rancor puppet replica

[The Schlitzie]

This is looking amazing. I love seeing updates on your sculpts progress. Keep it up!

 

[Gabriel P]

thank you The Schlitzie! I
've worked on the face and i tried to enhance those groves in the gums as you showed me christrom and it looks a lot better, thank you very much for youre advice, it is helping me a lot in this project, i am trying my best to get all of those details wich make it so natural looking, so here's some pics of what i got done today.

man thats looking sick.. this might have more detail than the replica anyway. lol
looking forward to its completion.

Looking great! By all means, take or ignore my advice as you see fit. After all it is your interpretation! You should think about fitting out the puppet as an animatronic with servos and program it. That would be really cool

 

[Gabriel P]

i actually already thought of doing that with the servos, like for the fingers and the head, i have a little robot in the garage, the robosapiens and i guess i could take the servos out of that and put them in the rancor once i am done with everything, i am still thinking of how the inner structure will be, i would like the joints to be in a certain way that they can be locked to put the figure in any position,i will also make some resin casts if the molds come out so that i will have the resin one and the puppet, tomorrow i will take that robot out of the garage and take it a part to see a little bit how it works and how i could use the servos in the rancor, they would be very usefull for the fingers and the head, i will cast the hands and the head separatelly from the rest of the body because indeed they are the two parts wich will have more complex components in them.

ok here are some updates, i've worked on the texture on the body and i resculpted the shoulders, they almost had too much detail and it gave them a look wich didn't quite like so i made them smoother, and they look better i think, i still have to work on it and i will try to make an elephant skin texture on the rest, i think it would be the closest thing

 

[christrom]

Looking sweeeeeet!

 

[Gabriel P]

Thanks Chris , now i will have to sculpt the legs, are they very tricky?

 

[christrom]

They are not too bad - on the studio model they are pretty lumpy without much definition. You'll do fine

 

[Gabriel P]

Great! :thumbup:

 

[Gabriel P]

I've been working on the legs and one arm and i got the shape right, now i just have to add some texture to the skin, tomorrow i will post some pictures.

 

[Gabriel P]

sorry but in these days i wasn't able to post some pictures of my progress, please excuse the poor quality of the pictures, tomorrow i will post some good photos, what do you think?

 

[Gabriel P]

I still have a lot to do on the thickness of the legs and the arms as you can see

 

[christrom]
