Lifesize zombie bust

[Jiver]

While working on my 1/1 Predator moulds, killing the dead moments so to speak, I started this 1/1 scale sculpt. Again I use polymer clay like Fimo and Super Sculpey. As a starting point I used a foam head, wich I carved out here and there and covered with epoxy to become a smooth surface. This helps the clay to stick better. The eyes are Aves Apoxy sculpt, the teeth baked polymer. I added some more teeth in a later stadium. If I manage to finish the sculpture bij saturday, I will have spend a week on it.

Nice work. Will you bake that once it's finished? If so how do the teeth stand up to a second bake?

 

[MAKE BELIEVE]

Very nice work. Congrats!

I don't think I will bake it. My experience with the Predator head showed me it can be perfectly moulded while still soft. To answer your question about the teeth: There would be no problem to bake them a second time. Most of my smaller work is done with polymer and since I work in layers, they are often baked as much as 10 times.

Im in absolute awe... I think, strangely enough, this is one of the most 'beautiful' pieces ive seen in a while

Hey Jiver, thanks for your reply man. That's interesting and very handy. Cheers for the tip, I've been wondering that for ages...:thumbsup

like this. I loves me some zombies

That is one of the best zombie busts I have seen. I like how you kept one side relatively unaffected by rot and trauma, it makes it look creepier.

Hey Graham,

No worries, mate, that Predator bust kit will be ready in time.

 

[Jiver]

The Predator moulds consume most of my time now, so this one will gow slower now. I finished the frontside of the torso.

 

[Jiver]

Making lifesize moulds takes a lot of time, but here's the first resin casting.

 

[pitchforknumb]

Very nice. Looks like a nice clean pull. Is this a one piece mold?

 

[MAKE BELIEVE]

Very good clean job
Congrats once again
