Lt. Ellen Ripley bust

Hello everyone and happy new year!

I've been away a while but wanted to come back and show my newly painted 1/2 scale Ripley. I had alot of fun with this. Hoping to do some more projects soon but for now heres some photos for you all to see....

Thanks for looking,
Steve.

 

Welcome back Steve! Ripley never looked better.

You should show off your Arnold, Paxton and Biehn sculpts to remind everyone of what incredible work you do.

 

I LOVE that!

It kinda looks like it's moving.

Like it's abstract, but not... with the use of color and textures...

IDK how to describe what I mean, so I hope you get that I'm complimenting your work!

Some people go for EXACT texture with silicone and hairpunching... and sometimes that IS better for a piece. But I REALLY like the vibe of this!!!

You really NAILED the feeling and essence of the Character and movie. Not just Sigorney Weaver in costume/makeup.

Very impressive work. Would truly like to see more!

 

Very Nice Steve!

Great Likeness!

Awesome ,the look on her face was like in the movie Aliens ,very nice.....

 

Thanks alot guys! :$

Thanks for the welcome Simmon, its good to be back

Speaking of Arnold, did you ever get the hairwork done on yours?

Thanks OldKen thats a very kind thing to say :thumbsup

I do know what you mean, the texturing is slightly heavier than usual because at this scale it needs to stand out. Its a very organic piece with alot of life, and movement is very important to me no matter how still the pose.

 

That is incredible!

The resemblance is uncanny. Fantastic

 

WOW Steve welcome back, awesome paint job and sculpt.
I have seen this piece in real life and it´s absolutely amazing guys.
This is still one of the best likenesses ever made in my opinion, and it´s
a lot harder to make woman.

Good luck on the sale and hope to see a life size version of Ripley one day:thumbsup

 

Thanks xenomorph!

And thank you Bjorn it is good to be back :thumbsup

 

Looks AMAZING!

I especially love the expression in the eyes/eyebrows!

 

Mate that is awesome

 

Very Nice & spot on!!

 

Cheers guys, really nice of you :$

 

Your avatar looks like a movie still. That's awesome. Even my wife said 'Heeeeey, not bad' as she was passing by and stopped for a second look.

 

Thanks mate. And thank your wife too! Its not always easy to meet the partners approval as well :lol

 

It's very impressive and alive !
You did a great job !

There is so many expressions in her eyes ....

You are very talented !

 

Very good job on this one...the painting and all looks really good.

 

Thanks you guys!:thumbsup

 

Impressive likeness, very well done

 

WOW! Very good likeness! Great work!

 

Thanks! :thumbsup

 

Hey Steve... Great to see this finally painted and like Bjorn suggested, you really need to do a lifesized version. Show us all what you're capable of now after working a few years as a pro at Tussauds, buddy

Even before leaving us all here, your Arnie bust is, not just, by far the greatest Arnie likeness I've ever seen - its also THE most lifelike bust ever to grace this site!

PS... probs see you for a few pints next month... the drinks are on you - only joking

 

Thanks Phil! Thats quite an accolade :thumbsup

And may I say the lengths to which you are going with the accuracy of your Yoda is very inspiring.

Look forward to a few pints in London town next month :cheers

 

Wily, wow.

That is great. Love the different angles. Deffinatly displays her features well!

Fantastic work, love her expression.

 

Wow! Nice job!
