Tears of the sun BW

I'm moving this one to separate thread. Head is almost completed and I have started with body for this bust. Not quite satisfied how it looks , needs more corrections.. any advice?

 

[Redcap]

Excellent likeness and I recognised who it was straight away ! Not too sure why you are not happy with it?

Thanks Gary .. head is fine for me, but torso is what's bothering me

 

[arj]

Excellent head .... immediately recognisable.

Cheers,
Andrew

I'm no sculptor Robert, but that looks great to me!

Cheer's,
Jeff.

I think this looks great Robert.......Put more work into the torso until it doesn't bother you.

If it's Bruce from the film maybe you've made life a bit hard for yourself. Wouldn't it be easier sculpting his clothes and kit rather than trying to "dress" a mannequin? Excellent likeness by the way, good luck with the rest.

I thought I posted previously, but its seems not. Anyhow, I think the head is good, just watch the bulkiness of the torso. You will need to add clothing and equipment, and if you start bulky, it will be hard to correct. Start thin and let the uniform fill out any mass he might lack. Bruce isn't a body builder type, so thinner is better.

Thanks guy's for useful tips ! Keep them coming ...

 

[robert110]

Test run with uniform ...

Looks good Robert....You still have to get the anatomy right under the under the clothes or you'll be guessing for a long time......but run with it and see where it goes.....that's how you learn............

Looks good to me.The likeness is striking and so far the torso seems to be coming along very well too.

[MrBMB]

Your doing a great job on this

 

[robert110]

Thanks MrBMB , and few new details on New Years day ..
of course I wish everybody lots of new models in progress , in stash and finished in this year , happy new year guy's !!

 

[robert110]

Well , at this point I would like to know what to do next, do you see something to correct or to re-sculpt . Please give me some input !!

 

[Scotty]

That is excellent work on the webbing but I think it looks like it's just resting on him, it should dig into his shirt with the weight of ammunition, radio, water bottles etc. Very good though, you have a great talent my friend.
Scotty.

 

[robert110]

yes, yes , yes, thanks Scotty.. that's input I needed . Sometimes I'm looking at this sculpt and don't see obvious things..

 

[robert110]

still fighting with this ... he's really hard to die (go to oven) ...
