Bela Lugosi's Dracula Greyscale Silicone Bust

[Julianna Maz]

I finally finished my final major project for my degree and got to show him yesterday! He's my first attempt at a likeness sculpture, and includes handmade epoxy eyes, hair punched hairline (about two inches back, and then the rest glued), punched eyebrows and eyelashes, 3d modelled and printed medallion, and so so so many hours of work.

Very Impressive! The dedication and work you put into him really show!

It's great to see you molding process, too.

Thanks!! It's definitely not my prettiest mould, but I spent way too long on the sculpting and ended up having one day to get the moulding done start to finish

You really nailed the expression. Beautiful work.

Thank you so much! I have to say, I'm really thankful to one of my teachers who said to me towards the end when I was almost done to just let go of whether or not it looked exactly like Bela Lugosi and just focus on making it look  real and have the right feeling and expression

This looks phenomenal. And this being your first likeness sculpt blows me away. He has so much character and attitude and almost ferocity while still being a strong likeness - capturing both the actor and character in one piece. Impressed.
