My Davy Jones mask sculpt

Joe Mccluskey

Hiya, Just joined Stan Winston School, so thought I'd show my first serious sculpt. It was for a mask I was planning to make, which then turned into a full costume ...lol I had tried a couple of things previously with Plasticine but they weren't too good. I took a couple of pictures during the Davy Jones sculpt, but made some mistakes... Probably a bit ambitious for a first one, but there was a bet of honour challenge involved with a friend. The finished costume is shown in the finished costume forum. I haven't ever drawn or sculpted in my life and started around the beginning of this year, so a bit of a late starter at 52 ! I do wish I would have started earlier in life! Comments and critiques welcome, but gentle - new guy!

Love it!

Joe, I'm 35, and I also feel like I'm "late to the party".  I spent my 20's going to college, working and fooling around. I wish I could have sculpted sooner.   What is great though is that I have finally found my passion (which I had as a kid. It was suppressed by our crappy school system).

Remember the story of Simon Lee, aka Spiderzero. He worked as a programmer and as a web site designer (not sure of his exact title). He jumped into Hollywood PROFESSIONALLY at the age of 40!  Its never too late to do what you love!
