Heres a finished head, it was a fun paintjob, lots of veins and details

I have been going through older pics of mine picking out some old favourites, thought i would share on here
first up a repaint, a friend had ordered a fully finished predator mask from another maker, after waiting months this turned up

wonky eyed, missing mandibles and generally looking a bit pants, i offered to fix it up for him

Here's what i came up with, i first fixed and reset the eyes, made new eye inserts, attached the lower mandibles then stripped the paint and completely repainted it,

He was made up with the redo, and i was pleased it went well

next up a childhood favourite ET, i drew this fella so many times growing up, the clay sculpture just flowed out of me, heres the finished display head, with hand made acrylic eyes, made from latex and polyfoam

next up another paint job on a resin bust, i didn't sculpt this, just made the acrylic eyes and painted and added hair and a base

Amazing skills mate, Alien looks amazing

 

[grinchy]

Aww cheers mate, it was a fun project,

 

[grinchy]

so i haven't done anything crafty this year, my health has not been great, but heres an old paintjob on a bust i did, just the paintjob not my sculpture

 

[Cazza]

Incredible, mate! From Blade?

 

[grinchy]

yes mate from blade 2, i only painted this one, not my sculpt, but it was a fun project

 

[Michael Sith]

The paint job on that is outstanding mate, realistic veins, superb work as always

 

[grinchy]

cheers mate appreciate it, you had chance to do any more artworks in the new place yet?

 

[Michael Sith]

Sadly not, painting walls and ceilings though !

 

[grinchy]

hopefully you can get some art done when you are settled in, you have a real talent for it, i'm hoping to get back into making stuff when i get this health of mine on a more even Kiel

When i found out about Ian's passing I knew I had to go and get my Yoda head. I started displaying it recently as it was on storage but yesterday i decided to give it a repaint and repair some latex wear and tear. I still have to do the hair and mouth area / teeth but I wanted to get this done.

RIP Ian, I hope the paintjob is good for you mate.
