Batman Sculpt in progress

I continue to sculpt in the softer castilene and shape up the forms of Batman's muscles and costume elements. I am now carving and smoothing the material with heated metal tools because the castilene behaves like a wax when cooled. I have to be careful though as the pink castilene does not harden to a complete solid and the warmth form my hands along with the heat from my work lamps can soften the material. If not careful the detail sculpted can be smooshed or dented.

Still in the first stage of sculpting I begin to block out and refine some details in the softer pink castilene. I really focus on the design and placement of the bat emblem for the dark knight's chest. I also block in a concept for the utility belt settling on a classic look with the tube compartments along the belts edge with a nice bat emblem buckle to tie it all together.
