Hola guys!

Just finished my first 100% scratchbuilt head. Here are the pictures, please let me know what you think, what can be made better, what are strong points and weak points?

Its entirely made out of Magic Sculpt 2 part epoxy putty.

You are quite an artist or sculptor should I say.
Nice work, how are you going to go about painting it?

Hola!!

Thanks for the comments
As for painting this fella, I will paint him with oils over an acrylic base, just like I always do. It will be different to paint a face that I created myself!

As for the nose, yes, it probably could be a tad narrower, but I hate doing noses, its very hard! The nose and the ears were the hardes parts, but the ears were a heck of alot easier then that damned nose!!

Keep doing this for a while and you can quit your daytime job and become a pro model builder !
Seriously, this is great work.
Two small corrections maybe : the eyebrows may be a bit heavier and the top rim of the ear may be a bit flatter where it reaches the temple.

This is probably the most stunning single piece of modeling I've ever seen by an amateur ! Making a good face is about the trickiest thing there is.

Congrats, Anders !

Hola!

Thanks Jan! Thats some very inspiring words. As far as quitting my day time job, that would be hard as I dont have one, unless you call college and shoeing a few horses a job

About the ears, I agree indeed, it almost looks like they are glued on instead of created with the childs head when born. I sanded it down a tad and it looks a little better now, will determine for sure after I prime the face. I am not sure I understand what you mean by the eye brows should be a little heavier, could you explain that one? Also, he dont really have any eyebrows sculpted, I tired it and it looked kind of funky so i just left the "bone" or whatever is above your eye sockets. Any ideas on how to make some nice looking eyebrows in 120mm?
