Neytiri SE Bust 1:1 bust (human scale)

[DAZ71]

Hi Guys

well this is my first post here...I know she is not a figure but thought I'd show
it just finished, her nipples have been covered for obvious reasons, she was sculpted in smooth grey water clay, moulded and hollow cast in Polyurethane Resin, she is finished with acrylics and airbrushed. the eyelashes were individually placed

thanks for looking
and fire any questions or pm me

Very impressive Darren that's a tough scale too, no forgiveness!
How did you do the eyes ? And is this commercially available ?

 

[JasonB]

The eyes look like the ones used for taxidermy. Very cool and well done. I can't imagine how much something that big would cost!

Wow, very impressive sculpting and an amazing likeness. I'm not sure why you covered up the nipples though; we have many experts on nipples here on Planet Figure (and many enthusiastic amateurs).

I'm curious to know how long it took you to sculpt this piece and whether you think its easier or harder to sculpt in smaller scales??

just echo all the guys before me.

Wow Darren, that is one impressive sculpt indeed. I also think that it is a figure, to be accurate, it is a bust and should definately be allowed to be shown here. The only difference between this bust and others on this site is the shear size.
You have done a great job on this, from the sculpting to the paint job, not over done but just right. Love it.

Can I ask, did you sculpt this from scratch or do a human head/body cast and alter this?

Hi
Just to answer a few questions
The eyes are hand painted
I used to work making human artificial eyes for patients in clinics
So i use the same techniques

The sculpt took around 50hours...give or take a few, the paintwork took around 10 days its always longer on the first one

This piece is not available commercially only as a commission

The piece was sculpted from scratch
Nothing else only a wooden armature underneath


I will post some more pics and of the
clay sculpt

Thanks again

Very impressive sculpting, painting and finishing!

I wouldn't know why you'd cover up the nipples of an alien though...?

Cheers,

hi

Reason her nipples are covered is they are the same as a human females nipples and due to some forums policies you cannot show nudity even if they are blue and alien.....and so because this was my first post here i did not want to offend anyone and was unsure of policies on showing nudity i do have pics of them exposed if anyone wants to see

Darren Thanks for the forethought

Some members check in from work and there are youngsters -

Nudes are fine as long as they are labeled with a warning in the thread title : contains nudity, NSFW, etc..

Thanks for sharing the unpainted sculpt, most impressive! It must weigh quite a bit!
