Emperor Palpatine ROTJ

I have a friend who has been costuming as the Emperor from ROTJ for years now. He's used a Mr. Bungle silicone mask but its showing some wear and tear. Rather than buying another mask, he asked me if I'd be able to sculpt some custom-fitted prosthetics that were matched perfectly with his own facial features.

I started out by doing a full head cast using Smooth-On Body Double and created a resin bust to use as a sculpting base. I'm sculpting with medium grade, Monster clay.

First started blocking out the basic shapes.

... and have been going in and detailing as I go. Its been a process where I'll add something one night, let it sit and go back and take it off again... slowly but surely I'm getting happier with it.
