Re: Another TDK sculpt
Bob- it looks like the face is a resculpt to match Bale's leaner" face (cough *gaunt* cough)... or is that just the lighting? And as always, KILLER work. Hats off to you! What I wouldn't give ;)

Re: Another TDK sculpt
On the Bale sculpt, I tweaked the nose, but of course that does nothing to affect the mask. Mostly I reduced the head dia. to about 23.5". measured just above the eyebrow. Thats what you see, then I pulled a fiberglass pos. so I could sculpt something that I could run foam in. Then the foam will get painted to look like urethane.
I started the cowl today, after looking at this post, and a few movie shots, I made some adjustments.
don't think I'm quite there yet.

Re: Another TDK sculpt
OK it makes sense.... your eye detail is my favorite part. It's interesting how some guys sculpt on heads with "full" ears.... don't the movie cowls flatten them a bit? And directly related, do they sculpt movie cowls on full-eared heads or pinned-down ears? Never noticed it before, it is just a lot more prominent with a hairless full headcast... I can't wait to see the finished painted cowl (on a full-size figure heh...)!
