polycounter lvl 7
So i have a bunch of spare time on my hand (newly unemployed robotoki artist) and i thought i'de start a new project and document the process as i went along here 
the inspiration basically came from an illustration my Penko Gelev
https://www.artstation.com/artwork/detective-fd8dec33-01d0-418e-a8ba-21806d0808be
so i just started sculpting with the idea of an old wise man with a pipe in mind.
this is about 4 hours of sculpting, getting in the general feel of the guy. im really pushing proportions obviously but i think i'll stick a bit closer to realism in the texturing.
still lots of things to figure out, hair/hat. facial hair, clothes(though i'm gonna keep this just a bust), etc... and of course a name ? ..
anyway. will work on this guy for the next few weeks i think and post my progress.
