Hey all,
A client came to us with this really, really cool bust from the Prop Store Rick Baker auctions. It was a fully painted and haired face skin for Harry from Harry and the Hendersons on a biscuit foam form.
Rick often says Harry's his favorite creation and in person, it's easy to see why. The sculpt is so wonderfully natural. It's amazing just to see it up close.
We were asked to add eyes (custom acrylics, made dark blue to look like KPH's eyes with contacts), sculpt in eyelids, create teeth and tongue (translucent resin) and add hair to the back of the head and bib. We made some very minor repairs to the foam latex skin too.
It was a lot of work, and we wanted to be sure we did everything right. We tried really hard with the eyes to capture the feel of Harry and a bit of "fun." The fur was custom run to our specs by National Fiber Tech (two blends, actually) and is an amazing match.
A tree block base finishes it off nicely
That's Maria from our shop working in the pics. Steve Richter and some others of us did a fair amount of work on him too. If you want to see stuff like this (and more) as we work, be sure to follow us on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/TomSpinaDesigns
Hope you guys like what we did. This was a lot of fun!
best,
Tom
