Superman Christopher Reeve bust revised, now FINISHED 11/9/2010

Re: Superman Christopher Reeves bust wip

It looks just like a cast of Christopher head, Amazing work.
I been wondering if such silicone mask could be worn? Or is it solid.

I'm 97% sure it's not going to be a wearable silicone mask. This is for display purposes only... and it's going to be a ridiculously nice display
 
Re: Superman Christopher Reeves bust wip

its not really viable as a mask for a couple of reasons, the main being that it has been sculpted as a adult sized head so it wouldnt fit, also it would be very difficult to get an even thinkness and would fit awfull.

silicone masks are sculpted over head forms which is then used for the core to ensure a good fit

Wow! Your work has come on leaps and bounds in the last year.
Any thoughts on taking a go at a new Ledger Joker bust?

This is remarkable! I really envy you guys that can do this. Amazing talent!
 
Re: Superman Christopher Reeve bust (sculpt finished)

Like I've said before; absolutely amazing!.. :)

Can't wait to see how the silicone version turns out..
He looks a bit creepy right now with the blank eyes and no hair..

But the sculpt is stunning.
Your client is a very lucky guy/girl for sure.. :)

Fantastic work, Rich! Reeve is so difficult to capture because he really is very odd looking. Many sculpts of him - including my own - end up looking something less than human... Nice to see a serious expression on him as well! Great textures, great sculpt!
