Brandon Lee/Crow Bust Sculpt - Pics
I'm calling this my first real full scale bust. I did the 'Dead End' one,but that was originally just going to be a cowl and the face was added as an after-thought,whereas this one is specifically designed to be a bust.
I started this back in the late Fall,but changed it around three times before I settled on the final look.
First,no expression,then a little bit with a smile,until finally the more sinister grin.
Changing these features basically meant starting over each time,then I didn't do anything to it for months because I've been so busy.
I just started back in the last few days and have made some progress,so here it is so far...

Re: 1:1 Brandon Lee/Crow bust
I see Brandon. When I worked in St Louis one of the guys with whom I worked lived with Brandon for awhile when he was in college. They were good friends. We were at work when he received the call that Brandon had been shot.

Re: 1:1 Brandon Lee/Crow bust
Thanks guys. Yeah,I remember hearing it on my way home from work. I instantly thought what a weird coincidence it was.
The front shot is weird. His face looks a little 'puffy',but it isn't. I just can't get a decent shot of it.
It's Monster Maker's clay,so it's real gray,but here it comes out a different color and looks shiny,but it isn't. His face is actually flat and dull and very textured.
The 3/4 shot is probably the best of these for likeness,but I think it looks like him so far.
Everybody who comes over knows who it is instantly,so I got that going for me.
It's still a WIP,so I have lots left to do.
I need a better camera.
More to come soon and hopefully some good clear detail shots of the facial skin texture and hair.

Re: 1:1 Brandon Lee/Crow bust
Really nice,
Ive been thinking many times where Brandon Would be today if he was still alive.
Would he be up with the big hollywood actors today? Im pretty sure he would.

Re: 1:1 Brandon Lee/Crow bust
Thanks guys.
I replaced and re-sculpted the eyes and nose,as per Mel's suggestion of using wooden balls for the eyes.
I didn't have glass eyes or cheap ones,so I sculpted them in,then she gave me an obvious alternative.
He looks a lot better now.
I'll throw some new pics up tonight when I get a chance.
