Hi Everyone!
I now have a new found respect for silicone busts! This had to be the most challenging piece I have ever worked on to date The full piece is cast in a translucent platinum based silicone, the teeth are full acylic dentures and the hair was partially National Fiber and hand punched single strand hairs.
First off, I had a great opportunity in getting detailed calipered measurements off of an actual production head to use like all of the Madame Tussaud wax museums do to make this as accurate as possible Not only did I get the measurements I needed for the sculpture, I also got to take some great photos in Rick Baker's shop while visiting him a few months back of my target head!
Originally I wanted to make Indy my first silicone bust, but I decided I would start with this werewolf piece to cut my teeth on (no pun intended). Now that I have all of the techniques down, this will make for a super realistic Indy bust! I'm also currently working on another transformation head, the one where he looks more like David
I would also like to thank Guy Louis for walking me through the silicone process and for his amazing Fuse FX platinum silicone paints!
Hope you like him!
