Silver surfer conversion by nimajneb

#1 Post by nimajneb »

Here is a conversion of a bust of Dr. Manhattan from the Watchmen into a Silver Surfer:
- I cut the bust of Dr. Manhattan at his hips
- I expanded his dorsal and oblique muscles + his hips
- I reworked the volume of the head (and deleting his ears)
- I removed all the veins

-I created the legs, surf and planet base
According to the wishes of my client his left foot merges with his board.
