So, you think these great sculpts come out right on the first try? Think again. Creating a comic book action figure or statue is a multi-phase process.

It’s not because anyone is “right” or “wrong” but more because there are so many people involved. DST Schaff and DSTChuck agree that Wolverine is next and they each have their own ideas based on their favorite Wolverine artist. As a sculptor, I have to bring this 2D artwork to 3D life and I bring my own style and skill to the project. Once I’m done, we all discuss it and in-house revisions are made. Then it goes to Marvel and they say what they want. Even though it is all Wolverine, the starting and ending sculpts can vary greatly. Since we’ve been talking so much about Wolverine, here’s a little before/after photo to show the stages he went through. Enjoy.
