I think you should "pull" more on the painting, it looks a little "dull"... So far it's just "good", make it GREAT!:thumbsup

Well... The PHOTOS make it look good (not great), but in that lighting scenario, 10 to 1 we're losing detail... Bet it looks even better in person!

That's an awesome sculpt !

Maybe try some different lighting, I think the paint looks great.

you should get some moss and blotch it around his hair line by his side burns and under his neck. Awesome man, I love Beetlejuice and about time someone made a 1:1 bust...awesome work

A great sculpt from a cult movie!

 

[Trilogy]

You've captured him superbly.

+1 on the lighting. The makeup looks a little light especially around the eyes. Keaton likeness is spot-on though. I would like to see more pics in daylight if you ever take any. Nice to see a sculpt of Beetle...... oh wait better not say the B word.

This will sound odd, but it looks too much like Keaton and not enough like Beetlejuice.

Superb sculpt. Very impressed. Agree on dirtying up the paint-job a bit more... but man. Would LOVE to have that crazy cool looking bust! :thumbsup

Nice sculpt,good likeness. Try taken it outside and photograph him, nothing better than natural light. Also when you painted him did you start with a flesh base? And then add the pale flesh color and then a light layer of white. Its hard to tell from the pics.

I see what you are saying....I was trying to capture the "It's Showtime" face he made....this was my 2nd likeness attmpt so it really wasn't sure how it would come out if I was to do a really wacked out expression so I opted for the more relaxed "sinister" stare instead

Superb sculpt. Very impressed. Agree on dirtying up the paint-job a bit more... but man. Would LOVE to have that crazy cool looking bust! :thumbsup

the lighting is really harsh and so was my camera...I used my phone to take the pics....my wife had the good camera all day yesterday so I was left to use my cell phone...I actually didn't think that they came out that bad..but I see that the detail is washed out...I guess I was a little too eager

thanks for all the tips and honesty guys....I'm lovin' it all:thumbsup

I was really close to making it with real hair...but I really wanted to practice may hair sculpting ....I really would like to do one with the real rooted hair at some point

Great...

Now make the 1:1 body...

LOL:lol...if I had the room to do it I totally would!

seeing sculpted hair brings a tear to my eye... :cry


Great bust! I know firsthand these things are pain to make look good in pictures - try taking some out in the sunlight.
