Well, I'd have to say a couple of the Members on this board really peaked
My interest when it comes to Sculpting.. Their Talent is without words and
I can only wish to be as good.. This is My very first Sculpt and while I should
have picked something a little easier, I figured what the Hell

I've never seen anyone do a Vader Sculpt and by Vader Sculpt I mean one
that closely resembles the original screen used Helmet. I tried as best I
could to add all the little wonky features that the original has.. I started this
Project over the weekend and just finished tonight (monday)...
Actually I do still have some touchups (cleanup) and some things to add, but for
the most part the Face is done.. Next the Dome !!!

The first picture is normal and very distracting because of the color of the Clay
( I should have done it in black ) So The second picture is the same
as the first only I darkened it up a little to bring out more of the details..

Doug

Oh man, that has so much potential. You've caught the sense of anger. It has a fierce look to it, very rugged and very focused. Great job so far, Doug! Keep up the spectacular work!

Thanks Mac
I really appreciate it the compliment..

I know It's not perfect, but I wasn't expecting much for My first time..

Umm, you knocked this out over the weekend? My seething jealousy knows no bounds. Great work Doug!

Very cool, especially for a first sculpt! Looking forward to seeing more!

You've achieved in a first attempt what many have failed to do time and again. I can see you're aware of the various features that many people miss. My only advice at this point is to once in a while step away from the project, and to come back later with fresh eyes, and compare it with screenshots. Make a list of features as a kind of checklist to make sure you haven't missed anything. What's important is that you're happy with it. It definitely has character!

Thanks again Mac, and Everyone else too!!:)

Yeah, I've steped away many times to get a fresh set of eyes.. There are
some things that I wanted to do a little different like You'll notice the grill.
isn't perfectly sculpted making the slots look screwed up.. I made the slots
that will be later removed narrow, so on the cast I make from this I can
file the grill perfectly uniform, and ya know looking at the picture I notice
a lot more cleanup to do.. Jeesh it never ends, but I'm exteremly happy
with the results thus far..

AMAZING!!! You got skills....

Oh yeah lol:)
Something I forgot to mention is the Vader Sculpt is only the size of Your
Palm.. I've enclosed an early progress pic of it on a piece of wood.. The
orange thing in the background is the cover for an exacto knife.. I might
do a full 1:1 in the near future.. I tell you what though.. This thing was a
bitch to sculpt being so small

Doug

that is just amazing Doug!! for a first sculpt? you are highly skilled!! i cant wait to see a full size sculpt!!

Wow, did i understand you right....in just one weekend. It looks bloody amazing. Cant wait to see the pics with the dome on it.
And yes....make a 1:1. With your skills it should be possible Doug.
Keep up your great work

Wow! That looks amazing for your first time at sculpting! I’m really looking forward to seeing the dome.

As the others have said; for a first attempt this is pretty darn good. I would try to get as many details right before molding it, as it might be difficult to fix things later.

I've tried doing one in 1:6th scale and it looked like horse shit and being too impatient I stripped it, started over, stripped it, etc., several times instead of just taking my time with it. Now there is nothing left of it 'cause I squashed it in a fit of rage...

Keep up the good work.

Great Job Doug! I think you found a hidden talent there. Make sure you keep us posted on any updates.

Wow that looks very nice Doug!!!Awesome work!
