Yoda sculpture

[Hauntmaster9]

This is a Yoda I started an hour ago, I know he looks like a boglin right now but I'll fix that. I've only got 3 days to finish the head sculpt so I have to fly through it and not go for 100% accuracy.
At this stage I've constructed a crude armature, added the clay and started some very rough forms. I'm not too worried about skin folds or detail right now I'm just trying to block out the main forms of the head. The only tool I've used so far is a wooden one and my hands.

BTW i know the ears are too small right now, gotta add some wire to the head to support big ones.

For being an hour's work, that's pretty good.

 

[Darth Kahnt]

Yes, absolutely. That's better than I could do in two days. :lol

About to retire for the night, it's looking a bit less Boglin like.

Looking good...almost evil...wouldnt a SITH YODA look cool.

I agree looked quite evil, especially those eyes. Heres an update, about the 4th or 5th hour now. Sadly the likeness isn't great but time constraints made me move on. I'm tightening up forms right now, getting it ready to detail. When it's cast I'll be dremeling the inner lids down so I can install the eyes closer to the lids and get that bug eyed look.

Some day I'd like to come back and take the time to do an accurate version, going this fast is very frustrating.

for 4 to 5 hours, i'd say the likeness is more than decent. excellent job, many kudos to you :thumbsup

I like your progress. For working fast you are definitely not bad - pretty cool, actually. :thumbsup

Looks great for so little time put in :thumbsup .

Can you really achieve the desired look of Yoda accurately, which does take time, that you dont have though? Why the rush?

I need to have a finished full sized yoda by Feb 13th so I cant put in the time to do it accurately.
Heres some pics I colored and added eyes to. I swiped the eyes from Jedi Dave's thread hope he doesn't mind.
