Doctor Who Silence bust sculpt

[r_j_young2003]

I thought I'd start a new Doctor Who project, and had to do a Silence. Loved these guys since they first appeared and managed to get some time this weekend to get the rough shape down, and he's huge! I know I've got to fix the symmetry, and make the eyes smaller, but any comments or advice would be greatly appreciated, or any reference photos shots that would help.
Thanks.

Thanks guys, will post some more pics when I've made some progress. It's sculpted using soft klean clay, and a lot of it!

that looks great, cant wait to see the finished piece!

Managed to sort out most of the symmetry I think and have started adding detail to one side. Think the back of the head needs to be more bulbous.

A bit more progress. Think I've got the back of the head's shape right now. Going to move on to some more of the fine detailing next.

looking really nice, if your up for suggestions, the forhead need to be a bit more baulbous and taller and the cheek bones need to be taken it a little bit

 

[fettster]

hope these help

Thanks so much fettster, the pics are really helpful, especially the first one. You're dead right about the forehead, funny how you don't really notice the obvious until someone points it out. Thanks again for the feedback.

Taken the cheeks in and added a lot to the head and I think it's made a huge difference. Thanks. Any other comments from any one would be great.
Yes, love the hyde fundraisers, a very talented group of people.

Wow! I love it....to bad i won't remember seeing it :lol

 

[ReproMan]

awesome

 

[r_j_young2003]

Thanks guys.
Spent ages trying to get the wrinkles right. Haven't really done anything as detailed before so it's been a steep learning curve. Just got the back to do then it's ready to mould.
Any one got any tips on not losing details when adding the clay dividers?
