Re: Johnny Depp / Jack Sparrow Bust WIP

Here's the best I could do, not exact, but somewhat close:

***** man! I think this is your best yet! I'd soften the "stretch" lines on HIS left under the cheek and you'd have it completely nailed... Can't wait to see a copy of this! Will you be doing in silicone?

Re: Johnny Depp / Jack Sparrow Bust WIP

Thanks bud! I'm trying to improve with each new work and you guys are certainly helping with that.
Hopefully a lot of the sharpness of some of the lines will get softer once I start the detail/texture work. I also just tweaked the smirk side to get closer to the reference.

Holy crap, that looks freaking awesome! Amazing likeness.

With those skills at work, I'd love to see you do Luke ESB/ROTJ (depending on the wig style, could go either way).

Re: Johnny Depp / Jack Sparrow Bust WIP

Thanks!
Never had anyone commission me to do a Luke yet, but maybe one day someone will hire me to do it.
I have another bust in the works after this one which will be a bit of a challenge, but I'm excited to get started.

Take a look at the ears. The face looks perfect to me.

Re: Johnny Depp / Jack Sparrow Bust WIP

Thanks Dutchman and KaanE. The ears are next on the list and then skin textures.

Re: Johnny Depp / Jack Sparrow Bust WIP

Not sure if this is going to be a Jack Sparrow Only bust...but ole Captain jack has a scar through his eyebrow... of course it could be painted on instead of sculpted. Just an observation.
I need to be on the list for this...looking incredible.

This is looking fantastic. The only points I can make are the smoothing of the laugh lines, just slightly, and the ears. I definitely want one!

Holy crap that is amazing work! This is why I love this community. I can't wait to see this finished. Keep up the good work.

Re: Johnny Depp / Jack Sparrow Bust WIP

The face looks spot on to me. So does HIS right ear. The left ear looks like the same shape and size, but the inner part of it looks too small.

Was going to say the same re: the ears :lol

Absolutely cracking sculpt Vash

Ely, I wouldn't worry about the scar issue. This bust could be used for many different Depp characters.

Re: Johnny Depp / Jack Sparrow Bust WIP

Thanks so much everyone! I'll finally be able to get to the ears today and get initial texture work started. I'll update with pics this evening.
As far as character details, I'll leave that in the finishing/painting stage so that the owner can choose which details to put. OST Jack even has the "x" scar on him that can be added.

This is amazing! I may look into buying it or have you do something for me.... really unbelievable

Re: Johnny Depp / Jack Sparrow Bust WIP

Thanks jmannrock.
Here's the start of the texture work, still a ways to go, but I'm still at it. Had to get up close and personal to take the pic with macro:

Re: Johnny Depp / Jack Sparrow Bust WIP

This is unreal! What do you use to do the texture? Any suggestions where to go for good technique tips?
