Baneling paper weight - sculpting (part four)

New pics.

I spent most of today's sculpting time on the front area. I decided the level of detail is now high enough and I'll just start polishing. Going to a higher degree of fidelity would require way too much additional time, seeing this is intended as a simpler and easier to copy sculpture.

The next steps are the different polishing stages. The plan is to only polish the bony structures to a high gloss and leave the sac nearly unpolished to give a color contrast.

Very nice work man. If I had the time, these would definitely be some cool projects to try out. I would probably pick a probe to do.

After you've finished with all the details and polishing, do you plan to paint it?

I'm available for modelling but I have a hourly, non refundable rate and I may or may not put cannons in your house. (Sorry if this is a problem, it is a addiction I battle with daily)

The first step is admitting you have a problem.
Now you must believe that a Power greater than yourself can restore you to sanity.

That is awesome! Next up, a banshee mobile!
I know it is completely different, but how are your wood sculpting skills?

I started doing stuff in wood when I was around 15. Did some pieces, mostly abstract. Check here. These days I like stone because it's more amorphous than wood, it doesn't have this strong sense of direction given by the fibers. Relatively soft stones are about as hard or as easy to work with as wood, so for me the choice is now stone.

Wow, that's looking really good. Great job!

But rather than leave the sac unpolished, I would make that thing shiny as hell imo. Dunno why, I just like shiny objects I guess.

Ah wow, those were pretty cool. I'd like to do more with wood sculpting, I've always had the fantasy of having a giant wooden sculpture in my living room one day. In my early years of high school we did a minimal amount of woodwork, we made a naughts and crosses game with little divisions and it was really fun! I loved the sanding process, getting the finished results, but we never got to actually sculpt anything, just loads of machines and glues and measurements and planers.
One day....
