Thanks guys, I appreciate it. First silicone cast comes out of the mold today. I’m anxious to see him finished but have other chores that I have to do first. So much to to so little time.

Hi guys,
Well I said that I would post a photo of the finished Schlitzie silicone head so here it is.
I wanted to do all of the finishing on this head myself but because of other commitments ,and an eye surgery the painting and hair work was done by my friend Arjen. I couldn’t wait to see him finished and I wouldn’t be able to do it myself until around November.Hope you like it.
Rick

Thanks guys, I’m surprised at the response, this work is crude when judged by the work that the sculptors who work with me do. A lot of the techniques that I used on this sculpture for the texturing were developed by Mitch DeVane as were the tools. His work make this stuff look crude.
I actually felt guilty posting images of an actual sculpt since this is a ZB forum but I did do a ZB version first which I used as reference for the clay sculpt as seen on the wall in the time lapse video.
Also I figured that part of the closer shot could be used by someone as an alpha.
Hey if someone uses this for an alpha let me know I would like to see how it works.

Santis, the video of me making myself up was done in an hour. I had an hour time limit for the live performance of doing the make up for a MAC master class so I practiced numerous times to get the timing down. This was actually one of the earlier practice times the final make up was better after some practice.
thanks for looking sorry for sticking clay stuff in this digital forum.

Amazing Rick! Id love to see some close ups of Mitchs work as well, as its hard to find much about him on the net.

Best
Jamie
