P1 To Elder Conversion For Hippie. Finished Pg2.

[Usurper]

Well, its been a loooooooooooooooooong time since i did a elder conversion, so while i am waiting to reclaim clay to get back on the proper elder sculpt, i decided to do a elder conversion on my closed mouth P1, which has now turned into a commision for Hippie.

here is the base mask ready for the head lumps to be added.

I made custom head lumps and moulded them last year, thankfully i still have the mould, but the lumps will have to be glued on then the edges latexed, pretty time consuming as there will be around 100 of them to do.

He will have P1 mandibles, but customised with some extra teeth, and a custom neckring.

I loved how you did Snake, I (we - the Lair) we can't wait how this one turned out!

UPDATE:

100 head spikes/lumps glued on , then latex'd around the edges, this took most of yesterday to do and is teeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeedious lol.

This morning i dremeled out 3 extra teeth holes on the lower mandibles, then i started to build up GUM mounds with liquid latex, i have done 2 passes so far, it will probably need another layer to build it up alittle more.
I did not try to add any extra teeth on the INNER slope of the mandibles as there is very little room there, and it would look very crowded if i did.

anyway, the 3rd layer should be done today, then i can start painting Thursday.

thanks for looking.
Lee.

Wow! Looking good so far, looks like its very time consuming to glue those spikes they look tiny, thanks for sharing this

 

[Usurper]

Yeah time comsuming but worth it i hope.

Also Chris sent some glass eyes today i think hey are a snow leopard variation, they are awesome quality and perfect size for a pred display, i think they are going to work awesome in this for him.

That's turning out AWESOME! Question, though: I realize it is so little slip latex you are using, but is the shrinkage a factor at all?

You mean on the head lumps edges? if so no not really, the latex is pretty much cured now bieng so thin, and it has not pulled away or done anything odd..........yet.

 

[Hippie]

Yet.

 

[Usurper]

it shouldnt do, i fill bubbles in masks with the same stuff, the mask was also washed so i am not worried in the slightest.

 

[Philby]

[Usurper]

[Andre de Jong]

There are many words used like; Nice, awesome and wow.

I can't think of any others words how great this looks so far.

 

[Double H]

Ok lee, you have the bump moulds. Will you be tempted to sell them as a pack?
Awesome work as always.

 

[Usurper]
