Working on a bust for a client. Here’s my work so far and some of the references I’ve been using. It’s been a little tricky because this man’s face (some former president of Africa or something) changes quite a lot with age and expressions and every single photo I have from the client looks like a different person, like he had 15 brothers or something XD
In any case it’s been going well, client is happy and I’m including some of the earlier stages just to show and emphasize that when it comes to sculpting you need to take your time chipping away as if you were working with marble or ice sculptures.
I’ve mostly focused on the face and more specifically the eyes. I am now moving to the mouth area and will finish the rest of the body by tonight or tomorrow.
The client stressed that the facial details are what’s most important to him so there’s still much to do around the face, adding and adjusting little things here and there.
Dude that is really good! Well done. And can imagine with the different references how tricky it is haha. But it’s coming out great! definitely post some of the updates man. We’ve missed your sculpts!
Thanks Alex! I missed showing off my sculpts too lol ?? Nah seriously though this might be the first sculpt I’m actually proud of I really like how it’s turning out!
Will definitely post the final result too
yeah a lot of what I’m doing at this stage is small things here and there trying to get as close as possible to what I see from the references and to what the client wants.
it;s getting to the point where even I myself have to compare the previous iterations because I can no longer see what I’m doing, it’s all a blur at this point xD
and just so people don’t think I’m a blender snob now (which I’m kind of becoming one) here’s the scepter I made in blender, a mix of very basic modelling and a few sculpting tricks
