Thanks gents I will post an update soon, but in the end I gotta be willing to hear everyone's opinions whenever I post up my work. The fastest way to improve in anything is to try .... get critiqu then try agan.
We May knock back the shading that is on the lips a bit to see if it changes the feel.
It is totally fine. People will post what they wish, and if I wasn't ready for some critiques then I shouldn't have posted my work up at all. To put it simply I have to be of the mind to listen to all...
Years ago I started sculpting so I could make a custom head for this statue.... my first statue, and I finally managed to get it to where I wanted it. My Buddy did a great job with the paints.
I have never seen so many in the collecting community turn a blind eye to the production and purchasing of recasts as they have with this piece. The excuse is that the smilingEX is the most iconic depiction of Thanos there is, and SSC made it to rare, so recasting it is fine... it is SSC's...
Okay it is hard to see, but I think yours is legit. The easiest way to tell is by looking at the teeth on the EX head. This shot from SSC shows the blue overspray they put on the teeth of the EX.
And this is the recast that is missing the overspray because so many people were complaining...
