HT head custom (update 4/3/08)

[Siccx]

Stunning work, all the detail work that went into it, this will be amazing once it's complete, have you thought about how you'll do the body for a female pred? Perhaps a BBI Perfect body, you'd just have to adjust the height a bit if you want to make her around the size of an HT pred...

Fantastic!!!! Hell, and I thought you could only draw!
I love your artwork and now, your sculpting!!!!!
You have to find a way to make some resin casts.......I love it!
And...have you ever thought of sculpting any of your designs? You certainly have the skillz.
Maybe start off with a bust......I'm sure Faken would help you to get it cast up!

Sorry bro, but I don't think that a BBI Perfect Body won't be tall enough to make a accurate Female Predator custom Hot Toys style!
After what is said on the Predator: The Hunted website, it's the opposite...

Female Society
What the comics and books tell us:
It is a common belief that Female Yautja are similar in appearence to males, but are overall larger and in many cases, stronger (...)

That means you'll can use a resculpted HT 14" tall Predator male body to make your Female Pred one!

That's my thoughts! Someone shares?

My thoughts on the BBI Body were if one were to be used it'd first have to be chopped up, and extensions made using sculpting compound, as well as having to do a bit of sculpt work around some of the limbs to give it a thicker look. Overall if you'd want really good posability I think waiting for Triad's Evo bodies would be your best bet though their new Otaku bodies lack ab articulation the overall looks of the torso is nice but again limbs would need thickening and extensions...

Nice work. As difficult as sculpting can be, doing it at the scale you're working in is a real challenge.

How the hell did I miss this ?!!!
Tom you're one talented guy!

female preds are more masculin (sont know if thats even spelled right)

in the novel they explain that there taller and stronger then the males so an accurate female would need a bigger body than the hot toys preds

Isn't that exactly what I told, in my last post?

For me, you could only use the Hot Toys predator male bodies to make an accurate Female Pred custom in the same scale of them. With some adjustments, of course!

 

[rocktuskpred]

yeah but they would need to be extended in the limbs and bulked out if you were to use a hottoys pred body

Yes, definitely! Hence the adjustments I mentioned!

That said, I'm looking forward to seeing this Female Pred custom when it will be finished!
