They are all fantastic but I gotta say the Joker’s flamboyant gesture is so cool, and his face. Love the mix of the hard surface and organic
Very nice sculpts. I especially like those WOW coins. It’s refreshing to see ZBrush used for something of the sort.
Hey Joe,
Excellent quality as usual. Congratulations.

Keep up the !AWSOME work!
Sincerely,
J.T.
Thanks! The Captain Marvel is for Randy Bowen’s company and he was the first guy to give me a shot at doing pro work in the statue business. You kind of need work to get work and Randy is VERY gracious about giving untested talent a first chance. The Mephisto I did for him was the gateway sculpt that I still hear nice stuff about to this day. I also got (and still get) a lot of inspiration and encouragement from posting here:

The Shifletts are amazing sculptors and great, great guys. They run a very cool community online and I recommend checking it out if you already haven’t.
Besides Randy, the best thing to do is hit the convention floors with your portfolio, start to build a network, and tactfully email the heck out of art directors…without bugging them too much…AD’s are your life line in this biz so treat 'em right;)
I just wanted to post a link here to a related Q and A I just did for CG Channel:

Check it out and give me a “like”…if you like it that is!!!
Thanks and take care

This is a Green Latern Movie Guardian bust for DC Direct. It’s a combo of existing assets and me but I feel involved enough to be able to post. A lot of times when you get scans, game, or film models you wind up resculpting a lot if not all of it to match the intent of the specific product, be it a toy or statue.
