Yeesh. It's almost like his face is too big for his head.

Here is a comparison. It looks close but not feeling it. I was considering to buy this after the new photos shown up but this is the situation when the statue features are there but somehow something is off. The craftmanship is beautifull but I think the empty expression killing the statue for me.

Something is off with the eyes, maybe proportionally off or something. They could have just used the 1st prototype. Maybe blitzway will give it a shot in 1/4 scale in the future
Be careful with comparisons like that. The focal length and lens type are completely different on those photos so it will never compare favourably. I did a similar comparison with a screencap from the video where the camera was further away and the proportions of everything match up much better. I will be amazed if anything better than this ever comes along.
That's Superman. That's Clark Kent. And that's Christopher Reeve. I'm thrilled with how good this looks. Nothing will top it for a long, long time in my opinion.
I don't know...It's possible, but I'm still putting my money down on lighting, camera filters, and shadows. If you compare the pics on JND's site for the pre-order, you'll notice that all photos are more washed out/cooler toned compared to the new photos. It's easiest to see when you compare the suit colors.
I think the warmer colors bring more life and warmth into his face and reducing shadows help bring CR into focus better, combined with the better styled hair of the production piece.
In any case, it's brilliant so we can leave it at that
This will always be one of the best Chris Reeve sculpts. Still hasn't been beaten. Pity it never got made.
That looks good, but I can't count digital sculpts without seeing a real printed version first.
Luc Begin on IG. It was a personal project he was working on with a friend.

This looks a lot better.
Sure, it's a great digital sculpt but what I've found is that it's extremely rare to find an artist who can make a physical version of their digital sculpt look as good as what JND have done with theirs. The finish quality on the JND skin painting alone is better than I've seen on 1:1 life-size Silicone sculpts. We're all looking for perfection, but must also acknowledge the fact that it's almost impossible to get anything as perfect as we want, so I'll gladly go with an overall superb high quality piece like what is on offer here from JND. As marker2037 says, it's like comparing apples to oranges. There are some phenomenal digital sculpts of lots of characters, but if they remain in the computer, it doesn't really do anything for my collection display! LOL
