Berserk manga, Skullknight

[JtotheP]

Here's my new project, Skullknight, from the amazing manga Berserk.

I've only been tinkering with it here and there for now. It is going to also have his signature spiked collar for those who know the character.

Comments welcome, please--and don't hold back.
Thanks!

Please keep in mind that this is a helmet and not an anatomical skull.

Loved your Guts' Berserker helmet and to see a Skullknight helmet side by side with Guts' helmet will just kick so much ass.

Most tempting--Maybe a bust that could fit the helms over top if desired.

Quick new update. I made him a little less angry looking by shaving down the mass above the nose ridge. I also added more to the top back of the helmet for less of a slope than before, and I started on the spike crown.

New update--SPIKES, YEAH! I used Roma #3 clay for stiffer working medium. The spikes aren't all perfect yet and still a bit mishappenned. I'll probably pick a few of the good ones and just mold those for reproduction. Right now they are all there for size and placement.

I finished skulpting the head and got approval for molding. I decided to do a case mold for better strength and longevity. I'll be pooring the silicone tomorrow, which I'll vacuume out the air bubbles first before pooring.

Finished sculpt:

Molding process:

After removing the clay and putting one side of the jacket back on, you can see what the thickness of the silicone will be:

very cool.

I'm glad you're showing the process as I have no idea how this process works.

New update--I started on the spiked collar with the first casting of the head. I'm using foam for the collar (hell of alot qicker). Right now the collar is set to be able to adjust the size till I get final approval.

you're talented.

I made a video of the next update to give a more proportional representation:
