I made my "Gollum" sculpture using the ecourche technique by building the skeleton first, then layering the muscles and skin over top. In my class we were watching the Load of the Rings special features and I decided to make my study into my version of Gollum. I liked the versions of Gollum in the Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings cartoons so my sculpt reflects more of that kind of gnarly/elfin look. I hoping to getting around to casting this guy in bronze this year.
