Back to be an artist & Darth Vader Bust WIP 005

Hello guys, it's been months since I post. My life change a bit since then. After 2, almost 3, years I finally switch back to be an artist. Not coordination anymore. At MPC montreal, I was covering FX department on various movies: Xmen, Terminator: Genisys, Goosebump, Pirate of the Caribbeans, etc. But I grow a bit tired of redoing the same schedule on planning. As an artist at least it's new subject. So I'm now in 3ddmp for MPC. I sculpt environment :) Really hope the be on many movies in 2017 to grow my portfolio.

As for my personal projects, it's still going. My Nux character is on pause since I start a Darth Vader bust in CG but I plan to 3d print it and cast it for the next Montreal comic-con 2017. I have a stand there so I hope to have something to show and sell.

I plan a screen accurate Vader bust in 1:2 scale from Empire Strike Back (ESB). So mean I will have the helmet only. I don't plan the character inside even if we see i'm in the vader chamber in ESB. I will produce a very limited copy of the v1 bust and will move on to an other bust next. Here's my progress so far

Anatomic Study - Skull - 1:2 1:3 1:4 3D Print

I order two other scales: 1:3 and 1:4. I put two dies (2d6) to help judging the scale. I'm also done with printing skull. I plan to mold them next. I try to sand the 1:2 but I think I will create a mold from that current print, cast it in wax. It will be much easier the sand it and adding additionnal details and it will be a great mold base for all kind of skull.
 I will mold the 1:4 first.

Anatomic Study - Skull - 1:2 3D Print

Hey guys, I print my skull. Turn out very well. As a first try with his 3d printer my friend did a pretty good job. I plan to order few skull of various size (1:3-1:4) to be able to have a variety of skulls.

Now time to sand it and mold it to cast a variety of material.

I did it at first to get a good base for my 1:2 sculpted busts. I don't see a lot of character busts of that size around. So maybe I can be unique in a geek convention and sell few? who knows
