The Chain of Wisdom.
Not much of a replica but my personal interpretation based on photos and references. I am pretty sure is quite different, but the main look is there. I guess :)

At long last, I am wrapping up this project. I wanted to find an iconic role to use for my Max Von Sydow's likeness exercise and... why not Lor San Tekka from Star Wars The force Awakens? A perfect role for Mr. Von Sydow's hieratic charisma.
My version of the Chain of Wisdom he wears is, well, my own interpretation of the original since I couldn't find a good reference for it.
I hope Star Wars fans won't eat my head because of that :)
Lastly, I really want to thank Kris Costa for the efforts he put on his classes and workshops. Great stuff, I learned a lot from him.
You can check them out at: www.flyonthewall.studio.
Hope you like it and thanks for watching!

PS: The head is fully sculpted and textured using Zbrush (no photographs). Substance Painter has also being used to paint clothes and accessories. Hair/grooming is Xgen. Rendered using Arnold.
