That under skull is a thing of beauty man.  Will you be doing a video of it or will you wait until the suits complete?

I know it is hard to believe but I actually have one side of the upper head done. It doesn't sound like much but now that I know what I
want it to look like the other sidecshould go faster. Here are a few shots for ya'll.

As a side note if you look at these closeups you can see little beads of clay. This is from the alcoholing. This would be one of the things I don't like
about this Klean Clay. I use canned air to cool it then I can brush it away but it is still  a pain.The other thing is that this is the hardest they have and I would like it to be harder. I have to be to careful working around on it. I have been reading good things about Monster Makers Clay. I saw a Youtube clip of Steve Wang saying it was really hard and that is why he liked it. I guess my next sculpt will be with that. Thanks for checkin in everyone.

I put in some good hours the last couple of days. Once I started getting more detailing done the asymmetry started showing up so I spent some time straightening that out also. I still have the smallest details to do up there but the main forms are down.

Thanks for checkin in.

 

[AlphaTech686]

Crap, now after looking at these I see more asymmetry I need to fix.

Hey Tony, I'm doin the best that I can. I spent a few hours this afternoon roughing in the dread eruptions in the topknot valley. Here are a few photos. I need to do a lot of cleanup and after that a lot of detailing texture.

Awesome detail as usual.  Such a unique design... but how are you addressing the center area where the dreads will erupt toward one another?  Will your Pred be sporting a really tall Top Knot? The top three look like it will be a really tight fit.

That is a good question. The topknot dreads that go there just run into one another and turn towards the back of the head. Nothing really shoots upward. 
You know I only have a clue that this will even look good. I have high hope that it doesn't look stupid. I will be answering the question on your post when I have time later.
