Prometheus: Hammerpede in the works

[BuGz]

Hi all,

Not been on here for a few months. It's been a busy time.

I wanted to share with you my new project. I am currently working on a Hammerpede creature from Prometheus. I will be producing two versions of this creature. The first one will be based on the closed head and the second will be based on the opened head. They will be as close to 1:1 as possible and will replicate every detail.

I will post up some pictures of my progress this week.

Keep you posted guys!

Regards,

Bri

Thanks for the great responses. My materials arrived today so will start sculpting the Hammerpede tonight. Once I am happy with the final sculpt I will be making latex versions of these. Will work on a price structure as soon as the first test pull is complete.

Pictures to follow.

Cheers

Hi guys,

Quick update - turns out the oil based clay I ordered was HARD oil based clay. But I have attempted to start this guy. I have been working on the Opened Head for an hour now. It is still lacking details but please tell me what you think:

Be honest now -

Bri:lol

Ok turns out it's industrial oil based clay. I've ordered up WED clay from same supplier. I'll keep the one I have for now as a test and once the WED clay arrives, will tackle this guy again but with better details as this clay was too hard! :unsure

Cheers

Bri:lol

Hey all,

Small update, I have tweaked the main "head" a little more to look more like the movie version. I've bulked it out allot more and added more details to it.

The body will be a sculpted tomorrow. This should be molded by Saturday evening. Once the molds are ready I can begin making latex versions of these guys.

I will post a separate thread in the junk yard as soon as it's ready!!

In the meantime a little picture to keep you going for now!

Thanks for looking!!

I have not seen the film yet but am wondering, did Giger design the creatures in this film as well?

I think he had some input. not entirely sure. It has some elements of Gigers sexusl references though.

Sculpting the body right now. Once complete it should be around 3 foot long.

Keep you posted.

Great work. Looking at your sculpt, for the first time I can see a direct correlation to the earlier designs. It looks like an embryonic face hugger. Totally missed that connection in the movie.

It's a nice start. You have the bottoms of the "wings" going almost straight out to the sides. They should sweep up more with less of a "corner" at the bottom. They should also extend past the top of the "head". But again, a good start.
