predator 1 ..(heavy)

[thicky ricardo]

hello guys and gals im in the process of sculpting a predator themed motorcycle helmet ,i have a few progression pics so far but ive only have like 2 days off to work on it, so im not very far along yet,critiques are very welcome,but keep in mind im sculpting it on somthing big and round like a basket ball, so its hard to get all the dimesions and angles the same,while also leaving enough room in the visor so the wearer can still see safely, thanks for looking

p.s. scroll from the bottom up pics are backwards sorry

I was just wondering and about to ask the same thing I think that will be AWESOME!! I can't wait to see this painted and finished man

yup derfinatly putting dreads on it, looking into shorter ones ill give hez a pm alittle later, but after its smoothed out and finished and i add the pred crown and dread holes, im gonna cast in resin and attach to the helmet permanently , if all goes well i might make a limited run(cuz all the work involved) of these helmets,i plan on doing alot more different themed helmets in the future,thanks for the compliments guys

Very nice indeed! Your choice in helmet is perfect as well! Keep us posted!

I think you have a really awesome opportunity to come up with a new bio design, perhaps based upon distinct characteristics of your bike. Cool ass concept, though. Looking forward to more progress pics!

 

[thicky ricardo]

heres some more progression .....added the crown and dread holes

The direction your taking is almost like including a undermask and a bio in one. I wonder if a few would use this as a costume piece?

possibly, kinda big and mis proportioned due to the fact that its sculped on top of a helmet, i might just try and sculpt my first predator mask and bio soon, but the proper size, ....but good point i havnt seen an undermask and bio combo yet( correct me if im wrong)

If done correctly.. you could make a lot of money depending on the bio popularity.
