Good question, probably a Pierce Brosnan I did.
Its probably been replaced now by an updated,better version.
which brings me to another point.I read a lot on these forums and the net about "this bust being better than than bust,or this being a better likeness than that one".
A lot of these things are about timing. If I chose to do a head today of say ..Tobey Maguire ,it has nothing to be compared to so its just a work of art.
But if the next sculptor comes along and decides to do one he now has a level to compare,to surpass.It will inevitably be a tighter rendition because now he knows he will be judged(of course thats assuming they are both on the same skill level).He now has the advantage plus hes seen the other guys piece,which means additional reference.
So when a new version comes along ,assuming its on a commercial basis, it SHOULD be an improvement.if it aint,then why bother?
Also I dont usually keep rehashing the same character over and over to get it 100%,when Ive done it,its done. I usually see things I could improve but thats what makes an artist. i prefer to move on or else I would go insane.
