Kialna's 2014 Halloween Costume Contest Entry - Smaug the Magnificent

Re: The Hobbit - Smaug the magnificent [Human form]

That's pretty awesome stuff there. What did you use to make the cast and mold of your hand if you don't mind me asking.
 
Re: The Hobbit - Smaug the magnificent [Human form]

Plaster bandages and plaster inside the mold. I sculpted on top of that, and molded that with silicone and working with latex now.


I attatched the horns. However, the big horns are a bit...misplaced. I will repair that later. They are now just foam with gesso covering, and will be bondoed when I have finalised their position.

Wow! That looks awesome. It's neat to see you go from a sketch to a great work in progress. I can't wait to see it finished.
 
Re: The Hobbit - Smaug the magnificent [Human form]

Amazing work!

Coming along real nicely. Following with great interest.
 
Re: The Hobbit - Smaug the magnificent [Human form]

You need to order a pizza and answer the door with that mask on
 
Re: The Hobbit - Smaug the magnificent [Human form]

Just wait until it's finished and we start with the crackshots. We have plans of going in casual clothes, but with the mask, gloves and maybe tail on in the supermarket and stuff.. Hahaha
 
Re: The Hobbit - Smaug the magnificent [Human form]

Really looking forward to the rest of your progress + completion!

And ehh....I just subscribed!
 
Re: The Hobbit - Smaug the magnificent [Human form]

It's weekend, so I did some things today again.

Gessoed the toes, prior to painting the nails.

In progress...

Two feet.

Still with unsanded horns.

Then I sanded them down, and cut them off (for transportation purposes.)

I then started detailing. I will keep going on until I am satisfied.

Still waiting for my scalemail. I also ordered an arduino for the tail. :)


Here's a walking test with the 'feet' so far.

EDIT:

I couldn't resist sculpting more, since I found new refs and made it more accurate.:

I can't wait to see this all together. Your work is amazing, I still can't get over the details on the head.
Just wow, fantastic
 
Re: The Hobbit - Smaug the magnificent [Human form]

Re: The Hobbit - Smaug the magnificent [Human form]

Awesome! I really like the nice, natural looking texture on the head! :thumbsup
 
Re: The Hobbit - Smaug the magnificent [Human form]

Very nice. Can't wait to next pictures !! Dragons are cool !!
 
Re: The Hobbit - Smaug the magnificent [Human form]

I finally got my arduino in, but still no scalemail. Which is now definitely late. I fear it might be customs..

Soon, I'll get started on the wings and tail. My salary this month was more than I expected, so that's a good thing. I can pay the bills and might have enough left over to invest. I already ordered more worbla for the lower jaw.
 
Re: The Hobbit - Smaug the magnificent [Human form]

Suddenly, worbla came in. Strange, since it was out of stock....but yeah. Anyway, here are pics.

Re: The Hobbit - Smaug the magnificent [Human form]

OH MY GOD. Ahhhhh! It's looking so badass! Sheesh.

This is a terrible comment, I'm sorry, I just have nothing to add other than gormless excitement.
 
Re: The Hobbit - Smaug the magnificent [Human form]

This is ridiculous. -ly awesome! The detail, the creativity, just wow. Loving it.
 
Re: The Hobbit - Smaug the magnificent [Human form]

Thanks! As we hit March (it just did, 15 mins ago) I am realising that there are just a few months left to finish this beast! But luckily, we're going pretty steady. *inhales* ..... *exhales*...relax.

I'm going to make it.
 
Re: The Hobbit - Smaug the magnificent [Human form]

Glorious!
I need to look into that worbla thing. Seems like magic. :)
