Day of The Dead Dr Tongue Maquette

[Predatoj]

So I'm back after a few years away with a new project. My first attempt at a Maquette. He's big at 19". My love of the movie, an iconic zombie and so few other examples out there I just have to make him. There was a maquette around 10 years ago, don't know who the artist was. I'm going for a more honest to the film pose as he ambles into frame in the movie, so didn't go for over dramtic pose.

Getting frustrated sculpting cloth, harder than I thought. The head is just a place holder, going to be sculpting it seperate in firm clay

Nearly finished, next stage is cutting him up finishing him in parts then molding. I'll get hold of a decent DSLR for publicity shots when he's finished.

Excellent work, you really captured his look and stature. Are you ever going to offer a kit?

Yes I am offering kits. This is an expensive hobby so I need to make my costs back, then I'll sell the occasional one on request. I have a few things to sort out like packaging.Thanks for the feedback.
