excellent work it is a terrific likeness
Thanks enormously! I think I've done a goodish job on this one, McGoohan has been a subject I've come back to again and again and never fully got him. This time round I think I did something right.
ANYWAY, something new.
Recently I discovered the show Sapphire and Steel from the late 70's which features Joanna Lumley and David McCallum in the respective roles and completely fell in love with it.
I'd always been aware of the show as a Doctor Who fan but never did our paths cross.
I'm extremely happy that they did now.
Anyway I've become fascinated with David McCallum's little furtive face. For some reason it in junction with his mop of 70's hair reminds me of a little bird, his beaky nose and mouth giving him something of a Robin's aura. NO idea why. I don't normally respond this way to faces.
But there you go.
I wanted to try sculpting him as I thought his appearance was rather peculiar and I could, somehow, see elements of a very young Sylvester McCoy or even David Tennant in his face and finally I got round to starting it last night.
It took maybe an hour or two but I really like where its going.
I'm toying with the idea of applying "real" hair to the sculpt to give it an extra pop of life, we but shall see.
(For our American friends, McCallum is perhaps mainly known for playing Ducky in NCIS or Illya Kuryakin from The Man from U.N.C.L.E)



I'm pretty happy with how he's coming together and it was pretty fun to work on.
Anywho, I hope you like him!
