My Michael Jackson Thriller Zombie Bust WIP

[RussellSculpts]

I have to say I was a big fan of the "Thriller" album, even went to his concert here in Jacksonville when I was 13. I attribute the video in part for inspiring me to pursue art and costuming. His passing inspired me to do a tribute. Anyway, thought I'd post pics of my progress. Tell me what you think.

Awesome. Cool idea

 

[hoverboy]

That looks great! It'll be really cool to see it all painted up. Great idea!

 

[NakedMoleRat]

Awesome! I think the nose needs to be swept up a little, and a bit thinner in the center, otherwise just awesome!

 

[Jarvis B]

Way Cool

 

[Droidboy]

Will the nose be removable? j/k!

Looks good. I'm listening to MJ right now.

 

[Oktopus]

mouth is a little low, Nose needs to be swept up, yeah

 

[Trilogy]

Cool idea or a bust.
It's coming along very nicely. I look forward to seeing it complete.

LOL!:lol

The bust looks very good! And I think mouth and nose looks fine as is.:thumbsup

VERY nice. Still one of my favorite albums. Will you be offering these or is this for your own private colllection?

 

[RussellSculpts]

Thanks for your comments everyone, it's a little difficult to get his likeness with the prosthetics and trying to stay true to how he looked then. His face has changed so dramatically over the years.

I think I'm happy enough with the sculpt( still some final tweaking to do) to go ahead with the mold. So YES if there is interest I'll offer it. I can't wait to paint one up, I think it has potential to really look good with the right paint job.

Very nice work, can't wait to see it painted up

 

[SurferGeek]

Very cool likeness!

Do the lip edges appear kinda sharp or is it just the lighting?

Odd that I never noticed that you are in Jacksonville. Where abouts?

I could soften them up a bit. Thanks.
Oh, I live off Hodges Blvd. and work downtown at Sally Corp., the animatronic company, not the beauty supply place.

Not sure if it's the angle of the picture, but the cheek seems to protrude too much. Also, the lower eye socket part seems to be too pointy at the ridge. Other than that, I think an awesome job. One to be proud of.

 

[armandb]

Great work, the best likeness I have seen :thumbsup

 

[geto10]

Can't wait to see the final product.

 

[Chewie15]
