First Mask Sculpt (freddy)

[carter1010 ●]

Hello All,Well, this is my first attempt at a mask bust and of course it has to be my favorite anti hero of all time, Freddy. Its a part 1 version of the mask with lots of deep burn marks and that kinda flappy look his skin has in that first film. I haven't seen to many in that style yet, so thought I would give it a shot. Any comments would be appreciated. I am looking forward to adding a bunch of details to him. <img src=\"http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v491/carter1010/freddy1209a.jpg\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" /><img src=\"http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v491/carter1010/freddy1209b.jpg\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" /><img src=\"http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v491/carter1010/freddy1209c.jpg\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" /><img src=\"http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v491/carter1010/freddy1209d.jpg\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" />Thanks,Carter

i agree with mike.and as i have said to another member recently about the part 1 Freddy sculpt:<i>"just my opinion: you should first study the correct "shape" of Robert's head/ears/nose/chin etc. etc. without the Freddy make-up. before thinking about adding burns/scars detailwork".</i><a href=\"http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000387/mediaindex\" target=\"_blank\">http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000387/mediaindex</a><a href=\"http://www.starpulse.com/Actors/Englund,_Robert/Pictures/\" target=\"_blank\">http://www.starpulse.com/Actors/Englund,_Robert/Pictures/</a><a href=\"http://www.starpulse.com/Actors/Englund,_Robert/Pictures/index.html?page=2\" target=\"_blank\">http://www.starpulse.com/Actors/Englund,_R...dex.html?page=2</a>Take care,Ronald

hello again,Thanks for the comments guys. Really looking for as much advice as I can get, negative is very welcome as that is the only way to improve. I think its coming along and I took everything that was said to heart and I think I addressed some of the issues. Please let me know what else needs work or what looks right / wrong ect. Please keep in mind it is a part 1 sculpt, and from what I can tell from the photos, the nose isn't really pointed downwards, and the cheeks seem more full on the part one. Any part 1 photos of either Robert at that age or Freddy would be very appreciated as well. <img src=\"http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v491/carter1010/fredtopdown.jpg\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" /> <img src=\"http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v491/carter1010/fredfront-1.jpg\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" /><img src=\"http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v491/carter1010/freddy34view.jpg\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" /><img src=\"http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v491/carter1010/fred34view2.jpg\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" />Thanks so much,Brian

Hi Brian,If this is your first sculpt, I think maby you should start with a nothing piece.Meaning dont try a Freddy, Jason, Leatherface,Michael, or anything like that until you get better at sculpting. I say this as someone who is wanting to start sculpting as well, so dont think I'm being a jerk. I have talked to a couple of people about doig this and that is what they tell me. Hell, I was told to sculpt and then smash that and sculpt it again and again until you get it down. I hope we both can learn this great craft!Best wishes,Tom <img src=\"style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\"\" border=\"0\" alt=\"smile.gif\" />

[puckface ●]

what type of clay are you using?

[carter1010 ●]

Hey Puckface, I am using the NSP medium right now. I am going to try Pro Clay next I think. I like the NSP, but the Pro Clay looks like fun to. Fettster I made some of the changes you suggested already that I noticed last night when comparing the pieces in photoshop. I took the chin and jawline up and sucked in the cheeks a bit and made the head a bit taller. Here are some photos of those changes. I hope I am not bothering anyone posting my progress. Also, here are a couple of part 1 photos I have for reference. <img src=\"http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v491/carter1010/1509fred.jpg\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" /><img src=\"http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v491/carter1010/1509fredfrfont.jpg\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" /><img src=\"http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v491/carter1010/1509nohatfred.jpg\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" /><img src=\"http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v491/carter1010/freddy1.jpg\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" /><img src=\"http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v491/carter1010/freddy4.jpg\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" />Thanks again for your input, it is making me better and push things further.Brian

The only thing I can say is keep on trying I'm still working on my first sculpt,The face might need to be a little thinner.It's definitely looking a lot better since the first pics though.Feedback is what its all about I wish you luck with your first piece!
