this is a picture of the clay sculpt, the piece is going to be cast in silicone.
when making prosthetics in silcone, its common practice to punch up the detail as alot of it gets washed out due to the translucancy

Alot of the detail is lost in translation when cast in silicone, some artists go heavier than this.
Looks fantastic fettster!

No worries, I have seen beautiful sculpts that just look flat when cast as the light passes though the silicone washing out all the detail

Thanks very much, just keep at it. The main problem with not doing skin texture is that unless your prosthetic covers your whole face, you will never be able to blend the piece in with your own skin because YOU DO have skin texture.
You may be able to hide the edges but as soon as the light hits you face, the piece will stand out.
Having said all that, yours is a very good piece for a first prosthetic

In another thread you mentioned cutting the clay with vaseline. Would you mind going into the process a bit? I've never heard of that before, I've got a few pounds of nsp hard that I wouldn't mind softening up a bit.
Again, great job on that. The forms are very organic and subtle.

Any quick recipes for that clay softening technique. I attempted to sculpt my own navi, but I can't imagine Chavant being able to pick up those porous details, and thats just with the medium density clay. :cry
Nsp medium is great for picking up detail as its pretty firm. if your using a solvent to soften out the details and its washing away try adding your textures then polishing over with a brush and plain ole talc powder. it works a charm.

the native na'vi had 4 fingers.
but the "avatar" na'vi had 5
No, they didn't.
Nice sculpt, though. If I weren't tiny and more 'hobbit' shaped, I might be interested in getting one.
Huh... I stand corrected!
