Some guys in the other thread didn't seem to thrilled with my sculpt. The old ego kicked in when I read that, so what do you think of this one?

 

[SovereignStudio]

This is what I'm going with. After I've given him hair and a beard, of course. It's the sculpt from Sean's photos, modified. When I originally posted that sculpt unpainted, everyone loved it. I couldn't figure out what the hell went wrong. It was his eyes. I have a tendency to set eyes to eyes too deep sometimes, and that can really ruin a portriat; that Herman Munster effect. It seldom shows with unpainted sculpts, since it just reads as a random shadow and people overlook it. But paint really brings that out. 90% of a person's life is in the eyes. Screw that up and the portriat's accuracy and realism are gone.

I brought his eyes forward, with thinner eyelids, and reworked the forehead a bit. I now it freaks some of you out when I paint the eyes without painting the face It's just easier to see what you're working with when you have EYEballs and not just balls.

The painted head.....

 

[vader70450]

looks great bro...cant wait for this one!!!!!! and thanks for the update

 

[SovereignStudio]

OK, here is the final version (hopefully). Try to ignore those odd shadows in the face. This is clay over a painted sculpt.

 

[vader70450]

looks sick bro! final version is bad ass

 

[SovereignStudio]

Painted, roughly. It's painted over clay.

Whoa. One of your very best sculpts, without a doubt.

Your gracious ability to take constructive criticism has really paid off with this one. Congrats!
