I like it Bobby. It's looking amazing. Great likeness. In some of the pictures, it sometimes looks like Reeve's jaw goes further back which adds more meat to his face (makes his face wider). It makes his overall jaw look more squarish. Can you post a profile shot of your sculpt (side view)? It would be easier to test this theory by looking at the profile.

Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

That looks great, and I'm not one to throw such compliments out lightly, look forward to seeing how this piece progresses.

Near as i can tell, Christopher Reeve is a really hard likeness to pull off successfully (because he had such strong,prominent features,that he could easily end up in the realm of caricature if the sculptor isn't careful). Have to say that your version of the actor is probably the most naturalistic i've seen (especially the corners of the mouth - quite subtle!) Great job so far!

Hi Guys, thanks for stopping in , I love the opinions good or bad.
here is a bit of small tweaks, , Vader I will snap some side shots as soon as the battery charges.
still not happy I have some minor things on the lip region that bothers me. I do not want a puckered look at all, that is one of the biggest mistakes people make.
couple more days (I hope)

The black and white picture in this reference material is probably pretty close to the expression you've got on reeve. This may help you with the fine-tuning of the lips. It also shows you the depth of the jawline. So does the picture of him as clark at the top. It's looking great bobby. You're going to get this one perfect. After that, you will have conquered one of the hardest likenesses there is.

Bob, I showed the final picture to a couple of friends around, and they think we should lower the ears a bit - but not too much. What do you think?
