Stubbs the Zombie

This character is based on a video game by Aspyr Video Games. First I start with a bit of Sculpy polymer clay. Great stuff to create with. In this case I used black so I would notr have to do a shading undercoat for final product.

Step 1:

I begin to shape the face; making eye holes where the eyes will go.

Step 2:

Shaping of the mouth and nose. Very basic stuff here...

Step 3:

Added the Hat; still shaping...

Step 4:

More shaping. The hat needed to be enlarged a bit.

Step 5:

Side shot.

Step 6:

Time to insert eyeballs...

Step 7:

Sideshot...

Step 8:

Added neck, shoulders and ears. More facial definition.

Step 9:

Added cigarette and pupils to mix... and still more definition. Held over lamp to illuminate.

Step 12:

Side view...

Step 13:

Adding Hair, shaping hat and face... still defining features...

Step 14:

Side...

Step 15:

Adding shirt collar, coat and details... more details...

Step 16:

Finished collar... added frayed coat sleeves... 

Step 17:

Cigarette was baked to prevent it from bending. The end coincidentally charred a bit.

Step 18:

Sideview...

Step 19:

First paint. A bit hokey; need to add shadows.

Step 20:

Getting there now... just a few more details...

Step 21:
