Heads and More Heads

After finishing my cgi animation book trailers I went back to traditional sculpting--focusing on movie actor portraits as well as trying my hand at doing a live portrait using a model.

I wasn't satisfied with some of my earlier portrait heads and basically ended up redoing a bunch of them.

Here's some of what I have been doing.

Portrait of actor Michael Ripper.

I got such a good reaction for this one that I have been doing another (in mold stage).

Can read a nice write up about it here. Thanks to MB and the folks at Peter Cushing Appreciation Society for their encouragement.


Also have a Patrick Troughton head and updated a Peter Cushing sculpture I did. Will be painting them when I get a chance.

 Also been working on a new Christopher Lee head.

And the model portrait I did recently. Many thanks to model "Dane Halo" for coming out for the session.

And another celebrity head I am just not satisfied with.

Korkon and the Demon book trailer

If it looks like it was a lot of work for one person that is merely because it really the @#%$@! was!

Character Heads

A few things I have been working on.

The Amazing Voyage of Azzam Trailer

A long time in the making, using every digital technique I know. If you think it is all from a real movie then I have succeeded. It is a book trailer.

New book cover

Cover of the new Sword and Sorcery book. Working on an animation related to it now.

Miniature teeth making

Here are a few samples of teeth castings I made alongside a lifesize teeth cast used as reference. I am making them in two scales--for figures approx. 1/6th scale and 1/4th.

New cg animation

Finally got this sucker done
As a learning experiment it was a major pain in the ass but now that its over I can get to things less tedious.
The idea behind it is that its a mutated astronaut who encounters some kind of anomaly near Saturn.
The final shot was my favorite and added to give it a better send off.
