Sean Dabbs - David Bowie 1-6 scale head sculpt

[Jroug]

BTW, I'm in for a bald version, provided it's not late 80's/early 90's DB as in initial pics.

What? I'm not posting other's work - and I'm also not offering this for sale, just sharing after someone mentioned this specific era sculpt.

UPDATE: Oh I get it, people don't read. post deleted.

Nice one pal, know you didn't mean any disrespect and I personally love seeing different artists work, its only because this thread is trying to gauge interest and provide work for an artist and therefore anything that deters from that or creates competition is frowned upon. But nice one for understanding and supporting, hopefully this will be a go soon

This raises an important issue of what age the likeness will be. Can the Goblin King fans live with a mid-70's Bowie? I mean that character has so much make-up, does it really matter? Ziggy Stardust is so done-up too that if the sculpt is just a tiny bit older, I'm not sure anyone would notice.

Not to put off the Goblin King fans, but NECA already did a 1:6 Gareth and the sculpt is superb (although the paint apps could be better, but that's why we customize, right?).

On the other hand, DB's face changed very little from 70's to 80's - the differences are really about his hair, level of cocaine intake and (in some cases) make-up. He uncannily didn't lose his cheekbones until into his 60's. I would guess we can find a happy middle ground for all, assuming no one is hoping for a button-eyes Bowie.

Also, just noted although we may not be at 15 names yet, there are orders for 17 heads, so assuming we agree on a look, are we go?

Bumping. Because...Bowie.

If it's possible could I please sign up to this? (Especially interested in Thin White Duke era Bowie myself, but I'd be pretty happy to own any version going. )

Thanks! Looking forward to seeing the prototype - amusingly the last group order for a custom sculpt I got in on was also a Bowie head :monkey3 (just in massive 1/3 scale...)

 

[Too Much Garlic]

Definitely interested.

Wow - can you PM me a pic or link?

Also, are we there yet?

Hello Guys,

Quick question. Which type of sculpted hair would you like to see on this head sculpt besides the bald version?


Please post some pics and comment

 

[Jroug]

Ziggy and / or Man Who Fell To Earth era hair.

I was thinking Ziggy and teh Man Who Fell to Earth/Low cover would be great choices:

 

[sdabbs]

hey guys, I see you were already discussing hair options, which one is the deciding factor? Man who fell or low cover ?

 

[teleray]

I'd be cool with either but it's basically the same haircut, just in differing states of dress.

The Low cover is a still from The Man Who Fell to Earth.
