First Head Sculpt

[Crass78]

This is the first thing that I've ever sculpted, but I think it's turning out kind of good. I originally started to do a wolf sculpt, but I ended up changing it. I wanted to get your guy's opinion on it so far. Once I find my camera I'll post more pictures.

What do you mean?

Well I first started to sculpt with monster's clay, but then i ran out so i started using Van Aken. The Van Aken is a little too soft I think, but it was the only clay around, but I've been doing it whenever i have free time for about a month altogether probably. Or maybe less, I don't know.

Are you planning on making a mask out of it when finished?

Yeah. I just got 50lbs of ultra-cal. I've been researching moldmaking so i hope I don't screw it up when i do the mold- since that will also be my fist time making a mold. But I'm worried it might be small cause i didn't even take into account the latex shrinkage

 

[randy7027]

Like how did you do it?

 

[Crass78]

I bought an armature over the internet then I added clay to get the general shape of the head then i kept building up the clay. Once it was built up I started adding the spikes, teeth, etc.. then I started adding detail. And i tried smoothing it out along the way.

 

[randy7027]

oooh ok, thanks for telling me. where can you get armatures like that cheap? or if I wanted to make my own statue or dio?

 

[Crass78]

I payed 50 for my armature from monstermakers.com It's not really cheap though because it cost me a lot for shipping. Probably cause i also ordered a bunch of stuff, but check out monstermakers if you haven't. They have a bunch of stuff for mask making and mold making.

 

[randy7027]

Alright thanks! So once your done with the sculpting then what will u do? You buy more arms?

 

[Crass78]

The clay comes off the armature. Once it's molded the sculpture is ruined.

Not bad mate! i think it's looking pretty fine so far

 

[Crass78]

I'm having the hardest time getting down the skin texture. Does anyone have any tips?

 

[randy7027]

oooh, well then i'll definitely have to learn how to mold then.

 

[Crass78]

oooh, well then i'll definitely have to learn how to mold then.

I have to too.

 

[randy7027]

so after u sculpt over the whole thing you'll mold and cast it? then it be like a statue?

 

[Crass78]

Well, I'm casting it with latex so it'll be a mask I can wear.
