a bit more from the sculpting lab. - a wizard

so ive been delving more dirtily into sculpting. trying my hand here and there at more and more. all of a sudden im developing a somewhat gruesome looking table with lots of heads on spikes turning up each time i get some left over putty. still learning what i can too!

and in the meantime i have sculpted what i can now claim to be my second scalp :)
the heroquest wizard always annoyed me. so he was definately on my list to find a replacement. and because i couldnt find one. the decision was made some months ago that when i could sculpt well enough. that i was going to sculpt him.
for me the wizard just never looked heroic enough. i understand they were probably going for that naive apprentice look. but to be he ended up looking more like this guy
not very heroic, but he might be able to help you dress better whilst dungeon crawling.
so yup i made an attempt at sculpting a new wizard. and here is what i came out with.
ok now i know this is my second ever sculpt. and i know i still have a lot to learn to get to where i want to be.
anatomy is still a little off. and im struggling with eyes also (this seems to be a little bit of holy grail info that nobody wants to share) but im making advancements. i was able to apply what i had learnt from my first sculpt to create much tidier finished article here. ok he did turn out looking a little like Ric Flair. but at least now he looks a little more on the heroic side whilst still keeping that apprentice sort of look.

anyways hope you enjoy him as much as i enjoyed sculpting him :)
Peace
