I saw the Sculpt contest a couple of weeks ago while posting my Alien egg pics,started on the sculpt and then my internet fell into a hole,best way to describe it,but Its back now and I have made great progress in my sculpt of Crewman#6<br>
I've always been able to draw,paint/airbrush,craft things...1/6 pvc/resin model builder quite well but when I discovered I was more a sculptor than all those things combined I was shocked...shocked I tell you. My Only focus has always been 1/1 scale sculpts...so far I've done busts of Ironman,Acid Batman,ABC Robot-"Battle Damage",Terminator Endoskeleton,King of Nothing/Hellboy,Marcus/Quetzalcoatl and the "Real" face of Darth Vader and his Bling. I've posted some of these busts on RPF and will post the rest soon.<br>
It was suggested to me long ago I use Roma Plastilina med. and it has served me well on all of my sculpts.<br>
I recently for the first time sculpted and posted on RPF my version of an ALIEN Egg about 6.5" tall and it was really a blast to do and well recieved and might I say,it looked Real....and I seeem to have been bitten by the Alien bug also 1/6 dosen't take near the clay a 1/1 does....I now have a whole new universe to create in...I Literally NEVER Thought of sculpting in Anything other than 1/1 till I did my egg my little alien egg.<br>
Crewman#6 is a total conceptual departure for me in sculpting and a mixture of movie metaphores...those of us <em>illumind </em>in sci-fi will get the joke...I think the title is <em>Funny as hell</em>...(I actually put a little 6 on his right arm). Started with a cardboard egg about 2" in length for the head and went from there...crafting the body out of cardboard box leftovers,for the arms used the cardboard tube from a pants hanger then used the metal wire for reenforcement and the eyes are 4mm BBs....The funny thing is this sculpt started off as a desire to do just the helmet (pic 1) from Alien thats it...accept I've sculpted everything but.It has morphed from just a shoulders-up idea to what I think is a pretty cool scene.I guess the helmet will have to come later...All I have left to do is the righthand glove and wrist gadget.Should be done real soon. <br>AAAnnnnnda YES the hugger is anatomically correct the way H.R. designed it.That part was was a little strange to sculpt knowing what it based on.<br>
I have taken a little "<em>Ridley License</em>" with my sculpt in the fact that my character is not 'Dallas' and he is not 'Cain' but another poor ******* that is about to have a reeeally bad day...so it does take place in the "ALIEN" multiiverse.<br>
I am,to borrow a phrase TOTALLY STOKED at how this turned out. <br>
Will post pics every couple of days.<br>
Thank You for time and attention.<br>
Hope you enjoy my vision of Crewman#6<br>
......NUFF SAID......
<br>
I did not like the way my hugger turned out so I did another but I left the old in one to show the diff.
Enjoy...
Next set tomorrow...
