Vader Sculpture

I like what I'm seeing already. The basic shapes are being blocked out and already looks great.

Hi guys, finally the clay has arrived, so I can continue the work! :thumbsup

I added head and neck material, but now I'm focused on the head! It is difficult to give it the right shape, but slowly I see improvements! The magic of the Vader mask is asymmetry, but it is also a nightmare to sculpt! :rolleyes

Looking good. A good way for us to determine shape is if you photograph the subject from about 6 feet back and use zoom, if you have it. That will give the best representation of the shape. :cheers

Thanks Carsten for the tip, I add a six foot photo! And I also add the photo that continues the sequence in the same place and from the same distance! I added the tubes on one side, which helps me sculpt the neck! :thumbsup

Hello guys! Here are the mask's latest advances, and I'll add a 6-foot photo roughly! I'm glad I redid the sculpture, so it's much faster than continuing to modify the fiberglass of the previous mask... :wink:

The latest changes mainly concern the neck and the size of the head! Very difficult to sculpt well! Now I can focus on the details!

Hi guys, I started to smooth the bulk of the mask, to start seeing the finished general appearance! I add photos in the side view! If someone to recommend something we gladly accept suggestions! :thumbsup

You really have a good eye for shapes. One thing, and I may be completely wrong, but the neck seems a bit too flared right down at the very bottom edge.

Thanks for the tip, the neck actually hasn't had a careful job yet! After publishing these photos I realized that the biggest defect is the angle of the mouth and the lower tusk tube! The corner must form a 90 degree angle, something less to be precise, but here it is too closed! I've already started working on it!
