Dear all,

in my struggle to finish my Dutch figure 1/16 I am in need of some relief.

Think it's good to generate my energy by doing what I like most...bustes, characters

Nice start Rene !

Re: new buste 1/9

thank you Darko...

the hours I have left I try to spend...shaping and sketching still...







..and trying to be aware not to characterize too much

though it's tempting...

René

Re: new buste 1/9

still going strong...

Re: new buste 1/9

great Renè, it's going on the right direction!

Antonio

Re: new buste 1/9

thanks Antonio,

cranium I'll try.
separate eyes,...the eyes are already fixated.

I will pinpoint the iris more next time.

Re: new buste 1/9

I really like the character you sculpt in this head.
Looking forward to your next step.

Re: new buste 1/9

you can be sure of that

René

Re: new buste 1/9

hummm, yes, yes, the likeness is poping out, great keep the good amigo!

Re: new buste 1/9

oh man, I have an itchy feeling to start polishing but some things need to happen first.

Since the eyeballs are baken and positioned I just gave them some accent with a marker.

really helps.

Re: new buste 1/9

















ok.

I dedicate this topic to Antonio.

it's absolutely no sense, but I hear this guy whisper in my ears at every adaption I make.

but still.

A tribute to one of the finest sculpters on this world.

Re: new buste 1/9

wow, my honor Renè
yes I'm taking note of every move you make and I will kick your ass if you go wrong!!!
dont you think it's a bit soon to make such a statement? I take as a lovelly compliment.
thanks my friend, keep with that excellent work!!!

Re: new buste 1/9

for me you are a sculptor who picks up a lot of detail in relatively short time and is able to project this in a way I like very much.

You thought me not to be afraid of the clay and just start sketching with it.

René:awesome:

Re: new buste 1/9

I think it is best sculpture of Herge I have ever seen before Rene, bravo a quuand Tintin:lol:

Re: new buste 1/9

You gave me a little chuckle Winston.
Since I am not planning to give Herr Gay a shot here I studied a bit further...





jaws were not correct.

A little angel whispered in my ear...

Re: new buste 1/9

Great work Rene, lot of character, but very realistic and far from caricature - hard to acomplish
