leia's sculpts and customs (Hannibal bust, Skyfall Bond and Silva)

leia · Feb 16, 2013

Working on my first 1/6th sculpt... and I'm really struggling. I want to do a set of figures for Skyfall, and I made the mistake of starting with Silva. Javier Bardem has a really difficult face, all asymmetrical and very flat. The sculpt isn't quite right yet, but I feel like it's getting there.

Anyway, really still in progress, but I wanted to share.

Thanks for the suggestions! I deepened the bags under his eyes and added a bit to his nose, chin, and brow. This is a bit outdated since he has ears now, but here he is smoothed out a bit. (Also attaching two of my main references.)

I noticed all of the sudden that the head is a bit large. Bardem has a big head compared to other people, but it's still too big for my taste. I'm going to make a mold and shrink the head around 5%. I do a lot of molding/casting, so I'm not too worried about that. It's more annoying than anything, though, since I'm eager to get on to sculpting the neck socket and getting to his hair.
