It may have been mentioned, but how did you do her teeth? Sigourney Weaver has a very distinctive mouth, so I think that's what really sells your sculpt.

Wow, Steve, this is up there with Jordu's Grand Moff Tarkin! I'd love to know how you achieve such real skin colours.

Its all to do with translucency and building up subtle layers. Takes ages!

I love this sculpt!!!
I also love the picture you put up with the WIP for the teeth... reminds me of the scene from Minority Report "It's what we call an orgy of evidence"... How many sculptors would be "people of interest" due to the reference photos they pin to walls
Brilliant stuff... very inspirational (though also from this point a seemingly unattainable ideal to reach... it's always worth reaching).

A lot of sculptures fail to catch the actual translucency of human skin. It's so hard to replicate without an actual translucent layer. I've done some work with 3D renders that utilize the skin's reaction to light properly, but it's very hard to get it just right.
Don't be modest; you have pulled off something amazing.
I look for updates every day.
I couldn't imagine what you'd charge for one of these, if you could reproduce them "easily".
Worth every penny; whatever that number may be.

Whenever we try to sculpt celebrities, it's the skin surface that we cannot ever get to look convincing. And yet for probably 98% of all the footage we have ever actually seen of the real person, they were wearing heavy pancaked makeup on their entire face. Ironic.
