I was stuck at home all day today......so I thought I'd make a start on a new head....been dying to attempt an open mouth for ages now so I made a start.
Obviously I still have loads to do as all I have done is roughly shaped it......the teeth and mandibles will probably be a lot different in the end but I just wanted to know what it would look like with gnashers so I used some resin teeth that I had from my closed mouth and just put those in for now.
here's a couple of pics anyways.

I dont know how this ones gonna turn out as there are so many styles that I like.....but I have taken alot of inspiration from Narins scull hunter for this one as I really like the way he has sculpted the top lip and the forehead

thanks for looking

Lee

Great work so far Lee, looking forward to seeing how this one turns out.

looking pretty good so far keep us posted with pics i love seeing wip!

I think it is looking great so far, and I will be watching it with interest to see how it turns out.

-Chris

loving the evil red eye look very scary lol

Yep. Lee's at it again.

Looking forward to the finished sculpt!

Awesome work! Looking forward to watching your progress

I'll upload some more pics later when I have a photobucket account lol.

Thanks for looking

Nice furrowing of the brow. I don't know about the stretchy skin (4 lines) inside the mouth. Nice crown...looks good so far

Coming along nicely Lee, One small comment maybe lower the top tusks a little and should look perfect then. That's my opinion but your the sculpter it's your call at the end of the day. Anyway as you know I want to be the first to own one besides you, My order is gone in allready. Looking forward to see the end result and getting my hands on it, as they call me the head collector.

haha Stephen the Corkonian head hunter.. lmao..

ok back on topic.. looks well Lee i like it alot.. one thing tho.. as jason says.. the folds of skin inside the mouth look a bit iffy.. just my humble opnion tho..

I think the lines in the mouth look fine, especially when the rest of the mouth detail is still to be added.

Id like to see a more aggressive rear of the head, but its all about how the sculpter sees it.

Cheers fellas.....both areas mentioned are the areas that are giving me the most greif lol...those and the lower mandibles.
The mouth area is just roughed out (kinda) and I do need to add a bit more sinuey (if there is such a word lol)material.
The back of the crown is something that I will be staring at continuosly untill I can decide how to do it......same as the lower mandibles but unlike the lower mandibles ....I cant change the crown later on if i'm not happy with it.....so i would like to take my time with the crown and the mouth.
I've taken what Stephen has said about the upper mandibles.....but I would like to leave them where they are as I really wanted him to look like he is screaming his head off and opening his mouth as far as it will go. any lower and I think it will make the mouth look more relaxed.........plus to move them now will be alot of work lol.
well I did some more work on him yesturday as I was home all day again.....I would have got some more done in the evening...but the missus invited her freinds round....so I didn't get a chance to sort out me photobucket either so at the mo I can only upload 1 pic....and to do that I have to first delete one lol...as I am at the limit

so here is where he is now.....temp detailing added....I say temp as anything is subject to change.

Thanks for looking
and thanks for the opinions.

Hey Lee, It's taking shape now and as for the upper mandibles I did say it was my opinion and your the sculpter and it's desision at the end of the day but looking excellent so far the detail on the crown is perfect I wouldn't touch it just consintrate on the mouth. Again excellent send it over when finished.

Lee, asked me to up load these pictiurs for him, so have a look and hope you all enjoy.

Cheers Stephen....much appreciated....that'll save me a bit of time this weekend.

fantastic sculpt dude, love it!

Your welcome mate, anytime as those pics have to be seen to be appreciated.

incredible job mate!!!!! i love that sculpt is turning great

keep up your progress

i retract my earlier statement about the mouth,, lee.. this looks killer.. fleshie mark II i think muwahahahaha

Damn he's 1 pissed off pred. Really liking the sculpt Lee

amazing job mate

Cheers everyone.......I'm still not sure about the mouth myself Colm...or the crown lol....and I probably wont get much of a chance to get anything significant done to him over the next couple of weeks as the kids are off school and we're going away for the second week of their holiday.
I'll try and get some better low light pics tho to try and show a bit more of the detailing a bit better tho.
Cheers again

Thats one mean looking sculpt, love it

Interesting blend of different pred features.

The detail is sick! Especially the crown.

Cheers peoples....I'm hoping to get a little done today...so hopefully i'll be able to udate with some pics later on.
Thanks again

Nice departure from the standard preds we've seen. While you're at it, why not go all out and sculpt in a forked tongue, the way Winston originally envisioned it?

Like the teeth... when he takes a bite...!!!!!

Good forehead and cool looking wide mouth. Remember the mouth of the wierd new breed in a vampire movie.

Yeah! You can briefly see it in P2.

wow fantastic sculp, loving the details. Great job man!.

Cheers folks
Thanks for all the opinions....I have taken everyones on board and made a few adjustments here and there including lowering the top mabibles a bit and sorting something out with the mouth.....Its still not finished (the mouth) but i'm happier with it now than what I was lol........still not sure which direction to go with the back of the crown tho
I've even put in a forked tongue lol.....(I had a tip off about the suggestion)...i'll try and upload a pic....if i'm not successfull.....you may have to wait untill someone more competant comes along lol.
Thanks again

...well I managed one pic..lol.....dont worry....the cavelry will be here a bit later on.

Sorry i'm a bit useless when it comes to computers lol.

Damn, that sculpt is looking menacing, I like it.

lee i honestly wouldnt do anymore to it.. looks killer.. thats just me tho

man...he looks super pissed...

is this for a wearable mask or just a static prop?


AM

Very nice, even the rear of the crown fits in now, as your eyes are drawn away from the crown to the pissed off look all over his face.

mate that is fecking awsome love the nasty a hell look!

Cheers guys......I've still got quite alot of tidying up to do....aswell as texturing the neck.under the chin and the back of the head.....I may alter the back of the crown...i'm still not sure yet lol.....I'm away for a week from tommorrow so i'll see what happens when I get back.

lol.......I need to learn to type faster.....in the time it took me to reply to Colm......theres more replies lol.

Andrew....this is for a latex mask initially....I might look into making a resin one later on.....but the moulding process is putting me off...so i'll stick with latex for now.....which in my opinion is better anyways as you can wear AND display it

As for the back of the crown....I like it ....but I also have other ideas that might work better.....i'll have to keep looking at it to see if it grows...or wears thin with me.....I can always do it differently on me next one lol.

Cheers people.

Hi Guys, Again I'm post these pics for Skunk.

looking good, im liking this concept, kinda like MILK's

I like the spikes on the side of the head. . .looking sweet, keep it up!

Pretty awesome man! It makes me want to start sculpting again. Keep up the great work!

great sculpt,
i really like the supple changes in your design, they make a really big change( in the good way)

JB

cheers fellas.....been away for a week but hopefully i'll be able to get stuck back into this sometime this week.....I got a couple of paintups to fit in aswell tho.....but i'll do as much as I can.
Cheers again
