This should be fun user added image

Going for Gollum as Bruce Lee, enter the dragon style. Hope to animate him too (as I really didn't do enough last time round).

Not too sure if Bruce is evil enough for Gollum though. Anyone know of any Lee movies where he was really bad? Got to keep it character user added image

Cool idea. user added image

If you're just doing Gollum, then your thread is named incorrectly... Gollum is considered a character. Not a creature. Do you plan on adding a creature also? If not, I can rename it.

I never saw Bruce Lee as an evil character..Although there is one movie where he was soo pissed he went in another martial arts school only to kick everyones ass in it, near the end his face looked really evil..The movie is called Chinese Connection.

Another movie of him evil looking is Enter the Dragon..When he kills the main bad guy's bodyguard in the tournament.

Looking forward to your updates! user added image

I wouldn't be too concerned with Gollum's evilness. He's a bit of a special case, as he's got a split personality between "kinda-good" Smeagol and "bad" Gollum.

Made a start on Gollum's head.

Had a tough time finding an even reference on this, even after loads of searching. All the shots I find are at skewed angles, but heh, no one said this would be easy user added image

Quick thank you and credit to my 9 year old, tykwondo student,
ass kicking son for the idea.
