Aman update! Working on the staff now, color is irrelevant since it will be cast in resin and have to be painted. Working on the skulls too!

Yeah, wow - just stunning good.

Aren't two of the three skulls just regular 1/6 human skulls? I seem to recall it's just the one bigger "Mars Attacks" skull but maybe not - and also I think they are mummified, not just bare skulls, and if that's the case then just casting a stock 1/6 skull may not work.

Some early progress shots of my Saelt-Marae sculpt. The eyes need a major overhaul before I start getting into fine detailing, but I'm pleased enough with how it's starting out. This one's a fun one so far.

You're a pretty great sculptor. Looking very nice already.

 

[D.R.37]

Very nice indeed

 

[rocky100370]

WHOA!!!! you guys are going to bankrupt me!! AWESOME job!!

 

[Son Of Dengar]

Well wouldja look at that. Damn fine work sir. Damn fine!

 

[Stryker2011]

Brilliant. Positively brilliant.

 

[Chakaman]

Damn dude! Impressive. Yak looking great so far. Good stuff.

 

[ajp4mgs]

Thanks for the support guys; it's greatly appreciated! You all are very kind.

I set aside a good chunk of time today to try to shape some areas of this Yak-Face sculpt to be more how I want it, and then I took some photos to compare with reference images. Turns out that I still need to narrow the eyes even more (vertically), and narrow the nose (horizontally). Overall, though, I'm happy with the general shape and proportions.

I put together some of my comparisons below. Thanks again to those who replied.

Fantastic progression and strive for perfection on this

 

[slikkerias]

Looks amazing!!

 

[Stryker2011]

Nice touches. Even the moles on the jawline. Wow.

 

[firefighteruk]

Just superb work.

 

[rocky100370]

Fingers crossed this will be available for purchase!!

 

[The_Darkness_Predator]

Outstanding. Thanks for sharing.

 

[Cagoda]

WOWWWWWWW!!!!!!! DUDE.
ajp4mgs, that sculpt is phenomenal!! The comparison pics you posted are so freaking good! I'm really digging the moles and the wrinkles!
It looks like you're using Super Sculpy- are you hardening it as you go or curing it all when you're done with the sculpt?

 

[ajp4mgs]

Thanks again, everyone! I'm hoping to be able to finish the sculpt fairly soon; need to adjust quite a few things to be more accurate. Then on to the part I always dread the most: molding & casting. I'll update as I go.

I'm planning to bake/cure it only once, when I'm completely finished. Some things (the ears in particular) I'm leaving to be refined with sanding after it comes out of the oven, though. I hate trying to smooth out certain areas before curing because they're tougher to reach without potentially screwing up other stuff. And sanding works better for me in certain cases anyway.

Beautiful sculpting work. Was looking up reference sources after you posted but you nailed it clearly with those comparisons.
