Yeah he's not easy to replicate, however I'm no portrait sculptor so hopefully some paint will help with the likeness, which I tried to get somewhat close despite the challenges of this one. I based some of the pose on the photo on the right, and the strut was one of those things he typically...

Here's my latest ready for paint, guys. It's a 54mm of Mick Jagger of the Rolling Stones, at some point in the early 70's. It is based on a couple pictures of him taken during concerts. This was challenging from all aspects, because his body language is unique and very difficult to capture to...

T What Richie said. This book is gold if you're a sculptor I'm this hobby.

Stefano, beautiful work on both sculpting and painting.

Dimitrios, excellent work on this bust!

You ain't kidding, Steve. Though I don't know how well a pot-smoking Hindu shaman would sell ;)

Nicely done sir. Can't go wrong with a Poste Militaire.

Many thanks brother. Unusual subjects are kinda my thing...got bored with WWII Germans years ago ;)

Just a bit more progress on this guy. Next up are the longer dreadlocks and more bulking up of the beard. I found some new pics of a Sadhu with a wicked cool dreadlocked beard which I think would give this guy more character. More soon. Cheers, Stephen

Love it dude. That stare is eerie and it helps give an already great piece that little something extra.

Dude, save yourself some trouble and paint the seam lines on with a western-cut shirt. Just sculpt the basics of the shirt. I sculpted a figure of myself and my wife for our wedding cake, and I had a pearl-snap style western shirt...painting the seam lines at the shoulders and on the back is the...

Colin, thanks much dude. Steve, I appreciate it. Will definitely be different. Thanks Carlos. I cannot take credit for the original head. I think it's an old John Rosengrant sculpt. Bobby, thanks sir. David, much appreciated. I agree. Will be cool to see Pete paint this one up. Appreciate...

Well, it's finally ready to go. Now it's off to Iowa for some paint. Happy with how it turned out. Cheers, Stephen

Here's my newest 120mm bust in progress. It's a Sadhu, or a Hindu shaman. These dudes are pretty cool, they give up all their possessions and family, etc, to go on a path of spiritual enlightenment. And a lot of them smoke marijuana all day, every day, to get there. Not my thing, but gotta...

Thanks Mike! Here it is before primer.

Thanks guys! Just some buttons to add and a few things to clean up and this one is finished. More soon. Cheers, Stephen

Really dig this, Adrian. I have to say what others have already which is this one is closest to the photograph versus other versions I've seen. Looking forward to seeing this progress buddy.

Work on the lips and mustache as well as weathering on the coat.

Gents, the painting of this bust is coming along. The hat is painted as is the shell jacket, now for collar lace and shading/highlighting the coat. More soon. Cheers, Stephen

Got the hair mostly complete...still some small groupings of strands to add.
