Tony Hawk Figurine as the Mystery Skater

This piece was a gift for Tony Hawk from Dan Rodo, inspired by an iconic 1965 photograph by Bill Eppridge of a mysterious man skateboarding in a suit through Central Park. Dan recreated that moment with Tony as the mystery skater for his video, and I had the pleasure of sculpting Tony Hawk in that pose. The body and stance were based on a scan, while the face and fine details were sculpted in ZBrush.
