Ood sculpt for mask i'm making

[frosty]

Heres some finished pics

On that last pic you can see i need another couple of tentacles at the back, but nothing major, the orb lights up as well, not as bright as the original but enough.


Well the ood are back in dr who tonight, and i thought i'd make my son a mask of one of his favourite monsters.
I thought it'd only take me a few hours but its a hard thing to get looking right, and its taken me a couple of late nights sculpting to get it done.
I used a small head to sculpt it on, and left the bottom off to make it easier to wear, i'm doing the tentacle thingies separate, in latex and polyfoam, i'll coat them with clear silicone thinned with white spirit for that nice slimey look.
I was hoping to get it done for today but i've only just cast it up, i'm doing light up eyes and the ball communication thing as well.
heres a few pics, there not the best, but you get the idea

Looks fantastic, the originals were made with separate tentacles also, really interested to follow your progress :thumbsup

Coming along nicely man, what kind of clay are you using?

 

[frosty]

Thanks, its just water based clay, i used that for quickness more than anything, its great for building up forms quickly, not so great for detailing, you can do it though, i dry the clay out with a hairdryer as i go along, detail then smooth it out, then detail again.
Got the first one out the mould, and started trimming it

I have only seen bits and pieces of the new Who, and not sure what this guy is supposed to look like, but he looks cool to me so far.

Now isn't that just a mouth full of worms. Just don't talk to fast or you might end up with more than you asked for. :eek

Wow, fantastic! Can't wait to see him finished.

I wonder how many Ood masks the BBC made for the latest episode "Planet of the Ood", there were seriously oodles of Ood. :lol

 

[Goodwolf]

Ta da...

They are the coolest villains evah. No matter how hectic it gets, you can see that they always have time to sip a refreshing drink as they go. :lol

Frost my man with each new sculpt, you jump leaps and bounds.
Nice work!

 

[frosty]

Thanks,:redface
Did a bit of painting tonight, and roughly added the tentacles for the pics,

Working on it inbetween other stuff, should have it done soon

The tentacles appear to be a bit too big diameter-wise. You may want to make them just a hair narrower.

Just an observation. Otherwise it looks FANTASTIC!

Well i trimmed the tentacles back a touch, then painted and coated them with thinned down clear silicone to give that nice slimy look, i've added the eyes and punched up the colour a bit here and there, still got a bit of tweaking to do but the paintjobs done, i've started the orb as well, just waiting on some superbright leds for both the orb and the eyes now.

 

[Darth Clouds]

Nice!:thumbsup Is it wearable?

 

[Kadajiroth]

Coming along very nicely. Are you going to use red LEDs for the eyes?

 

[frosty]

Hi
Yes its wearable, i've got superbright red leds coming for the eyes, i originally had just red standard ones in there, but you couldn't see them when they were on, so thats why i'm changing them out

 

[Howlrunner]

Looks cool Frosty. Nice work. :cool

Did a first test fit with everything in place, he can see better than i expected
