Being a comic geek and particularly a fan of Doug Jones I decided to take on the movie version Silver Surfer. I chose not to sculpt the cg character and instead focus on the look of the suit worn towards the end of the movie. With that in mind I took to sculpting a half scale bust. I started a basic form a while back but had no real plans for it. All I really wanted to do was try my hands at a bust. When I decided on the Surfer I had to chop up bits of the sculpt to fit the characters proportions.
Here I've started to shape the shoulders and chest. At this point I realized the sculpt needed to be taller so it could have a base. I just lifted the sculpt from the armature and added clay.
I didn't want the bust to have a static pose so I repositioned it to where he's leaning slightly. Hang ten! Below that, the abs are nearly finished and it's taking on a more statuesque feel. I also gave the sculpt/base a subtle surfboard shape.
The next update I'll focus on the face and after that the final piece. Hope you guys like it so far.
