Hi guys,
I have been working on this project a little week, when i Got some spare time, and wanted to share my work in progress.
It is my version of him from the period around the mr.olympia 1975.
There is still a way to go, but hope you like this WIP.
Comments are always welcome 
I have a small update, have smoothed some of the sharpness from the mucles, and tweaked a bit on the model. And played around whit adding a little bloodveins and some shader fun :D, but nothing final.
Just a little side info, the model is being made on the prepose down before the big show in the evening. Think you all know the image but here is a link

The little update
As always, comments is more that welcome
Hi,
Very nice modeling, but the hips are way too short, and his ass… damn, he tightened it hard :] (too hard imo - too small it is)
Also I think that thighs look too straight in front view - like two round columns, which is not natural imo.
regards,
Hate to say it flat out (no pun intended), but Arnold at that age had a remarkable bubble-butt. You need to inflate the glutes, dude.
A little update
Thanks for the comments so far, the “ass” have been tweaked and have done some small changes “Overall finer detail, and some proportions”. The time have been Limited this couple of weeks but have made some small texture work and a bit more final look at the render. Hope your all like it and will continue comming with comments.
A Full view will be postet later.
As always, comments is more that welcome
Looks good Dunkan, is that render in ZBrush then? If so , would it be possible for you to post up what settings you used please?
cant seem to get the spec looking any good on my skin 
stupendous job. Thanks for sharing
Great job so far!
I’m also interested in your render settings, if the render is made in Zbrush 
The veins look a bit lumpy, maybe you should sculpt them at a lower subd level.
nice work every thing looks good in this model.
just mentain the thighs silhouette.from front,n chest looking little big.
anyways great model keep it up
thanks for your nice words and good comments
Im sorry to say it but this is a v-ray render, with some compositing after.
I have a full scale render for your guys, i havent tweaked on the model “to do on the next update”. But made some texture tweaks and a bit on the shader. I have had some small problem with the amount of sss, to get a great balance between the body and th face. But think im getting there.
still alot to do, “hair, eyes, shader finetuning, texture tweaks and the model tweaks.” But hope your all like this update 
as always comments and critiq is more that welcome.
Great anatomy and render, looking forward to see the improvement on the face:_9
Godt arbejde:-)
best
Daniel
Thanks Skaale,
It has been some time, but now I have a complet comped image.
The most of the detaile work is done, i might make some small changes along the way.
This version is a posed version (Highres model). Im working on making a animation friendly version, in a low-res, but with the same result as shown.
Different angles might come, if i get the time.
As always comments and critiq, is more the welcome.
this sculpt is great,u can work on it a lil more and it would be perfect.Eg in the foot .
i would love to learn how to do such a skin texture. it looks pretty neat and real. maybe a bit of work on the hands and feet and the body would be perfect.
for how long are u learning zbrush?
All at a high level!
BUT! The face looks nothing like a real hero.
I love your sculpt & (!) I love Arnold. Superb.
Very good job on the body, but I also have to agree that the face doesn’t look very much like Arnold.
greta sculpt, but as other said i think you tabbed to tom cruise by mistake when doing teh face ;D
but in a serious note, its his lips, nose and eyes, the head shape and cheeks seem ok, but his nose is too wide at bottom too narrow at top, the lips are too sharp, arnold has very characteristic lips, and his eyes seem too far away into his head, eyebrows shape a bit wrong.
Hey, thank you all for the great feedback.
Sorry the late reply but it got a little hectic at work. I have started recreating the face step by step, there will be a comped update as soon it’s done.
The main gole with this “Final” picture, were to get it signed at a Arnold - Total Recall book signing. But too many people, and the gole were not completed.
#absorbentghost - Thanks a lot, Working a bit on the feet, putting a little more tension into it.
#rubening87 - Thanks. I have been using zBrush on/off for some years now, manly off. I think it all started approximately 5 years ago.
#Jek-Spb - Thanks, trying hard to get the real hero into the character 
#JL-Art - Thanks a lot.
#Derek Frenzo - Thank you.
#slocik - A great Thank you. I have your comments on the changes in the back of my mind, when im making the new and improved sculpt. And regarding the Tom Cruise not, when i were making the last minute changes on the hair i saw it. But i have been alot worse.
Just to finish of, here is the latest update on the head sculpt. Still some way to go, but wanted to show the progress.
Main focus have been on the jaw, lips and bottom nose. And a bit overall shape.
Thank you all again for the feedback, and hope it will continue.
