[FANTAMATION]

Hey Thanks everybody who has been following my progression on ol' one eye here, I'll be finishing the final paint work on him tonight! It's all your guy's enthusiasm and encouragement that keeps me doing these projects..... Thanks again!

 

[Scott Graham]

That's looking awesome! How is the fur done? Is it like flocking?

 

[FANTAMATION]

It's good ol' organic wool crepe hair, and I apply it the same way Ray did by just cutting tiny little clumps and sticking it on directly with caulk. Same technique, different mediums.... Ray, of course, using latex based materials.

Fantamation that is simply outstanding. As this is and has always been a real movie monster favourite to this this project come to life like this is a real treat.You must feel like a kid posing him? I sure would. great work.

 

[FANTAMATION]

Ok, the paint work is about 90% done and these will be the last of the pics I take with this crappy little camera, so next will be to finish off the last little finessing touches and then do the real photo shoot with real lighting and a decent camera!!!

I like the five o'clock shadow.

Cyclops needs to shave more often. Must not get out much.

Just tryin to match how it looked in the movie, those gray areas on the jowls and around the mouth were on the original puppet..... and I think they could've come from the oils off of Ray's fingers

WoW... This is awesome

 

[Guy Cowen]

Incredible work as usual mate, cant wait to see the final shots.

 

[Scott Graham]

That's looking awesome. Great paint job too. I'd forgotten about crepe hair. I remember those old Dick Smith makeup kits from the '70s that you'd get from Toys R Us (or other toy stores) having that in them!

 

[FANTAMATION]

Hey thanks guys!! I should be doing the real photo shoot this weekend

[FANTAMATION]

Finally, here are a few hero pics of the finished puppet, I'll post some more later as my guy feeds them to me.

And to think the Ymir armature was the basis of this model!

 

[FANTAMATION]

Yeah, the Ymir armature was used for the smaller foot tall Cyclops that fought the dragon at the end of the movie, the armature for the original 16" puppet was built specifically for that puppet.
