Indiana jones: Chilled monkey brains.

[Cornelius Sagan]

I'm preparing a piece that I've wanted to do for a long time: Chilled monkey brains.
I show you some of the steps that I have followed...
(Now I am preparing the cup).

…I have done a positive with Monsterclay. There are not many references to that head, anatomically it looks like a mix between a macaque and a langur.

I don't show you the whole process, because I'm a disaster and my methodology is unfortunate...

 

[Cornelius Sagan]

I have used the image of a macaque brain to design the part.

I have made a silicone mold with a fiberglass coffin (a mold disaster!!!). And I have made several positives of polyurethane resin.

I have done some color tests. I have also bought artificial hair.
This is the result of the first prototype...
Hope you like. If you have any questions, you can ask me.
I am currently preparing the cup (from an ostrich egg).

I should have it and save it as gollum... Without sharing it with anyone...

Will you make more for sale?

 

[Cornelius Sagan]

Will you make more for sale?

oh! Okay. Yes, I make props and I have an etsy store. Before it was a hobby, but I had an accident (I broke my spine) and now I sell them.... but these are prototypes

 

[Snowtrooper]

I'd definitely be interested in one, if you decide to make some.

 

[Cornelius Sagan]

I continue with the hair tests...
I have to learn hairdressing
I'm not sure what kind of hair looks best...
I accept suggestions

The hair color of the one on the left looks pretty good. I think the actual prop had the hair on the lid in a combed back sort look. I'm no expert. Just my opinion.

 

[MrTeabag]

The sculpt on these look great! Awesome work!
Here are some reference images from screen used ones that popped up on PropStore a while back maybe they'll be of some use to you:
