great paint as always, but agree, trevs sculpt wins out..

Fantastic work.

And WGP's Castiel from Supernatural.

This is brilliant. No denying who that is.

They both look fantastic, but I think that they are both off on two different sides of the spectrum in terms of sculpt; the Rocco sculpt's defining details are a bit too subtle, while the Trevor sculpt is a bit too exaggerated. Find thy middle ground, and he shall attain perfection. That being said, the paintwork really brings out the best in both sculpts, and, holy **** on a Popsicle stick, does Cas look amazing or does Cas look amazing?

My thoughts exactly. Without that masterful paint, I think these suffer from really capturing that Don Draper likeness. At certain angles it works, like the left side of Trevors sculpt, but straight on it loses the likeness a bit. Great character and beautiful work though

I love trevs work. I really do. But I see some David Schwimmer and Javier bardem in there. Rocco's is a little rougher but I think it's closer to draper.

I agree the Trev sculpt has a better likeness unpainted for sure, its up to the buyer I guess, Im new to the hobby and got the Rocco head for the likeness and I saw the upainted draper recast going on ebay all the time, I chose for the likeness. I think some people buy certain sculptors works just cause their fans of their work?

 

[MarfMaster]

Stunning round of paint ups, Nathan. The photo realism you manage to achieve never ceases to amaze! That's definitely the best I've seen Rocco's sculpt look (no surprise), but I still prefer Trevor's. It's strange because Trevor's sculpt can look all kinds of odd by itself in photos, but throw it on a full figure under normal viewing conditions and it looks wonderful.

 

[Rahmier84]

Wow, I agree Marfmaster,thats the best pic ive seen of that sculpt! In person im sure it looks amazing! Nathans work is probably insane in hand, hope to find out one day also

There is no mistaking it, that's Don Draper!

Thank you sir!

Love my Indy!

I respect Rocco's work, but Trev nailed Don!
Awesome finish, Marf!

I think you hit the nail on the head, both sculpts look like Draper, but either underdo or overdo the features. I think Trev's is closer though, as the features are a bit more specific and he seems more attractive.

Rocco's is a bit more realistic, but almost if he was a few years older.
