BottledDog Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Stupid, but it makes me remarkably angry that these are what we'll be passing down as representations of our greats. Actually offensive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 It looks awful, would prefer hand open but plenty of times he celebrated like that: http://cdni.condenast.co.uk/642x390/a_c/Alan-Shearer-GQ-14Jan13_pa_b_642x390.jpg http://i.guim.co.uk/img/static/sys-images/Football/Pix/pictures/2012/2/28/1330433817078/englands-alan-shearer-007.jpg http://i.imgur.com/FhGWgtv.pnghttp://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2009/04/01/article-1166416-0436D216000005DC-554_468x532.jpg http://www.icons.com/images/article_gallery/alan_shearer/profile/Shearer---classic-celebrati.jpg http://i4.mirror.co.uk/incoming/article2463109.ece/ALTERNATES/s615/Alan-Shearer.jpg Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest firetotheworks Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Every single thing about that statue is wrong. Wrong physique, the face is wrong, his head's too big and it should be a hand up, hunched, head bowed in the way that became his trademark. You all know it like, but like this. http://lincov.co/photos/alan-shearer/alan-shearer-germant-celebration-1360d3a80eca6292f33a04f7aebb5fee-small-49636.jpg http://e0.365dm.com/15/01/768x432/blackburn-newcastle-premier-league_3257271.jpg?20150128123246 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carlito Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 His face looks off in the first close-up pic but looks better in the 2nd close-up since he doesn't look so old in it. Overall not a very good job though considering the pose is wrong as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest firetotheworks Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Looking back, I know his Everton goal was mint, but that FA Cup goal against Spurs was something special like. Hitting the ball like that in that position isn't ordinary. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marmoset Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Never understand the statue outrage. When was the last time a statue was spot on? It doesn't look that lifelike!!! No shit. It's a fucking statue Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a fucking statue Eh? Don't know if anyone is really outraged, but you'll have different levels of quality in the output and it would be better for it to look decent. Also, it doesn't necessarily have to be lifelike to be good. Some artistic licence can result in something great. That Bobby Moore one at Wembley is class.

Tsunami Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 The left hand/ arm is just wrong, he looks like he's leaning on a bar. I'd have preferred an open hand as well. They must have looked at hundreds of photos to choose from until the sculptor confessed he couldn't do fingers. The head is ok, the forehead is too big though. It is better than Sir Bob's though, winds me up every time I walk passed it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flip Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Sorry but that statue is terrible. It really is. I know it can't be easy to make one of those, but the fact is it looks absolutely horrible and someone was paid to actually do that. There's no way anyone could guess that's Shearer without having known about it beforehand. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Why is the statue game so weak over there? That looks like a statue of a character Shearer played in a Pixar flick. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
