A detail of all the pieces to the Batman body for the statue I am sculpting. This stage was completed in green Castilene. I detailed and textured the material with heated wax working tools. These pieces are now ready to be molded and cast in a resin for the final stage of the statue. The cape is not included here of course, but it will be completed soon.

Batman sculpt in progress
Front view of the Batman head I am sculpting. I'm using Green Castilene for this stage of the sculpt. I'm trying to get that cross between Frank Miller's "The Dark Knight Returns" and Michael Keaton from Tim Burton film "Batman". I'm also trying to achieve a realistic take on the cowl overall, giving it a leather texture, seams and proportional eye slots that seem functional to me.

Detail of the torso of the Dark Knight statue. Sculpted in hard green Castilene. I used hot wax tools such as an electric waxer and metal sculpting tools heated by an alcohol torch for all the details. Heated sanding pads were also used to create some of the texture in the costume fabric. I decided to go with a traditional type of utility belt and the large bat chest emblem without the circle behind it. I always loved the plain large bat on his chest since I saw it depicted that way in Frank Miller's "The Dark Knight Returns."

The underside of the boot design I created for The Dark Knight statue. I took this design from the boot sole pattern Jim Lee used on a cover of Frank Miller's All Star Batman comic.
