4. Returning to the Move brush, enlarge the cranium as well as the eyes to suggest a more fetal proportion
to the head ( Figure 6-2 ). Perhaps this character was never a normal human but a genetic experiment grown
for this very purpose. As a result, the skeletal development would be skewed. The slightly disturbed head
proportion will also have a more unsettling effect on the viewer. By understanding head and facial pro-
portions, you are able to make informed decisions like this in how to break the rules for your own needs.
We will also be carving out the back of the head and filling the skull with mechanical tubes and pistons,
so the extra space will be useful. To the viewer, a slightly oversized infantile head connected to a massive
robotic body implies a strength that is not tempered by rational thought.
