Hello everyone! Long time lurker, first time poster here.
I'm a cosplayer who has just found my way into sculpting and latex work.
After viewing the latest Dr. Who episodes featuring the Silence, I knew that I had to make them.
I spent a great deal of time looking online and on different threads to get as much info on the subject as I could.
Since I didn't have a good head to sculpt on, I ended up using a styrofoam head. It didn't make it through the process very well. lol
I know that I didn't do many steps by the book, but I'm really happy with the end result.
My final sculpt
My first pull. I used a color additive.
When it came to painting, I got overloaded on techniques so I resorted to what I knew from some of my other latex work. I've made Silent Hill creatures using Mold Maker Latex and paper towels/tissue paper before. My initial pass was acrylic mixed with the latex, followed by detailing with an airbrush and finished with perma-wet.
I didn't have time to sculpt the hands before the convention, so I used a technique I learned from a Backyard Fx video that involves rubber gloves, the Mold Maker Latex and more paper towels.
Here are some pics from a photo shoot we did a few weeks back:
Thanks for taking a look! Really looking forward to being a part of this community and expanding my costuming knowledge.
