John Carter on Mars - Thark bust 2

I sculpted this bust in 2008 under the supervision of Iain McCaig as a kind of first look at what some of the main characters of JCOM might look like. I only had a few days to do this, and I didn't really have the time to finesse the anatomy or surface detail, but it turned out to be a pretty good interpretation of Iain's design, and I feel it was a strong solution to the problem of translating the rather silly and outmoded description of the Tharks in Burrough's pulps into a design palatable for modern audiences.
