Alone In The Dark WIP - Sculpt Progress
Posted On: 05/28/2008 03:03:30


       I just started on the sculpt a few days ago due to complications. I had been waiting for the LED's to arrive and had not yet done so when I needed them. I need them to sculpt around so that I get a perfect fit when I'm making the molds. I did start on a quick sketch of the hands but quickly destroyed it simply because of it's size. Carnby would have been huge had I gone with that scale.

      Once I got the LED's I started a new set of hands and then worked myself up to the head and have been there for about 7-8 hours now. I am  using a buddy's new wax and so I had a bit of a learning curve to contend with. I have really put myself in a pickle in many regards now. I am sculpting with a foreign material. I have about $850.00 of my own money in this project. I have very little time to get through loads of work i.e. Sculpting a human likeness realistically, Molding, Casting, Painting. I have physically demanding day-job. Countless hours of researching and blogging. And of course the huge fear of flipping it all up at any second.... But I'm having a total blast!!!  Anyway, here is Carnby as he was a few hours ago. Feedback would be great, Thanks for looking!

Wow man! Great stuff! I'm loving the hair!  If you're casting and molding him, remember to make any details bolder than normal so they can be picked up in the casting process. Like lines a little deeper and pronounced. You've done that, and it looks fantastic!

that is some amazing stuff man, seriously, I love your work, especially after this! Nice job, I gotta start sculpting again, for school has delayed me much too much. What type of wax is that and where can I get it from online?






Thanks!

    

    Hi Dragon, Thanks man! Life gets in the way of everyone's hobby sometimes. It's a special blend of wax called FUSE and it is hard to get and it's hard to work with if you don't have all the necessary tools. I have at least $800.00 in just tools, especially for sculpting wax.
