I thought I'd start a new Doctor Who project, and had to do a Silence. Loved these guys since they first appeared and managed to get some time this weekend to get the rough shape down, and he's huge! I know I've got to fix the symmetry, and make the eyes smaller, but any comments or advice would be greatly appreciated, or any reference photos shots that would help.
Thanks.
I think your off to a fantastic start.keep us updated on the progress.nice!
Thanks guys, will post some more pics when I've made some progress. It's sculpted using soft klean clay, and a lot of it!
that looks great, cant wait to see the finished piece!
Managed to sort out most of the symmetry I think and have started adding detail to one side. Think the back of the head needs to be more bulbous.
A bit more progress. Think I've got the back of the head's shape right now. Going to move on to some more of the fine detailing next.
looking really nice, if your up for suggestions, the forhead need to be a bit more baulbous and taller and the cheek bones need to be taken it a little bit
Thanks so much fettster, the pics are really helpful, especially the first one. You're dead right about the forehead, funny how you don't really notice the obvious until someone points it out. Thanks again for the feedback.

Wow very cool.. Ever heard of the Hyde Fundraisers? They'd like to speak to you about this creation I'm sure
Rich I know you work on Doctor Who.... did you have a hand in creating the Silence?

thats looking really good, and great pics Rich
Taken the cheeks in and added a lot to the head and I think it's made a huge difference. Thanks. Any other comments from any one would be great.
Yes, love the hyde fundraisers, a very talented group of people.
Started detailing. Any one got any tips on sculpting wrinkles?
Wow! I love it....to bad i won't remember seeing it
Thanks guys.
Spent ages trying to get the wrinkles right. Haven't really done anything as detailed before so it's been a steep learning curve. Just got the back to do then it's ready to mould.
Any one got any tips on not losing details when adding the clay dividers?

Finally got round to making the mold for Mr. light bulb head!
Just got this guy out of the mold. Turned out pretty good. There's a slight step along the seam line but nothing a little filler won't fix.
Going to pick up some foam tom to fill him up and then start cleaning him up.
I just watched this episode with my wife and thought to myself that I'd like to make this but now I have no need to, you've done an amazing job!
Fantastic! I fell in love with their design after that episode- great work it's flawless!
Just finished painting. A few little bits to touch up, and I need to glue the eyes in. Need to pick up some white cotton for the shirt. I already have an old black tie and managed to get some crinkled black cotton from ebay which will be great for the suit / lapels.
