Alien Bust update and SpeedSculpt

Nitty gritty progression on the Alien dude, swapped out his cat ears for weird flat drum ear things.. also cut off the back of his head to begin sculpting the headpiece that all the tech cylinders will plug into. I will be moulding and casting out a resin copy to put back into the bust and sculpt around.

*BONUS*
took a break from working on all this yesterday, tried a bit of speed sculpting and did a 90min sketch of a deep sea inspired creature character.

Alien Character Bust- WIP update 02

another update of my new character bust that I am working on, here is the previous post.
I like the idea that this character is part of an advanced alien species that augments their brainpower with extra memory and processing power based on technology, so all the nodes protruding from his head are either memory or processing centers that can be removed, stored and replaced as needed. Ultimately i will be giving the bust a full costume, that is currently being designed in my own small human brain, with no technological enhancements.. more info on the nodes below, scroll down to see more!

Congrats on scrolling down! the nodes are simple cylinders of polyurethane resin that I turned by hand on a lathe (My new baby in the workshop). extra styrene and greeble details were added to the basic turned shapes and then I made silicone moulds (simple 1 part block moulds) so i could cast out multiples of each part. A few extra resin greeblies were cast out from old moulds of the Pit Bot and added for mor visual interest.

sooooo prettty

Bonus images:

Fashion catwalk- looking at different costume ideas for the final piece, i like the idea of a cloak or some fabric covering that's not covering his head fully.

Life size, Chavant, more to come!

Turnaround of the model as promised!

WIP 01- Scratchbuilt walker drone 1/35 scale

 Took a look at some old sketchbooks of mine and decided to try and bring one of the designs to life as a real scale model. Just basically box modelling at the moment, the main 'head' and Missile launch system, will start blocking out the legs soon and detailing everything.

WIP Sculpture update

Still working away on the killer Croc bust, I completely remodelled the nose to be more reptilian.also below is a random creature thing I started on the sidelines to the croc, having fun experimenting with new shapes.
