Will be interesting to see what it looks like with teeth. Looks a bit small, however may just be proportioned well to a smaller Predator

From the tip of the longest dome spike to the tip of the lower mandible, it's exactly 40cm...I actually think it's getting a bit big now..lol ;D

 

[LunaticNic]

I think Behemoth is some 59 cm XD

 

[LunaticNic]

Lol see XD just tried to outline the plastic head on my phone.

 

[Isubomo]

LOL

And that's why it's the Behemoth

What's your height Lunatic, if I might ask?

 

[LunaticNic]

Ran out of the Local clay!!! >.<

Wasn't able to do much in terms of finishing the head pre cleaning, because of this.. ran out and tried buying some similiar, or I thought it was. This clay, called NEWPLAST CLAY (from UK) is, sorry, but I thought was *****. the local clay was packaged almost similiarly, so I thought this was gonna be good as well. Not sure if it's been hot lately (28°C average Summer) or it's been made for UK weather (but NZ has pretty similiar weather), but it's sticky as hell when you've been kneading it long enough..ugh

Thing is, I've spread it all over the back part of the head and the dome spikes are made out of this, and I can't 'clean' it and don't want to scrape it off..

The direction I think I'll probably go forward with is once I get my hands on some of the local clay again, is put it over the icky one...supplier told me he'll get a new batch in about 3 weeks >.< unless I find it somewhere else..

So while waiting, made the fangs and the mandibles, so a pretty productive weekend as a whole! Realized I still had some small amount off white Fimo oven baked clay left. As you can see from the fang and mandible test, the mandibles IMO is too extended out, especially the lower one, so will try and fix that the next few days..

Anyways, that's it for now, will update again soon!

Despite your clay troubles this is looking awesome! By the way, I think you're probably right about the lower mandibles.

 

[Isubomo]

Made some adjustments in Photoshop of how I think the mandibles position should be..and the Icky clay..lol ;P

Thanks Pyro! I'll keep at it, but most likely won't be able to do much as the wait for clay continues..might do some of the other stuff while waiting.

My clay..hasn’t arrived yet..said another 2 weeks >.<

Couldn’t wait any longer, so...got another kind from another supplier who runs her sculpting supplies store from home as she’s a full time sculptor herself. And they arrived last night! Had only 3 hours of sleep, but it was all worth it! Great to be back and working on Isu’bomo again!

Only thing is, the new clay that I got has only got Tan as a colour, so I’m basically sort of ‘re-doing’ everything..but I think it’s good

because the head itself has ‘grown’ a bit more (Nic said it looks small ;P) and I was gonna add more for details, so it’s never really time wasted. Bit slow though as I want to cover everything gray to tan. I like it too, shows me closer the colour of what it’s gonna be like when I paint it. Anyway, here’s where I got to so far..will try to do more later! Adding more details of course and texture..

Just wanted to let peeps know the dream is very much alive, just hit a little snag with supplies, but all good now!

*side note, buying the clay from the supplier has I believe, opened up a door of opportunity. She was quite excited when I showed her what I was doing, and she supplies some moulding stuff as well, so she might be able to help with the casting and all that too, hopefully, I can get some sort of unofficial ‘apprenticeship’ under her..always room for improvement I always say!

Great work man! Really loving this design and detail!

 

[Pyromaniac]

Yeeees, it begins again, glad you finally got that clay!

 

[Isubomo]

Great work man! Really loving this design and detail!

Cheers Nic!

I really love the 'scale-ing' that you did on your Berserker, did you put them on scale by scale?

 

[Isubomo]

Yeeees, it begins again, glad you finally got that clay!

Thanks Pyro!!! was starting to get bored out of my skull, was playing SWTOR again, LOL

 

[LunaticNic]

It's a secret I'll pm you
But it makes me so happy to see another custom Pred here that looks different lol

 

[Pred Haster]

Great work on it !! I can't wait to see this baby finished !

 

[Isubomo]

Just posting an update

Finally covered up almost all of the grey clay, just gonna do more texturizing and 'cleaning up
(had to add in some 'webs' in between the dome spikes to accomodate more dreadlock holes, better spacing I mean..didn't really want to, but didn't turn half as bad I expected them to..Will just probably have to elongate the spikes even more so)

Speaking of dreads, if my calculations are correct, with the way I'm going with the holes placing, I'll have approx around 60-64 strands, does that seem little? Cheers!
