New pennywise sculpt in the works,

[frosty]

Well i know a few people have tackled old pennywise before, one of my favourite monsters, i wanted to go for the scene after the kid sprays him with batterry acid and half his face becomes the monster.
I am planning on doing one with a hole in the skull and the dead light shining out, wondering what to use for that, its a bright light in the movie done with opticals, i am thinking maybe el sheet, but any ideas would be welcome, its going to be a polyfoam head with a fibreglass core
Heres what i have so far, still rough but getting there slowly, top lip needs work now i look at it again, and the head needs shaving down, weird you see things clearer in pics sometimes

Heres one of the referance shots i am using

No love for old pennywise then?,
Any ideas on the lighting i planned to do?

looks great,

That film really disturbed me when i was younger.

For lighting, hw about a resin hollow cast, chrome painted on the inside and a bright bulb at the bottom?

Yeah that could work, i am doing them in polyfoam, with a resin core, just have to be carefull of heat build up

For the light, all you'll need is a few (2 or 3 should work) super bright white LEDs (usually available from radio shack) and an old flashlight. Wire the LEDs up with a battery pack, resistor and switch (I'm pretty sure there's a website that can tell you what resistors you'll need based on your power source). Gut the flashlight for the reflector. Shine the LEDs in to the reflector - instant bright, even light with no worry of heat build-up.

That sounds like a good idea, thanks i will give it a try. :thumbsup

They actually make a small flashlight similar to the old school maglites which have three super brite leds backed with a reflector already. I saw them at Wal Mart the other day.. I'd shine it through a magnifying lense and wire a switch so you can easily turn it on and off. Nice work, btw.
