DC Sculptors: Tim Miller

Sculptor Tim Miller has worked with several companies on a variety of intellectual properties, but since most of my statues are from DC Collectibles, my familiarity with his career is largely limited to the Bombshells line.  I admit that I have a love/hate relationship with the Bombshells statues.  I tend to like the concept more than the execution.  This goes for both Ant Lucia's drawings and their physical manifestations.

My main concern is that Tim Miller's Bombshells face sculpts are so similar to each other.  The Bombshells line started with the October 2013 release of Wonder Woman Version 1.  In January of that year, DC Collectibles released the Before Watchmen Silk Spectre statue sculpted by Miller.  Here're close-up shots of Miller's Silk Spectre and Bombshells face sculpts, in order of release:

I omitted the statues with goggles (purple Batgirl, Stargirl) or hair (Harley Quinn Version 1) covering their eyes because I want you to be able to see my primary concern about this sameness -- the eyes are too big in relation to the other facial features and even the overall heads.  To me, the large eyes are suited to only one statue, the Harley Quinn Version 2 that showcases how zany/crazy the character is.  Indeed, I think the Harley Quinn Version 2 is the best statue of the line so far.

Sculptor Erick Sosa's face sculpts have the opposite issue -- he sculpts eyes that are too small.

On at least two of the Bombshells statues, Karen Palinko sculpted the heads even though Tim Miller sculpted the bodies.  Unfortunately, Halloween Batgirl's entire head looks a tad big for the body.  Jesse Quick turned out rather well, though.

DC Collectibles released four Bombshells statues in a row that weren't sculpted by Tim Miller during a stretch of time between 2017 and 2018.  I assume he took some time in 2016-2017 to learn how to use digital sculpting software.  His first full-statue digital sculpt, Big Barda, has eyes that are proportional to the rest of her head.  Although I'm not familiar with digital sculpting programs, I'm guessing that they have proportionality metrics.
