Batman sculpt in progress

I create silicone rubber molds of the soft castilene pieces of the Batman figure. I will pour a harder castilene into these molds. Once I extract the harder castilene I can then refine the sculpt to the finish.

Now that I have blocked out the pose I wanted and the placement of muscle groups and costume elements I cut the figure up for molding

Batman Statue

 

This is the first stage sculpture of a Batman statue I'm working on. The idea behind this piece is to show my version of The Batman. I envisioned a cross between The Batman of Frank Miller's "The Dark Knight Returns" and the portrayal of Batman by Michael Keaton in the Tim Burton FIlm "Batman".
