The Terminator sculpture bust (JiM SWEET)

Incase you don't read the whole description go here to see more of my other stuff http://www.myspace.com/jimmisweet

This video is not suppose to be an entertaining story or anything. It's was simply made purely just to show the sculpture I made in all different views. I don't know about you but I like to see more then a still photograph of something, so I made this video to offer more to you or who or whom is or are interested in seeing my statue more then just in a still photo. So with that being said, there is more info below. I know it seems obvious but if I didn't say that I bet I would get a comment saying "I don't get it."

Sculpted it out of super sculpey clay--2003--Painted in 2004--age 33

This is Arnold as The Terminator from the 1984 film, right after he operated on himself. It took me a month or two to sculpt. It's about 8" tall and has fiber optics going in through the bottom and up to his eye. It's all painted with acrylic paints and is mounted on part of one of those bubble lights. I made the glasses out of a piece of plastic that I had. I cut out the shape, trimmed it and heated to bend in to form.

I have to say, that I never get tired of looking at this video. Its one of my favourite on you tube. How were you able to sculpt Arnold's head, face and body so well ? It's in fact an exact replica of Arnold. Did you use photographs, or other busts to sculpt him correctly? If i can be critial about one thing, then it would be about the hair, towards the back it looks kind of smooth, a bit more like paint then actual hair. Nonetheless 10/10.

@123ATOM321 Thanks 123. I take that as a huge compliment that you think it’s so accurate. I didn’t have a copy bust of the real Arnold or use someone else’s sculpture to go by. I went by as many photographs as I could find, that I had personally, in magazines, books, cards and I also used the movie itself for more reference. I really took my time on it and I’m never satisfied until I feel I got it as accurate as I can get it or if it’s taking to long I say that’s good enough. continued...

@123ATOM321 I agree the hair isn’t as good as it should be perhaps. I didn’t give the hair enough consideration at the time and it should probably have a little more texture in the back. I basically just formed the shape of the hair and put vertical lines down it. You can’t really see the texture lines in this video though. Hair is hard to sculpt, for me anyways. It’s ok though it’s in the back and not many people would probably look at it from the back so much. continued...

@123ATOM321 I’m having the same trouble with my Kirk sculpture’s hair. I need to make it less like a helmet and more like hair. It’s tuff to make clay look like hair and for it not to look like a solid piece of hard clay. To me hair is also translucent and reflective like little strands of glass and you can’t get that real hair look with paints either. Thanks for the comment and I’m glad you like it.

@JimSweet Don't be hard on yourself, my friend, it looks incredible! As good a likeness as anybody is likely to get. God, i just wanna put the film on now!

Absolutely perfect. I love this. You actually inspired me when I made the Terminator 2 version of him. Have a look at my video response for this video. Thank you.
