Looks like you're really close with the likeness (about 99.9% there, actually!)- just wondered if viewing the sculpture with a more diffused lighting source (like most of the reference photos i've seen posted) would help clarify the questions with the lips? I know on some people, the red lip portion doesn't necessarily follow the roll of the lip - don't know if that's the case here - just an observation. The sculpture looks great though!

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.

Thanks very much for keeping with me on this piece guys, well, Sean I actaully painted the clay, this is just a technique that helps me see the person better, for instance if it looks good with a 2 minute paint job then imagen the piece when in silicon human hair nice eyes etc.

if you see it in person (again) even though in clay it really is coming out great, You will hardly ever hear me say this about my work, it is just choppy.
the slighest removale or addition of clay can throw everything off.

when you look at C Reeves he really looks different in every picture. so I try to find pics that show his bone structure only. very difficult! hardest piece ever!

that sucks, it throws you off! it is like when someone who is talking to you has one cross eye and you dont know what eye to look at
we will get them right just stick to it , the thing is we are trying to find more then just the likeness in these pieces.
call you later on.
