Completed Spock Prime bust

[davejames]

Hey guys. I think last year sometime I showed some of the Trek busts I was making. Well here's the first one I finally got around to finishing-- of Spock Prime.

This is the outfit he was wearing at the end of the movie (although it looks like I probably need to paint it a little darker...)

Wow! That is incredible work!

There are no words. That really is a startling likeness. What medium do you work in, and do you have a link to other pieces you've finished (or are working on)?

(edit: never mind... I visited your home page by right-clicking on your user name and following the bread crumb trail. I am absolutely in pea-green envy of your talent. )

Thanks! It's just super sculpey that you get at any crafts store and bake in the oven.

And I got more stuff here:

Is paramount paying you to make these? They probably should be.

Incredible work. If I may pester you with a few more questions: Is this something you do as a hobby, or are you a professional artist? How many hours would you estimate you worked on the "Spock Prime" bust (from soup to nuts)?

Ha, I wish.

Yeah it's just a hobby (I've had a couple companies express interest in my working with them, but nothing ever came of it).

And it's hard to say how much total time I spent on these, since I do it in such a piecemeal basis. But maybe about 3 weeks overall I'd say. One week for the overall sculpt, 2 weeks to fine-tune the likeness and details, and then half a day to paint.

Absolutely incredible.

Beautiful work! Absolutely stunning. Not sure what your profession is...but you should have a career in sculpture! I'd like to see more of your work.

Pretty nice work there.

davejames, I first saw that when you posted a link over here to one of the images (the second of the three above, I think.) That's really nice work.

 

[davejames]

Thanks again everyone.

That's fucking awesome!

 

[Herkimer Jitty]

Great googly moogly!! That's awesome!

 

[Forbin]

Perfect!

You SO need to find someone to cast those in resin and sell them as unpainted kits.

I remember your earlier thread. It's stunning work and you have an awesome talent.
