Howdy yall,
One of my favorite actors is John Wayne. So after being inspired by all the fantastic work people do here on Blender
Artists, I have decided to try my hand at a more advanced sclupt than i normally do. Hopefully I will finish one this time. Any comments or suggestions are welcome, good or bad.
I will be using blender 2.69.
To start off with, here is my basic bust.
Hope yall enjoy.
Hi glassdog! Might want to work on the neck a bit too.
Thanks for the input Robert. I plan on adding a bandanna around his neck, hence the bulge in the neck.
Good idea.
A little more work. Not looking like much yet, but I have high hopes.
I dont have a tablet, so Im just using a mouse.
One of the main characteristics of John Wayne was his hat. So here goes with his hat. Im making his hat a separate object. starting with a plane. I think Im going to make his bandanna a separate object too.
But anyway here is an advance in sclupting adding a few more details.
Well, I worked on his hat a bit. I added a solidifier mod to it. still needs a lot of work. and I did a bit more on the face. I think the next thing will be making the bandanna a separate object. That way I can still use the symmetry for the body and not for the bandanna. Anyway, getting closer I think.
Well, I got his bandanna started as a separate object. Now I can work on it with no symmetry and his body with symmetry. A little more work on his hat, and more tweaks on his face.
Your getting closer Glassdog… pretty soon he’ll be saying … “Howdie Pilgrim” 
You should post up the reference photo your working off of.
Some more work on the Duke. Bandanna folds, facial tweaks. Worked on his hat.
