That DC sculpt is looking fantastic!

Re: OFFICIAL JAMES BOND THREAD

Hey thanks a lot everyone! Glad to hear I'm at least on the right track with this.

That's amazing dave! And I agree completely with 16k. There's too much hair. Other than that it looks great!

A smirking bond...hmm.

Yeah I agree, the hair needs to be a lot shorter especially on top. He's got such a weird shaped head that it's been a challenge trying to figure out all the different proportions or how wide or thick to make everything.

And the expression I was going for was that sort of half-smile, half-grimace thing he does a lot. Like in these pics:

Forget Skyfall, it's overdone. Concentrate on Casino Royale.

Re: OFFICIAL JAMES BOND THREAD

Haha, that was my original plan, but there aren't really any good 1/6 suits available for that movie. And plus the shorter hair he's sporting in the latter three movies is just so much easier to sculpt.

Re: OFFICIAL JAMES BOND THREAD

Davejames -- first absolutely incredible job. Really love the style of your sculpt.

Second, I would agree with Pix and say take the Casino route with alittle more hair. Either that or get a jump on the game and go Spectre.

If you build it, they will come.

Actually the front of the hair is modeled directly after his hair in the Spectre poster. It's just the rest that is a bit too thick.

Aha! I didn't connect before, but don't be fooled guys, DAVID James is who I'm familiar with and he is a big time sculptor IMO! If you haven't seen any of his sculpts you're missing some good stuff! Kirk Alyn, Dean Cain, William Shatner! I can go on and on. This Craig is looking awesome!! Keep up the good work Dave!!

Hold on a second here... So is this a case of wolf in sheep's clothing? Playing the modesty card for so long on the sly? I have to say, the level of skill shown in this Craig sculpt is not from someone who's just "fooling around"

Lol, thanks, but I am definitely not a big time sculptor. I've been doing it for quite a while, but just as a hobby on the side. And I am still new at sculpting realistic 1/6 likenesses (you just have to look at my pathetic attempts at sculpting Ford to see I still have a ways to go).

But you can see some of my stuff at davjames (David James) - DeviantArt if you want.

Re: OFFICIAL JAMES BOND THREAD

You're out of your mind, those are all some seriously strong efforts. Great stuff.

Re: OFFICIAL JAMES BOND THREAD

I always wanted to know what happends with that one?Who have seen it finished?

Skyfall Bond

Ok, where did you find this sculpt? As far as I know, Modern Life never released it. I really want one and if there's a chance to get one I don't want to miss it.

Re: OFFICIAL JAMES BOND THREAD

Ok don't laugh, but thought I'd take a shot at doing a Craig sculpt. I wanted to try something besides the usual super-serious expression, but don't know if it came across well or not.

And yeah I realize it's probably still has a loooooong way to go yet. Lol

Sweet! I really like it!

I believe it was a private commission and may never have made it beyond what you see there.

But even private comission-it could be finished and even painted.Will be very interisting to see final result.Likness was spot on (fore me).

Re: OFFICIAL JAMES BOND THREAD

It was a long time ago, if we were going to see anything we would have by now.
