I’m not trying to stir the pot or get shock value out of this one. I’m trying to represent the character that Marvel created to the best of my ability. Sadly he has a lot of swastikas all over him and it’s also sad that a symbol of general well-being can be turned into such a icon of hate. Don’t worry Captain America will soon kick his a*s. Sorry if I offended someone.
I hate to get into this controversy, but I just have to ask what your problem is with the Nazi emblems, hell666, Dali.P. The Red Skull is a villian who was a nazi. That’s his character. When you watch Indiana Jones and you see nazis, and swastikas, does that upset you as well? I think you’re both may be a little overly sensitive. Is it possible?
What if someone who is Christian took offense to the name hell666? Would you change your name? The point I’m trying to make is that it’s just a character. He portrayed him accurrately with nazi symbols. Nazism was an ugly part of history, yes, but it did happen. He isn’t glorifying Nazis. In fact, I think the opposite. Personally, I think it looks great. To each his own.
very cool work! Beautiful. 
Well in Germany, where he lives, the swastika symbol is illegal and you´re not allowed to use it in any form, medium or whatever.
Although i find that a little bit overstated (the sunwheel is a very old symbol and wasn´t an invention of the nazi regime), please take into consideration that in germany people are more sensible to such things.
I´m from Germany and there´s no symbol in the world that I hate more than that.
Very creepy model
I think every culture has a dark period, or moment in history that they would prefer to forget. No doubt, many Germans are incensed at seeing a swastika and don’t want to be reminded of what it once stood for. That is completely understandable.
However, I can also understand another viewpoint. It’s even more painful for those who actually suffered under Hitler’s regime.
For those people, it’s extremely important to never forget what took place. Maybe, only then can they hope to prevent it from ever happening again.
People can get offended by this artwork for all kinds of reasons if they really want to. But, it’s obvious that the artist simply meant to make a good piece of art. I would prefer to judge it simply on those terms myself.
Cool sculpt! I like the pose with the eyes barely lit. He really looks like he’s going to shoot me, but in a calm evil way like there’s nothing I can do about it! :o
looks pretty cool
i love the head’s turnaround
hopefully he’ll be textured 
Bladeflush i like youre work and especially most of the marvel characters.
Great work !!!
Thanks for the comments everyone. Here is where I’m at right now which is pretty much finished. I’ve included some my wire images and an images minus the background as well. I used Zbrush, 3D max, and Photoshop for compositing. On a side note I’ve noticed some people don’t like this image understandably b/c of all the swastikas. I was trying to stick to the character as accurately as I could.

Not sure if the texture on the jacket is too glossy, stretching in some areas, or not fine enough, but overall, this looks fantastic! Love the background, and coloring.
Since when is a villain supposed to be likable?
You nailed him. The only part I think you could improve upon is the bullet hole in the metal helmet. I think the hole would be dented in more and the blood could be better. That’s it. (And his face could be a smidge redder.)
great sculpt… fantastic work…
on the swastika issue, can I just add that before the nazis borrowed the symbol it was originally a symbol of peace… lets not get too excited about an icon, just because its used dosent mean its supported in the nazi sense…
steve
Love it!!
You could use some more folds on the suit and a different tie color maybe.
Overall, great sculpt!
HAHA!.. Smoking gun… Cap’s old shield and helmet on the back wall with a bullet hole in it. Very nice sculpt. Love the narrative.
Hi! Uhps, was offline 3 weeks…
One of the best artworks I´ve seen in the last weeks. Excellent.
I hate to get into this controversy, but I just have to ask what your problem is with the Nazi emblems, hell666, Dali.P.
For most of us germans the Nazi-emblems are implicating very negative feelings. It´s our history. And all these symbols are forbidden here in germany.
I am criminal now. I have nazi-symbols on my mac. :lol:
Nice work, dude.
Totally love it!! Great concept of RedSkull and the render is superb.
And even that I´m German too, I have no prob with the use of Nazi stuff in such a context. It´s comic art and anyway never meant serious. It just looks soooo wicked and that why it works.
Again, thumbs up for the great work.
Looks awesome! But I would loose or tone down the channel offset, it is really hard on the eyes.
