Re: Kuato's Paintwork and Customs

Good job Chris! Your first serious sculpt looks more human than mine
Some people started doing their own sculpts and struggling to get the muscles around the mouth area correctly but you obviously dont have any trouble with that!

Re: Kuato's Paintwork and Customs

I have the art of toy Alex Rosss Batman figure. Its one of my favorites.

Re: Kuato's Paintwork and Customs

I hope you will be offering this Batman sculpt (and painting it too)! I have really been looking for a good Batman head and this is it!

Re: Kuato's Paintwork and Customs

Im just glad you all think it looks like Batman
Ryu- I used a mixture of super sculpey and super sculpey firm, made a head armature and then tooled it with some tools I bought at Hobby Lobby it was like a carving type set, some of them kind of looked like dental tools as well.
The Art of Toys version was very cool, but cant find it anymore and I guess thats a good thing because thats what inintially started me on this sculpt.
Thanks Jack- I had dabbled with some resculpting here and there thanks to some of the work you have done but once i saw you jumping in to full on sculpts and saw Darren do the same, I was just totally pumped to start my own, so thanks for that too Jack.
BM- I will totally offer these to all the DC/Batman freaks out there, once i am finished with modifying it in wax, I am gonna take some tutorials on casting, so im saving my money for fancy casting equipment. My wife promised me if I finally got around to sculpting she would learn how to cast for me haha, we'll see. I think she was hoping my first sculpt would be a Harley Quinn sculpture though ,
It would be cool if I could get a few other sculptors to help out with a Justice League group sculpt

Re: Kuato's Paintwork and Customs

I hope I dont dissapoint . Im a huge Batman/Justice League geek, and recently I just started sculpting a batman headsculpt, here is what i have so far. Im waiting for the wax to arrive so I can transfer it to wax and finish it off

Here it is early on

Now this is where Im at after about 4 hours of combined work

Can you tell what artist inspiration I used?

you're in the world of sculpting indeed. wow! can't wait to see some more, it's getting me all pumped up to sculpt haha

Re: Kuato's Paintwork and Customs

Hey Kuato, is there a way to contact you that I'm not seeing? Just had a few questions about a commission. Thanks!

Re: Kuato's Paintwork and Customs

Thanks DrJedi
Ryu- no problem bud, i hope you give it a shot to or if you are alreadys sculpting I hope my info helps, mixing the two sculpeys really works well for me, the firm was too stiff and flakey sometimes and the regular is too soft.
Daniel- you have been quite the inspiration for me as well my friend, im glad I pumped you up to sculpt your next portrait haha
Marfmaster- unfortunately I am not taking any commissions at the moment, thats why I disabled my pm option. but when I do take on more I will post it right here.

Re: Kuato's Paintwork and Customs

Right on, thanks for the heads up!

Re: Kuato's Paintwork and Customs

Hmmm, never thought about mixing the 2 sculpeys? I had the same concern with firm that it seemed flakey... but somewhere between the two would be great.

I need to make a run to hobby lobby

Re: Kuato's Paintwork and Customs

Chris,
Definitely put me down for a painted one. That is an amazing sculpt and I'm a big Alex Ross and DC fan. I purchased the Art of Toys head put on a DC Direct 13" body a few years ago. The head was definitely large enough to accomodate the 13" body.It would be great to have the head in a proper 1/6 size.
Here's a picture of mine:

I'm really looking forward to yours though
