rotj emperor palpatine mask. WIP finished mask page 2

mrbungle · 10-18-2011, 10:11 AM

hi there.

i am sculpting a new ROTJ emperor palpatine silicone mask. this mask will cover the entire head.

i started with a hollow fiberglass bust. then i sculpted a rough Ian McDiarmid bust over that to make sure the nose,mouth ,eyes and general shape of the head and face were good before trying to emperor look.

here is where we are. step one complete. rough ian sculpt.

Great likeness for a rough sculpt, exspecially the mouth area...
I would love to see a complete head mask, keep it coming...

Doh2 · 10-19-2011, 02:02 AM

Excellent start. You can see Ian in there so the finish should be quite nice.

mrbungle · 10-19-2011, 10:43 AM

thanks, guys. it is rough sculpt. so stay tuned while i make ol ian palpyfied!!

mrbungle · 10-21-2011, 11:28 AM

here is where we are at, getting the forms built out and details roughed in.

Lando · 10-21-2011, 11:42 AM

mrbungle · 10-21-2011, 06:01 PM

thanks, man. it is coming along slowly but surely...

Amish Trooper · 10-21-2011, 06:14 PM

Looks great so far. Is it me or does the tip of the nose look a little too big or round

Awesome man, looking forward to the progression of this

mrbungle · 10-27-2011, 11:01 PM

thanks

here is the almost done shots. still some clean up to do and he will be ready for molds.

if anyone does not like something, now would be the time to voice such critique.

woodman · 10-28-2011, 01:31 AM

Tom that is awesome

mrbungle · 10-28-2011, 09:11 AM

thanks, man.

That looks fantastic so far, can't wait to see it finished.

chuckyAPP · 10-28-2011, 12:41 PM

clancampbell · 10-28-2011, 01:41 PM

Looks fantastic!

mrbungle · 10-29-2011, 09:08 AM

thanks, guys. you are too kind.

mrbungle · 11-03-2011, 11:09 AM

here is the finished sculpt. i did not do full on old man ears and neck because ian was in his 30's when he played palpatine in ROTJ. if i keep going with the old age sculpting it would look like an old man with a palpatine forehead. hope to start molding this sunday and have a casting next week. i will be using ecoflex.

steveo · 11-03-2011, 11:26 AM

beautiful work! I had some doubts until I saw it with the hood on. Amazing! Great job.

DarkKnightOfPA · 11-03-2011, 11:49 AM

thanks.

i had my doubts when i was sculpting it........LOL!!!

but the hood really brings it together......

Kyle138 · 11-03-2011, 12:35 PM

That's looking great! May I ask what kind of clay you are working with?

td2253 · 11-03-2011, 12:40 PM

Tom that is one awesome sculpt of Palpatine! Are you going to use Dragon Skin from Smooth-On for the silicone cast?

mrbungle · 11-03-2011, 02:49 PM

thanks, guys,

i am going to use ecoflex 0030 to pull the mask and i used chavant NSP medium clay for the sculpt. it is sulfure free so it will not inhibit silicone and it is pretty hard to hold details. you have to microwave the clay to build your forms. warning thought the clay can get really hot.

Zendragon · 11-03-2011, 03:11 PM

Nice work!! Look forward to seeing the mask
