Pyle's Pirate

[garyjd]

I'm working on a 1/10 pirate bust based on a sketch by illustrator Howard Pyle. Below is the drawing along with a few pictures of the Sculpey sketch. You can follow this project more in depth on my blog http://garyminsculpt.blogspot.com/

most excellent looking sir. This would be the first pirate I would actually buy. He has so much personality.

Cool Gary!

Is this a one off or will it be produced commercially?? I would definitely drop the doubloons for one!

Carl, I'm well aware of that. This is not the first piece based on artwork that has been done before I got around to doing it. Good eye though. ~Gary

Here are the first shots of the in progress head. More to follow as I tweak it here and there.

Pyle + pirate? Now that's what I'm talkin' about! The sketch looks super Gary (full size?), looking forward to seeing how the finished piece progresses

This for yourself or commercial?

Guys, Thanks for all the comments. I'm not sure where the piece will end up I'm just trying to have some fun with the character. ~Gary

 

[Anders Heintz]

Excellent face Gary! Tons of character!!

Well John Rosengrant loves Pyle. We have had a few conversations about Pyle and N.C. Wyeth. I am sure he will not mind. Your figure is not a copy of his figure but based on the same inspiration. Your figure already looks different. In some ways closer to the original sketch. Nice work I cannot wait to see it finished.

I like this, and I want a copy of this.
Now you've beaten Warriors'. Really.

 

[garyjd]

Thanks guys. Update coming shortly.

 

[garyjd]

I should have another follow up in a few days.
