Hannibal Lecter Bust - 1:1 Sculpt WIP

[CAKComedyProps]

Hey everyone, I’m thinking about starting a 1:1 Hannibal bust. I was going to buy a lifecast, but since my funds are a little tight I’ve decided against it. If anyone has any measurements I could use, like how long is the nose, etc. it would be greatly appreciated.
I’m going to start sculpting in a bit and if I don’t have measurements then I’ll just guess. I’ll also keep the thread updated as I work.

Started roughing out the face. Cardboard mask for rough scale.

My sculpt along with my reference for the expression. Still a long way to go...

Bit more work done, starting to get the look I’m going for I think.

Great start! Looking good!

I know hot Toys made a figure of Hannibal Lecter. You could scale up from the images online, if nothing else they may provide some useful reference for multiple angles.
It's looking good though! You can totally tell who it is.

I am using the figure for some reference to the sculpt actually, but mostly I’m using screen caps and bts shots.
Thanks a lot! I’m excited to keep working when I get back from vacation.

Added the base and the back of the head. Still needs some more work and some texture, and it will be finished. When it’s cast in resin I’ll add real hair and then it should really come together.

Adding some texture and wrinkles

The mold for this bust’s sister project is almost finished as well.
