JB,

That looks great.  Nice to know you have something to fall back on if this "drawin' pitchers thing" doesn't pan out.

So far the sculpt looks very interestingly close to Kirby's drawing.
Will you try a full body sculpt later if you feel happy with the result?

No plans for a full-length Hulk -- or anybody else!

Here's the painted version. I feel a wee bit presumptuous, putting it on the same shelf with my Bowen pieces. Kind of like hanging one of my pages in the Louvre!

After posting those two pictures, I decided to move the piece to a lower shelf, to emphasize the glower.

JB:

What medium is that?  Wax? Clay? (I know almost nothing about sculpting, so those mediums might not even be correct!)

It's called Super Sculpy, and it's the same stuff I have used before to make various statues -- like the Fin Fang Foom piece I gave to Jim Warden.

This time round, tho, when ordering the Sculpy, I also ordered some real sculpting tools. They work so much better than the wrong end of a brush and a toothpick!

Neat!

Have you ever considered doing bronze work?  Or doing clay models to later be cast in bronze?

I'll be putting in an order with Jim for a Heather Hudson bust.

Um, but as busts go, Heather's was not JB's most impressive...
