Robocop Head sculpt - exposed 1/1

[Braddock001]

According to Wikipedia ,under the life mask (skin) of Murphy there is a metal skull,
Im thinking of doing a sculpt of it if anyone would like to extrapolate what it would look like. .
Someone Said to use a terminator base but I dont know . Anyone have a thought?

looks brilliant so far, i started my own sculpt years ago, only got as far as the face, love robo, you mentioned the helmet going over this, in the movies the helmet never would fit over the makeup as it was to bulky, so they cheated it, it would need sculpting a lot larger to fit over and probably would loose the look of it

 

[Braddock001]

Thanks!
I heard that too about the helmet fitting but that is an afterthought .If I finish this Sculpt I will call it a win.Then I will modify it with exposed brain housing and internals.
I was just going to leave the under mount smooth to accept the Haunted Studios life cast and then I came up with this .Don't know if it is the way to go.

Cool updates!
To be honest about the skull, it looks wierd...
The teeth are sitting too low and the eye sockets are huge!

My tip is to have a look at the early concept sculpts of the endoskull!

 

[Braddock001]

Thanks for comment . I have a scrap endo-skull . maybe ill cut off this and give it another shot.

 

[Braddock001]

Maybe more like this..

Now that's cool!
With "real" teeth, it'll look creepy as hell! (Yeah, that's a good thing!)

 

[Braddock001]

This fits under the mask . Am I going the right way?

 

[Snow Builder]

Cool! I think its coming along nicely.

 

[chanfan]

It looks creepy, so you are definately going the right way!

We know he has gum, so you'd probably want to incorporate "real gum" into the skull somehow! You know, mixing organic and robotic stuff! Like they took some parts of his real skull and built it into the robot skull. Like they did with his torso.

Keep up the good work!

Made some changes . I am kind of limited because of the Weller mask.Got allot of smoothing to do.

Every change you make is "headed" in the right direction! It keeps getting better.
Just an idea, but maybe having the teeth placed in a more natural way would help. In my opinion the teeth look placed a little flat. Curving the teeth more inward may help.

Yes you are right. My plan is to make them in a denture with small screws to attach it to the skull after it is molded. I don't think I can make it look good in the current placement .
here is what I will use.

Don't know if you've seen this or not, but there are some cool shots of when they open the back of his head and expose his brain at 02:20

SCRAP!
Going to sideline the under structure and finish the original sculpt.
Got the Haunted Studios mask today and it is no where close to the one I have. I trashed most of the under structure trying to get it to fit.
The mask from haunted studios is larger and has a better likeness to Peter Weller but the one I have had for years works better for fit and also it is in scale to the ref pictures.
