Over the last 3 years...at least I think it's been that long, I've been working on this in my spare time...
The Dark Knight Returns by Frank Miller. In my opinion the BEST comic book ever written. I also love the artwork and how the Dark Knight is protrayed. Big, Bad and Violent..just like me....
The headpiece and cowl still havent been molded after all this time because it's just not completely done I think. I keep tweaking it and changing small stupid things on it. :confused
The mouth area will be a working prosthetic, or at least that's the idea.
Here's the head, cowl...probably seen it posted before so just consider this a shameless plug by my part... :love
And this is the torso. Water clay sculpt. It weighs just over 100lbs. Sculpted on the same life cast as the Begins chest but with a crap load more clay on it. It's actually the second one I've done as the weight of the first sculpt caused the whole thing to collapse one evening. Yea...I wanted to cry. I'm usually pretty good at handling, working and keeping water clay sculpts alive over time but this one got away from me the first time.
Here's the current one.
I'm going for that older look. Someone who's obviously been in great 'bulk' shape their entire lives, but as the years have gone on that same muscle, while still present, has that kind of sag look to it. Also I'm going for a look of a body under some kind of tights. That's what those creases are meant to be but for now just really a work in progress. Typical spandex type batman costume look I suppose.
It's a big sculpt. Chest is over 55 Inches around and the stomach area is over 50 inches around. It's biiig but that's what I wanted. It's gotta work with that headpiece. And who knows, maybe even some other custom stuff if I ever find the time to get to it.
Enjoy.
