Frank Miller's THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS PF IN THE WORKS!

really!! no joke.. expect shots of the body within two weeks.. This is the first time I am actually proud to showcase one of my sculpts.

This is going to be massive. I also plan to make a fabric cape for it. Big heads up to Andy Bergholtz site for getting me started. (thanks andy)

I would also like to credit wofford29, for commisioning the awesome hush batman statue that I cannot afford, and tempted me to make my own.


anyways, I never owned a PF, just wondering how tall should batman be? at 6'2 can anyone calculate the scale for me? hes gonna be hunch alittle..

Here are some pictures of the rough headsculpt.. still needs to be smoothed and cleaned up some more..
here it is smoothed out alittle.











before I smoothed it out with alcohol..



and for scale

and a video

Oooo! Nice!

Refrence pics perhaps?

Thanks celticP, I knew you would be awake. um.. lol I did it off my head kinda.. Frank Miller's drawings are kinda subjective..

man I'm having so much fun.. I don't have enough ss firm to finish the body, I have to go get about 3-4 more packs.. at $13 each..

I also want to sculpt an older bruce alternate headsculpt.. but I would have to work out the mechanics of switching when I cast this bad boy..

I geuss I better draw it out first..

looking good so far, the face needs some refinement.

thanks alot celtic, you just ruined my thread by posting that.. cause that ^^^^ is disgusting!! really thats gross... haha I know I know, I'm a pansy.. I hate gorey stuff.

You know you want to kiss it.

And I was actually going to point out the oddly proportioned head, but thats pretty much how Franks drawings look anyway. So good on you!

its actually pretty proportional.. its because I have crappy picture taking skills and the camera is really close to the sculpt to capture the detail.. so the lense kinda distorts it.

Ah. Well it doesnt matter either way.

this is how it looks from afar.

last update before I hit the hay, sculpted teeth, and an sharper brow..



dam I wish I had a better camera.. it looks so much better in person. It is really hard to capture clay.

Looks damn good so far Ven, keep up the good work!

That looks really good so far. Keep us updated on this project.

by the way, your joker figure strangely resembles harrison ford...

I dont think it looks like Ford.....

it may not be the best headsculpt, but it does look like ford. why is he on the joker's body?

Because.........

That's a great start.
