Fantastic work!
These are incredible, and so like the Old Masters! i almost feel like I’m back in the Vatican!
Dem folds! Awesome stuff here. I think it’s a great idea to study from classic sculptures, I keep thinking I’ll try something similar some day soon.
Thanks for the kind replies, people!
Yes, I think studying the old masters is a great way to improve! 
Started another study from Bernini… One of the figures from the Tomb of Pope Urban VIII

Some progress on the other kid. 
this is just wonderful! thank you for sharing progress images, love to see them
It’s amazing. You’re doing great job.
So, any conclusions about Bernini? What did you learn from him?
Thanks for the kind words, people!
Did some polypainting on my old Chet Baker sculpt. Rendered in Maya with Mentalray.
Wow! That’s some great work.
all your work is awesome…I especially like Chet Baker!
Thank you, people! Adding some old images of the Chet sculpture, as suggested.
Did some work on Chet’s hair. Sculpted with fibermesh, exported curves and generated hair with xgen in Maya. Rendered with vray hair shader.
Wow! this is so amazing! Very realistic and emotional portrait! I love the hair!
All coming together, finally! (ZBrush + (xgen & Vray in Maya)). Need to work some more on the eyebrows and the stubble.
Wow! the hair are far better now!
