P1 Sculpt!!!

[icarus]

Hi guys, been lurking on here for a few weeks after being introduced to the site by Esdain.

I became hooked very quickly and have therefore decided to have a go at sculpting my own P1 head! I have never worked with clay before so this is my very first time sculpting and I am in the early stages of getting the basic shape.

Please feel free to give me comments good or bad, as all advice will help me improve what I hope to be a good sculpt!

So, here it is!

I will be uploading more pictures soon, but the other side at present looks rubbish so will post up more when I bring it up to speed

Good basic shape to start.

i have to say its great to see more people sculpting

 

[icarus]

just make sure its big enough. my first mask is way too small!!! i spent a lot of money and time and its no good. just make sure you have an idea how large these masks are. When i saw one in person i was blown away. i had no idea how huge they were.


just a tip

Thanks buddy, its definately not wide enough at the top. need to add an inch on either side. I'm not sure if the top half of the head is too tall? what you guys think?

Ok guys, mini update.

I've been off work for a couple of days this week and have been really busy, but have managed to expand the size of the head at the sides so it now measures 12" across..

Bearing in mind this is still work in progress, I realise its not nearly symmetrical yet, but that I am working on

Let me know what you guys think! Again all criticism welcome.

Looks good--be aware of the shrinkage factor of latex---you generally want to make your sculpt 1" bigger overall to compensate.

I agree, these mask are huge, when I did mines from looking at a P. Manders mask, they are pretty huge, so much room inside when you get the raw latex mask, So far so good, Kudos++++++ Keep up the good work.

yeah more sculptures ! looks good so far ,looking forward !!

 

[Usurper]

starting to take shape

the rear of the head could probably do with alittle filling out imo, but each pred is different, theres no correct/incorrect way or style.

 

[icarus]

thanks for all your replies guys,

Carlart, its currently measuring around 21.5" neck, 12" across at widest point, and 19" from top of head to chin. Will this be sufficient?

 

[Usurper]

length is fine as it will be longer when you add mandibles.

Width it should be ROUGLY ( each is different, so it may not suit YOUR pred ) 12" MASK, so if you aiming for 12" wide mask, make the sculpt alittle wider.

 

[Usurper]

keep going, youll get frustrated at times, but one day youll sit up and go ....... **** thats cool

 

[esdain]

nice jay, i really am gonna have to pop over and finish it for you, i am thinking i use my thumb and do the eyes ears and mouth, how's that sound? look good tho, now crack on, you'll save petrol that way

 

[ONE END]

Ok guys, no update as yet, been a little busy.

Re-posting the same photo's again as I realised I posted them under my old account name, which looked as though 2 people were working on the same sculpt!

Silly computer remembered old login for some reason....

Anyhow:

 

[icarus]

Also thanks for all your replies guys, I have two weeks off now, so i'm hoping for major progress! Had to order some more clay last week which should arrive today!

 

[icarus]

Sorry for the massive delay in updating this guys, been well busy and just havent had much time to spend on the old pred sculpt.

HOWEVER... I have done a bit this evening so heres a couple of update pics. Hope you like.

All opinions/tips welcome

Definitely getting there.
I have been tempted to try sculpting one for myself but at proportions that fit my (5'7") frame.
Thanks for giving me even more incentive.
