist knows, he could be missing an eye under there... or have a glowing red lens instead of an eye. Many, many, MANY police sketches show the subject wearing sunglasses or hats or hoods or masks.
It is possible an artist would do alternate representations of a subject, however. Possibly with a different hairstyle, scars resulting from a witnessed injury, with/without a beard, with/without glasses and so on. But to say a police sketch would not include sunglasses is completely false.
Also, the pictures I posted aren't intended to be used outright, of course. You can try to brush out the gun in the second link, or at least try to crop it out or something.

True about the sunglasses and hats thing in sketches (i.e. The Unibomber). But, there were TONS of witnesses in the Tech Noir club that saw him without glasses, just prior to the car crash. Not only that, the manager at the Hotel the Terminator stayed at would have signed him in and recognized what he looked like without glasses. The only two people who have seen the Terminator with the sunglasses and lived was the black guy in the hall as he he headed out (with the memoriable "G#dd@mn" as he passed by) and the driver of the truck that Reese and Sarah steals (he got a good look at the Terminator as he was walking up the Room 6).
