It has the same look as @Kithunter's elder. Can't wait to see what you do with this. Its nothing like David Peas sculpt, which is essentially smooth, this has a inner layer of ridges along with a lot of detailing and forms Davids does not have.

Usurper Posted December 29, 2022 Author Share Posted December 29, 2022 not sure i ever explained, but the basic shape was a clay pour of the front of my silicone p1 from 2010, i then went in and changed the outer crown dread lugs to ridges, and there are in fact 2 inner ridge lines which do not show on the photos i guess. i then changed the forehead slope, nose slope and mandible heights before starting to get down and dirty with details. i literally used no reference off any other preds for this, just tried to stay faithful and be different at the same time to the P1. 🙂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MeanGene Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 If I was to be more specific. What it shares with Andrews head is: The over all size and presence The half open half closed mouth And The overall angry fierce look. I could see this being a great replacement for that head if Andrews ever needed to be retired. Not many masks have a this kind of size and presence. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usurper Posted January 25, 2023 Author Share Posted January 25, 2023 Been making predator props for a minute. But I had never made a bio before . Made in zbrush, the first cast came out yesterday. I powdered the mold with jacquard silver powder but think I will primer it and may go another route with paint other than mainly silver. Photos in reverse order the head it is on is my 2010 silicone p1. But it should fit my custom mask when I get one cast. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeanGene Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 A great labor of love. How many hours was the 3D sculpt and print process again? Wondering how much time that takes vs traditional clay sculpting. What is also interesting is the printed version vs the cast version. Something about the surface texture or it's shine looks different. Not good or bad, just different. Probably the different materials of each. What is the weight differential between the two castings? I would bet you plan on making a fiberglass Helmet for wearing to get a super lightweight copy? I got lots of questions.😁👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got lots of questions.😁👍 haha 30 questions, 3d sculpt i dont know i rarely keep time of things as i bounce between commissions and projects all the time, id happily bet its way quicker than sculpture because symmetry can be turned on in the program so you technically only work one side. plus i know alot of times waste molds are made then a resin copy is made and body shopped to the final form before molding. i did that with my 1st and second rebreathers. The print took i believe around 18 hrs per half ( it was printed in 2 ) on my elegoo jupiter resin printer. The 3d print is way way heavier than the cast, the cast weighs in at 883 grams with the eyes not cut out, i didnt cast it super thick and i feel the weight to wear wouldnt be much of a issue, i MAY cast one in fiberglass to see how much it cuts down but i am not sure its worth the hassle. the resin print is packed away but id happily guess it was double the weight. The surface of them look different as the cast has the above-mentioned powder applied to the mold, so being silver it picks up shadows and light differently to a matte grey finish, if i did cast in grey there would be nothing different to notice other than a slight shade variance.

MeanGene Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Interesting comparison from 3D sculpting to traditional clay sculpting. The symmetry part in clay is a killer. If only it was as easy as a clock of a mouse. Everything looks great. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MeanGene Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 Paint job looks amazing. Dark and sinister. Especially that gold trim. Hit them with the video Lee, so badass! Do another version. Mostly gold with black trim. Opposite. 🙂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usurper Posted January 30, 2023 Author Share Posted January 30, 2023 (edited) Oh I forgot it fits my 2010 silicone P1 and my silicone elder fine. Neither of these have magnets as yet so I guess it’s testament to the fit/general shape. Edited January 30, 2023 by Usurper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
