Dead old man WIP

Isunoj

Hello everyone. I would like to show the progress of a character I'm doing for an indie game. The idea is that it is a thin, dead old man.
I'm having trouble to get good references of old skinny men.
Criticism and comments are welcome.
I hope you enjoy.

Nice sculpt
I dont think this rings as a "dead" or "old" man .
He's got an awful lot of meat on him for a dude thats old and already dead. You should try to make him more emaciated.
His hands also look really big right now, but that may just be me.

Hello PMILLER 001.
The idea is that he died a few hours, not been many days. It just needs to be old, I think we can disregard the dead. Has not worked in the hands, legs or back. Lack detail ears.
I'm looking for references.
Thanks for the feedback.

Nice sculpt. I think you met your "old-person-goal" the most on the face and neck-area. The saggy skin on the cheekbones and on sides to the throat look convincing.
The torso is just too crisp in addition to it's muscularity to belong to an old man.

Hi ChillyWalrus, thanks for feedback.
True, the torso is very muscular. I think the problem is I'm having trouble finding good references. The best I found were some pictures of Chris Bale in the The Machinist movie.



He is very slim but it is still a young man. Most of the references that I think are of faces, when they are old but fat men.
I'll try to leave the skin a little flabby and not mark the muscles.
If anyone knows of any good reference, would greatly appreciate it.

soon will post updates.

And Iggy Pop was kind enough to provide some nice snapshots.

The first link looks ok, but fat.
The second link is not good. Many anatomy errors.
Iggy Pop is a great reference.:)
Thanks.
