WOW count me in for one
Beautiful, Cyb.
This has been a long time coming and I gotta say... Job well done.
Only minor qualm I have is that I liked the mouth more open with the teeth exposed, but I suppose if you run them in something flexible, that's something that can be added later with some minor tweaking.
very nice...

Thats just one fantastic Yoda you have done there. :thumbsup
But I personally have one question. I think the lips should be more together, that way he looks more wise and determind if you know what I mean.
I did some work with it in photoshop and this is what I suggest, it´s just my thought

Since this thread has kinda become a tutorial on how best to approach sculpting I thought an interesting idea would be to show how I create a basic silicone mold.
Heres the first layer of silicone that was applied with a fine brush to ensure all the detail has been picked up on the surface. It took 3 hours to cure... I'll apply three more coats of pure Silicone rubber (this ensures less likelihood of air pockets forming on the molds surface) before applying a thixo mixture to make the rubber less runny. That will build the skin up a 10 - 15mm.

As a Sculptor myself I have to say with all the work you put into this Sculpt,
I can easily say it's the best Yoda Sculpt I have ever seen to this date.. :thumbsup :thumbsup

I think looking back at the older pics its just as well I didn't decide to mold it then. But by taking time over it and listening to peoples comments to help see past the rose tinted specks I think I've managed to get a closer representation than otherwise possible...

Oh and I'd like to thank a couple of guys for their brilliant reference pictures... They know who they are... The pictures I got were incredibly sharp screen grabs and very revealing Exhibition images. Their images were what ultimately led me to the finished result vis countless overlays and comparrision shots :thumbsup

do you mean getting it back in the correct position or falling in on itself?

how about a comparison shot of the initial sculpt and the final sculpt just to show the alterations that were made?
should be quite interesting :thumbsup

I mean when the mold is empty, how do you get the silicone mould to stay stuck to the mothermold so when you move it, it doesnt come away and collapse in on itself.
