Steve get’s a face…

While, we have not been able to get as much work on Steve as I would have liked this weekend, thanks to some unforeseen events, progress is moving along nicely.

I wasn’t too thrilled with the looks of the tissue paper/latex, so have switched over to paper towel/latex. A combo I’m a lot more experienced with.

And, Steve has gotten a solid beginning on a face.

Also added was the femurs, and some feet. Along with redoing the legs in the paper towel combo.

Now, you might be asking why the funky colored paint?

It’s a trial, and I’m not entirely sure if it’s correct yet…

Just a small test…still haven’t decided to go full out UV paint or a more traditional finish quite yet…

Minor facelift

Got a little bit of a facelift to the header there….

That’s only taken a couple weeks to actually accomplish, including a good several hours tonight actually uploading it and getting it to work. (man code is annoying sometimes) But, it also is ushering in new capabilities, so look for more little upgrades soon. Hope you like.

Skinning Steve

We’ve spent the weekend getting some skin on Steve. Hands, feet, and skull are all skulpted, but I need the rest to dry a bit more before I go ahead and start attaching. Have to give it a few days.

Now the question starts to become just how I want to bundle him up, and just how do we want to paint and stain him once this step is over?

I also need to do some more work on the base, he’s just not quite to a point where he will stand up on his own. Need to get this part dry, then add some mache to the bottom side of the base.

Other to-do items are adding some femurs and add a finishing coat of latex to him after the hands, feet, and head are all attached and corpsed up. But, he’s coming along quite swiftly.

Steve update.

Steve has absolutely FLOWN together. Basing a lot of construction on Bob, but with the added advantage that since Steve is getting some heavy corpsification, I dont need real detailed bone structures. So, we put this up in a matter of 2 short nights.

I have the mache on a skull and base of this drying now, still need to make some hands, with any luck in some drying times we’ll begin the corpsing this weekend.

Now I have some decisions to make on just how to finish the poor guy. While these are meant to go into the blacklit area, do I want them lit by pin spots and finished in a traditional manner, or shall we pull more from these wonderful Wilfire paints and finish them for blacklit viewing?
