So i started working on the halfmask for my OC Human-Pred Hybrid.
My methods are still somewhat improvised,as in no where close to any actual sculpting as ive seen on these pages,but then again that method may not be for this kind of mask.
So first, the basics concept of the halfmask is to have the physical properties of a pred (semi-formed outer jaws/madibles,pronounced scalp and of course dreads,but still keeping a human face.
I created a basic latex face mold,then shaped and attached the 'skeleton' for the mandibles out of electical wiring,so i could still bend the jaws into a desired stance
(excuse the crappy webcam pics,no camera as of yet)
next i molded and attached basic clay teeth to the tips
(wich,in hindsight may have been done better afterwards,after having carefully detailed them more :/ i'll have to do that afterwards)
Next came the flesh/muscle shaping on the jaws,and the first layers of skin
Used a sheet of plastic as a base to shape the skin inbetween the mandibles on.
After drying,removed the sheet and worked on the inside .
Continued on to give the scalp a first bit of extra mass.
More will be done afterwards still,on top of the dread 'implants'
also added a bit of basic colouring to make it easier to get a better idea of the eventual model.
So i still got a LOONG way to go,but figured i start sharing,and hopefully people could give me some pointers,or set me straight of any potential boo-boo's i'm making.
I know a hybrid doesnt exactly follow a set standard,but i'd prefer to have it clearly be a Pred Hybrid,rather than just some alien thing with some vague resemblance.
I'll use this topic for further updates as i go,tho that may be slowing down a bit,as i'm running out of Latex,and my source of it is still out of stock as of yet -__-
And so are the tubing i use to make dreads with.
Guess i'll get started with the batch i got so far
