antastic Four has been a favorite of mine since I was a kid, and I have long wanted to sculpt Ben Grimm. Finally I settled on an awesome cover by Steve McNiven. I'm currently working on Ben, but Sue will follow. Don't know when this piece will be done, because I am getting some commissions and I must finish those first. Still, I will work on this as much as I can.

The rough-in

Added hands (removable)

Completely reworked the head and made it removable

Trying to get the head just right

Finally got the head where I wanted it and started working on some detaling. This detail is time-consuming; I am glad he's wearing trousers!

Been slow going, partly due to the detail on this guy and other projects for customers taking priority (Ben and Sue is a personal project at present). Anyway, I've managed to detail the head completely (it's baked) and the shoulders and chest.

More progress (I tinted it orange in Photoshop). The Belt buckle is mocked up with a quarter.

Stay tuned for more photos!
