Turns out, my skulls aren’t quite big enough for this latest project idea for lighting the Witch’s area.
And, taking some measurements, I was unable to locate any for sale, either…
Well, if you can’t find it, MAKE it.
And, if I’m MAKING something, I’m going to take some liberties with it as well. I figured, if we’re passing this witch off as an ancient entity there from the dawn of time, let’s have the skulls represent that. Yet, Cro Magnan, and other skulls of antiquity were also off in the dimensions I need. (I considered buying one to cast)
So, I’ve certainly incorporated some aspects of the Cro Magnan brow into this. And, purposely have enlarged the eyes. The nose still needs some work, but I can’t until the rest of the clay is re-conditioned.
And, some details need to be added to the skull and teeth, but can’t until the thing dries a bit to allow some finer carving.
Shown next to the primary model for my skulls for reference (cast of a 21 year old Chinese female, in case anyone’s wonderdering)

Plan is to finish this thing off in the next few days. Fire it mid-week, and start on a cast of it by weeks end.
Any luck, and we’ll have a prototype of the idea in a couple weeks. We can go from there.
