This makes me happy!! The pose is great and I can already see a bit of Jack in the brow. You should really post those "reference pose" shots you shared with me LoL!

The anatomy is fantastic Ryan! Great execution so far, can\'t wait to see this progress; I know you\'ll kill it.

This would be a great adition to anyones collection . I\'d buy the one Bobby made but that\'s way out of my budget so hopefully this one can be a bit lower so more people can afford it . Do you plan on sculpting the hair like you did in your last piece or will you be laying hair ?

Hey, all!!

Thanks so much for the replies. I\'m glad a few of you (especially Jason) can see the resemblance so far...It still needs a lot of work, though. This piece will take many more months to complete.

Jason, I\'m NOT posting those publicly...haha!

Mike, I won\'t add any hair to this piece at all in the sculpting stage. My plan is to try for silicone castings for hand-punched hair, but that\'s too far away to confirm just yet. If I do decide for that option, it\'ll take a LOT of research and trial and error - but may be worth it if there\'s a bunch of interest. If not, then he may be cast in translucent flesh-tone resin instead.

Thanks again and cheers,

Ryan

Looks like someone has been studying their anatomy. I am beyond thrilled with your choice for an armature as well. Dynamic posing for the win! This is going to be a very popular piece. As always, if you need a second set of eyes, let me know.

Ahh ok thanks for the quick reply . I was just thinking that latex or resin would be in most peoples price budget as silicone can start at a fully finished piece in the high hundreds to thousands . Was just thinking of how a great piece like this could be affordable for everyone . But in the end , it\'s up to you man . Can\'t wait to see some more progress shots .

I think it\'s looking killer right now love it so far. I\'d be done for a Resin or Silicone piece.

James, thanks for the reply, man!! The custom armature was a must after using that dreadful CFX head. I salvaged as much clay from it as possible and threw that !#@%er in the trash. hahaha!
I will definitely keep you in mind once the finer details and super anal accuracies start to come into play and a good set of critical eyes are needed.

As for materials, I will make it in the most reasonable and affordable option, for sure. I don\'t want to price anybody out for this piece. Silicone is only a "distant possibility" at this point. Most likely, I\'ll have to use resin to wrangle up more interest. However, if the response is overwhelming, I will DEFINITELY look into the possibility of a mold for foam-filled silicone castings.

Cheers,

Ryan
