Hey all 🙂

I just noticed the Goblin sculpt livestream and I wanted to post here about it.

I asked Tim last year for permission to sculpt this , and I made a start to it straight away, but life got in the way and it got put on the back burner. My thinking was to try to get it done for this Halloween and now im super excited to see that you will also be sculpting it @theluthier

I am going to try to honour my commitment to finish it for Halloween so it will be great fun to see if I can do @timvonrueden proud and also see if I can get my piece anywhere near to the quality that I know Kent will produce.

Ill post my progress here and I cannot wait for the livestreams 🙂

Here is the awesome reference I am sculpting from that was drawn by Tim :

Here was my early block-in from last year , ill hopefully get back to it this weekend :

Running Waaaaay behind on this because other big personal projects keep getting in the way, but I had a free hour tonight to do an initial rough sculpt pass to get some shape into his head :

Here is todays progress. Still a loooong way to go , but it’s taking shape. Materials are temporary because I like to “visualise” 🙂

Thanks 🙂 , I will be working away on it over the coming weeks and will post updates as regularly as I can. The concept drawing is by Tim Von Rueden , he gave me permission to have a go at sculpting it so I’m trying my best to make it nice 🙂

Stay tuned!

Oh man, I’m already jealous that you’ve applied material WIPS. Haha this is going to be awesome, I can tell.

My one crit at this point is that the wrinkles around the brow and cheek feel too subtle. Like you haven’t committed to them yet. I recommend digging them in fully to get a true wrinkle impression. It’ll really make the SSS feel good if you push the wrinkles more. Maybe you’re planning on that though!
