Agreeing 110% with everyone else here. All of your hard work definitely shines through, and doesn't go unnoticed!! I'm a huge fan of leather, as it's my side gig and you have seriously set the standard for texture, my friend. I can't wait to see ho much of your detail transfers to the first pull. I'm already wanting one of these for myself. :cool

Wow, I really appreciate the compliments---thanks! I should be able to order the ultracal in the next couple of days, so it won't be too much longer . . .
Kommisar, I had intended to post a link last time and forgot. Here you go:
TheEffectsLab.com :: View topic - Sculpting detail in oil clay
It's pretty long, with lots of pix, but well worth the time to read it.:thumbsup

Now THAT'S what I'm talking about Tom!
You had your mind set to what you wanted to sculpt and you kept at it until the textures fit what you envisioned.
Good work 'cause that looks great!

Re: Gotham by Gaslight Cowl FINISHED SCULPT
Thanks guys!
Ultracal has been ordered, so I should be able to get this molded in a week or so. Can't wait!
hellome, the basic process starts with the sculpt, like this one. Since I'm doing the cowl in latex, I'll make a two piece ultracal (hard form of plaster of paris) mold from the sculpt. After removing the mold from the sculpt, I'll put the two halves together (securing with bungees or duct tape). Then I'll slush a few coats of latex into it, and let it dry over night. Open the mold, and there's a latex cowl waiting to be trimmed and painted. That's a simplified explanation, but it covers the basics.

Re: Gotham by Gaslight Cowl FIRST PULL
I finally have the first pull! I got it trimmed, cleaned up and Plasti-Dipped---I have to say, I'm pretty damn pleased with it:
The texture came out better than I'd hoped. Besides doing these in solid black, I'm going to try adding a little color to it to match the comic. I'll leave the face area black, but give the main body a coat of translucent blue and give the large stitches a touch of brown. I'll post some more pix when that's done, and also a few of me wearing it with a gray shirt and black overcoat to get an idea of how it should look.
