Hi everyone. This is my first post as “nobuart.com”. I’ve been working on it on and off, it’s so difficult to get feeling right.

Doesnt look familiar at first sight but i guess the reason
is that i havent seen him a lot of times.
So other experts wil have to judge that.
Only thing i can is that its looking very nice.
I like the way you handled the eyes 
To me this looks just like him, I really like the feel of this concept!!
a Da Vinci style classical approach to a likeness. Interesting! Good work. 
Great sculpt man - really captured his likeness.
Really nice!
Great looking
Although, it’s not a perfect likeness, I recognized him as Paul Newman immediately. The eyes, hair, and the expression were dead giveaways.
Didn’t you upload the same model and then delete it and replace it with this one? I think that the 1st one looked better, if I’m not mistaken and if it wasn’t the same one 
Not nailed, but resembling the actor.
Disco Stu, Lordrych, sandpiper, RockinAkin, Sebcesoir, Webhead and cherub_rock, thank you for your comments on my thread.
cherub_rock - I thought I did, but I didn’t see it on the forum.
I’m thinking to bring this to Maya to get nice render. Before that, I’d like to work a little bit more.
I’ll keep updating the progress. Thanks all.
Rather than Da Vinci, Michelangelo’s David comes to mind. This makes sense since Newman, especially the young Newman, does resemble Michelangelo’s David.
Very nice sculpt
Thank you EricArtman, you’re right about Michelangelo, I extensively studied Statue of David Head.
I had a time to texture and render in Maya. I hope you like it!

looking good!! yeah, Michelangelo inspired, not Da Vinci. My brain these days…
Great job!
Nice sculpture, very good modeling!!!
I wander what kind texture of stone you used?
Could be better shader, maybe a bit glossy on some surface, like marbel.
Nice one !
Great likeness. I really like the classical feel of him too.

Thank you, sandpiper, roger, Restorer, gpepper and ryankingslien
roger - I checked your website, I can’t wait to see Astro Boy! I love Osamu Tezuka’s comics.
Restorer - I was trying to get marble look, I should have comped spec pass.
ryankingslien - I like your sexy girl post, that looks great!
I may try to render with final gather to see if I can get better result.
So I rendered with Final Gather and I got a better result.
