Hi everyone, this is my first post.... Im doing a custom terminator myself (duh, or else I shouldnt post here). I didnt want to use a sideshow headsculpt, or repaint a hot toys alan dutch head, so I decided to go DIY (mostly because they're too expensive for me). This sculpt is my second attempt at sculpting a human head in 1/6 scale, and my first at trying to make it look like someone who actually exists. (my first custom head was a zombie not based on anyone in particular). So I use this blue oil-based clay that never dries out to sculpt, then when I'm done I just put it in a mold box and pour silicone around it to make a mold. Then I just cut the mold where the back of the head is and pull the entire clay sculpt out (the clay from which is still reusable and soft). Here are some pics of the head at this point (been working on it off and on for a month and a half), so tell me what you guys think!
Here are some pics of the sculpt with my custom (made from scratch) glasses that I made specially to fit this head so far. They're based directly on ones I think he wore in T3...
I have a leather jacket, leather pants, an AR-18 (the gun he used in T1 that looks kinda like an M-16 without a stock), and a good body (bbi G3.5)... Now all I need is to finish the head, get the right shotgun, and find/make a grey shirt...

My honest opinion is that it bears very little resemblance to Arnold. The cheeks are too puffed. the eyes aren't level, the area between the cheeks and cheek bones is too sunken, the nose is too bulbous, the hair is too high, the neck is too thin, the mouth is to "Mick Jaggerish", the brow furrow is too deep and the eyes are too puffy.
I don't mean to offend you with these observations but these are my honest observations.
Keep trying and I'm certain you will only get better.
Cheers
Well, seems that no one answered me yet... I fixed the lips at least a little bit... Take a look
the left one has the head that i'm waiting for. i again think that this head looks more like Kurgan from Highlander than terminator.
I understand where you're coming from, but 99% of people on here are extremely nice and tbf, the types of comments people have given are to be expected with the sculpt you have posted. No offence intended. As you said it's your 2nd sculpt, so nice one, and keep up the goodwork. You've gotta start somewhere, right?
Just have a laugh about it and keep improving your sculpt!

This is a forum after all, those types of responses arent uncommon.
as for me, i never even tried to make a sculpt, so my comment costs less than a zero, don't pay attention to it.
take any cheap 1/6 head, cut the ears off and glue it to your sculpt?
May be a good idea if I can't get the ears right... Although I can't glue the ears onto the clay so I'd have to cut the ears of my sculpt, mold it, cast it in resin, glue other ears onto the cast, and mold and cast that... Might just work tho...
