Perfect.
Like the way he is coming out.
Rene, are you gonna sculpt the Iron Cross to???

Marc

No Marc.

I deliberately took this more common Coburnlook so I can use the torso for other subjects.
Later on the jacket with the cross can be easily added.

I just ike to empasize the character of Steiner.
Dont be afraid, the bust itself will have enough challenge!

Rene

Yes, he has alot of character and that will be challenge enough, no misunderstanding on that.

Marc

pockets and wrinkles under construction...

Really enjoying this thread, seeing Steiner metamorphosise has been enlightening. Hat off to you Reneé

Rob

thank you Rob!

My brushes shivering when they see this.
Can't wait.

marc

for an idea:



thanks Marc!

René

Watched the movie yesterday evening just to look at the colors.
He is allready awesome

Marc

Maybe I will cover up the ears a bit in the end and do some refining of the hair.
Also notice his dogtag.

basic things first.

Did some sketching by pencil, create more depth and trying to locate less perfect spots.

Did you do the sketching on the real bust or is it photoshop sketching??

Marc

no, just drawing with a real pencil Marc.
afterwards scanned again.

His shoulders will be lifted a bit more and his neck smaller as will be the collar.
Took some pics from myself in some kind of blouse James wears for checking.

René

some corrections.
Neck, widening torso ( suspenders look more natural now), shoulders more lifted. less collar and different type of wrinkle on the arms.
The skinny guy Coburn is more significant this way.

This is impressive Rene!
Good luck with the final stretch.

Adrian

Much better!

I do admire your persistence with your projects, it is the mark of a craftsman, striving for best results.

Having compared the screen grab & the alterations to the neck you propose, I can now see it, too!

Cheers!

Jamie

best results, sure!

I have to, remember I dedicated this one to Antonio :awesome:

who gave me good advice on this one together with Jiver.

thanks folks!

Rene

Bonjour René

J'espère que tu feras des tirages de ce buste !

Si c'est le cas je t'en prends un direct

Dominique

oui Dominique,

je vais lui preparer pour tirage et tu peux t' incrire chez moi pour acheter *
(* there will be a few casts of Steiner which I'm willing to sell when ready)

Rene

I see you improved the neck, it looks much better now (it was too wide), but I think that one more small thing should be fixed, those two strenocleidomastoids (man what a complicated word), should go more diagonal up towards jaw bones, and form a letter "V", in your case it looks more like a letter "U", this shows what I mean:



Looking forward to see this painted !!!
