Great stuff, Don! Love how these look.

Wolverine?

This is a fun thread.

Indeed! I've bulked him up a bit and tweaked some stuff here and there. He's baking up right now. The customer also wants a Venom for her boyfriend. Woot!

Nice. So you're attaching the head after the torso is baked?

So here is the revised Hulk. I'm very happy with how he's looking now. After baking, I'll bulk up his neck and back a bit and then figure out a base. I think I'm going to make a mold out of this one and cast a few copies for practice. ( I posted the previous stage for comparison)

Thanks Judge , Nagoo! I'm glad you guys are enjoying these!




Yes. Through trial and error ( a lot of error), I found that it's easier to sculpt the head and hand separately and then attach and blend together. Same with details like belts, weapons, hair, etc. One of the great things about sculpey is that you can add to the piece and bake it again and again. It gets stronger each time.

Neat!

Some updates:

Wolverine stages. In the 2nd pic I've shot him with some primer so I can see the rough areas that need sanding and touch up sculpting. Almost done.

id love to see step by step pictures on a sculpt from the armature up . . . .

I might have some, I'll check.

Adding the completed Wolverine, along with the colored version (Thanks to Gerry)




And one of my current pieces- Conan!

Cool! Your sculpting is really coming along.

Thanks Marcus! I'm glad you can see progress!

Don, have you done any of Doc Saturn or do you plan to?

None yet, but I've just made an armature that *might* become Doc bust. Not sure really. I am finishing up a Johnny Impossible that has been sitting here forever with no hands...

The statuary found in Skyrim is pretty sweet. Would you ever consider using some of that as inspiration?

I'd have to revisit the game and see, but at some point I'd like to do all kinds of sculpture. Top on my list is doing one of those cowboy by the fire types, in bronze. But I think that's a ways off.

Thanks guys!
Here's my latest personal project: Conan! My first 'real' attempt at a full size piece. 11" tall.

Very nice!

I was concerned that I sculpted the head too small, so I did a slightly larger one. Now I think the smaller one might actually be fine. I've also continued to bulk up and refine part. I slightly adjusted the back leg for a taller pose.
Thoughts?
Original head.

New larger head

Original head looks better to me.
