Update 2018 : I'm FINALLY posting my process, now that I'm making my silicone and plaster molds. The process of my first two attempts will be summarized over the next 2 months. Find me here: www.facebook.com/AngryPixiDesign/

I figured it was about time to post something I've done on here. Since this is the first large sculpt I've done it seemed "worthy". This is Picasso, Zorg's little mutant elephant/ant-eater creature from the movie The 5th Element. I know the 5th Element community on the RPF is pretty big and I hope you like it. I chose to make this little guy instead of the ZF-1 gun for originality's sake since the ZF-1 has been done exquisitely by many fans in the past and I knew I wasn't going to impress there. Ha!
Please post below with any tips about working in this medium/craft so that I may learn!
Doing replica work is tedious! Constant ratio checking, definitely a test of patience. I'm also new to using Monster Clay (love it) and doing fat rolls and doing non human anatomy. So a lot of firsts. That being said, I'm not very patient so once I get the "snout" to a place I'm happy with I'll probably start my mold (silicone/fiberglass) and then cast in FlexFoam-It 3. If I want to make it perfect I'll make a positive from the mold with poured Monster clay and do a re-sculpt version 2.0....but probably not!
I'm about a month in. That being said I spent a week just making the armature out of Great Stuff, plastic chicken mesh, and PVC pipe (I gave plenty cure time). Very little wire or foil in the armature.
Some pictures of me trying the compressed air freeze with sand paper buffing. Oderless Mineral spirits worked wonders on smoothing the sculpt but I found some cracks after it all dried. Was this from using too much solvent?
The eyes were a pain. I accidentally put them on the side of the head before realized they oriented forward. They came out creepy and I redid them like 5 times.
My friend came over and made him a mustache and a little dick and ball set.
