Wow...

Again @Evan I’ve said it a thousand times but you really need to post more . :)

Thanks bros...for the encouraging words. Chris this is my feeble attempt.

Do more! :)

Between the deep hash comas and fighting with the landlord it's tough....but I will try.

Those excuses sound to me like two more stories you need to share.

Brilliant stuff @Evan!
And good luck with the landlord and the comas!

Indeed, it almost sounds like the beginning of a plot outline for Bubba Ho-Tep 2.

I finally solved the issue with the landlord!

Blood Simple, one of my favorite Coen Bros films.

Mine too :)

I miss MEW.

Worked a little more on this one. Trimmed and burned the seam lines, made a little set of acrylic teeth
and put some glass eyes I had in. Need to fill in some little imperfections and then I can finally paint the thing and put hair on it.
I will distress the teeth and eyes according to how far I go with the color on the head.

Damn nice stuff @Evan. You are a genuine artist. Very impressed.

This is great, I've been studying your pics pretty hard core looking at the shapes you get out of stuff, hope to share something new soon.

Scott - that deserves a gif response if I knew the secrets to that.

Bez - Thanks a bunch for the kindly words. Glad you are digging the pics. I look forward to working on this when I get a chance. One aspect is I know you guys appreciate this kind of stuff. Makes it fun to post here.

Hatter 313 - I am happy that in some way I am encouraging that old flame you had for sculpture. I look forward to seeing your work. Just have fun with it and no pressure. Just simple fun.

That goes both ways, Brother Evan. I know I check in a bit more when you're on a bender, artistic or otherwise.

I think that’s whats been so nice about coming back to it now, it’s just for me, no pressure. If I get an Idea I can set some time aside and work at it, if it ebbs for a bit there’s no one looking for results: nice to have a tactile hobby again haha.

I had to do some repair work to this guy, thought I could get away with leaving the armature in and there was some cracking around the jaw line. It kind of made his face a little more interesting, so I’m pretty pleased with the stylized way he came out.

Another angle, pics are proving consistently too large to post from my phone for some reason lately

@Hatter, that is also some very nice work! Very cool.

@Hatter - That guy looks tough! Nice work.

Hatter - Nice...I am kind of getting a Poe vibe to the face for some reason...an angry Poe. :)

Ha, well spotted. he had hair at first but the head shape was coming off too flat, and there was absolutely a Poe resemblance. When i re-sculpted the top of his head i decided i liked him better bald and didn't redo the hair.

Finally had time to get back to this guy. Painted him and now starting the hair work.
Have most of the top of the head done. Need to do the eyebrows, eyelashes and
a little beard, neck and face stubble to put a some bluish, green into the cheeks and jaw.
Hair work is an incredibly tedious process. Most of the hair on the head is glued on
in rows but the hairline, eyebrows, eyelashes are single and two hairs at a time inserted.
Spent an entire Saturday just doing the hairline....got to be a machine invented for this!!

There is a few areas I am going to punch up with some gelatin pustules on parts of the head
and face.
