can't wait to see your project
Yeah i see what you're saying. It's hard to get a good representation of how they look in a picture. In real life the veins look a little darker, and the yellow is a tiny bit brighter. I might still darken the veins more. The problem was the yellow and orange were too bright before.

Re: Jurassic Park Velociraptor Bust
Them's some nice curves you've got going.
What did you use to make the eyes?

Re: Jurassic Park Velociraptor Bust
Thanks haha I'm pretty happy with it. The clear outside of the eyes are the two halves of a clear fillable ornament. I just cut the loop off. The inside is just crappy air dry clay I had sitting around, which was actually getting moldy :sick pretty gross. I just used the inside of the ornament to shape it. Here's how they look now
I may have went a little overboard with this stuff, we'll see I guess

Re: Jurassic Park Velociraptor Bust
Nice work on the scaling so far. Still mad jealous of your curves, especially in the neck.
I don't know exactly how you sculpt with the material you're using, but one trick I learned while doing mine was to lay varying thicknesses of plastic on top of the clay before doing the scale patterns (thick plastic for deeper creases, thinner for for more subtle). It gave the texture a nice rounded and natural appearance.

Re: Jurassic Park Velociraptor Bust
Thanks, and thanks. So far on this eye section i was using a dental scaler to make the lines. I could definitely try that method once the material is less sticky. To get texture i used an acid brush and gentle taps with a wire brush too. The working time was shortened considerably around the eye since there was so much shaping i needed to do before i could carve the lines. Should be easier from here on forward

Re: Jurassic Park Velociraptor Bust
Great job on the eyes. I found when sculpting in apoxy sculpt that if you brush water over with a stiff brush, little dabs with a small wire brush, then remove the excess water off by dabbing with a sponge quite hard, you get a more natural texture to the surface.
Can't wait to see more.

Oh man, the memories of the countless hours texturing and retexturing are all rushing back to me.
Looking nice, good thinking with marking out the lip scales.

Re: Jurassic Park Velociraptor Bust
Haha yeah...and with this stuff it's a one shoot deal so if i don't like it I have to live with it. The lip scales actually started out as a straight line and looked horrible so i applied them individually and kept them fairly smooth. I'm pretty happy with it now
