Curly Howard Three Stooges sculpt

[sandpapermisc]

Planning on casting in silicone and punching the hair. Dont know how to do either of those things so it should be a "fun" learning experience.

This sculpt went through a few variations, one of which came out looking like sloth from the Goonies. Finally have it at a point where Im happy with all overall look with the exception of the forehead which needs to be pushed out more and some of the features need a little more exaggeration. No texturing has been done yet, as im still having trouble figuring out how to do that on water based clay. Havent gotten to the neck/chest but I will soon, also havent really detailed the eyelid area yet.

The sculpt is base on this picture

Such a tough project with the stubble type hair to pull off. Good luck, I'm pulling for ya!

I've made quite a few substantial changes to the sculpt, will get pictures of those tomorrow. My reason for bumping was to ask a question about the molding/casting process.

Im going to mold it in hyrdocal and cast it in either dragon skin/ecoflex 30/gel 10

Do I need a release agent and a sealer to spray on the hydrocal mold? I have Kryolan UV Resistant clear spray, should that work fine?


Thanks in advance for any answers
