DarthSinister's Customs
« on: September 12, 2011, 07:58:24 PM »
Hi all.
I've been working on a few things here and there, mostly head sculpts, and I was itching to post so I figured I'd post a WIP I'm working on.

This one, UNFORTUNATELY, was too late for the Dark Lords Contest. That is what I was originally making him for.  This is one of my own design originating from my comic covers in the Fan Art section. He is Naga Raja, his bio can be found there, in Fan Art.

I'm using Fix-It Sculpt for his body details. The head is an original sculpt from Sculpey Firm in the likeness of Boris Karloff. Who better for a Dark Lord?!

I hope to have him done soon. I'll post pictures as I go.














P.S.: I'm trying really hard to improve the picture taking technique.  ;D

I have so much respect for anyone attempting sculpting, it's one peg higher than most will go, and it's so fantastic to see these WIP shots.

Your sculpting is fantastic.  I'm super impressed.  I sculpt my figures too, so I know the work that went into this.  I'm looking forward to seeing him finished, but you are already off to a killer start.

Uh Oh... Sithfire better watch out!!!

That's turning out to be a real awesome looking figure. I love the evil head too. Cant wait to see this guy finished.  As for pics, if you have a decent camera, make yourself a light box, you can google it and it isn't hard, or do like I did and take the easy way out and buy one. I went to my local Wolf's camera store and bought one. They had a couple different kind there. Once you get one, with the proper lights, it makes one heck of a difference. Keep us updated.

Charles, I am so excited to see you at work again! That head sculpt is amazing and you can put me down for one when you get going again. The chest piece you have sculpted is just awesome! Is that an old Elizabeth Swan torso you sculpted over? You have really got the fix-it figured out, I wish I could sculpt this good! The small details are so nice! Great update buddy.

Thanks everyone!

I hope to have him done soon. We'll see...

Thanks for the "FRONT PAGE" Tamer! It's a lot of fun to get on there!

Sorry to see you're taking a break OrangePeace. I just started following your customs here and on the Scum. Hope you get back in the game soon.

Hey Rich, thanks buddy! That is a sculpted head. I've got a few more I've done in the past weeks. I've got to get on the bodies for them now.

Thanks CloneHead, I'm going to try to pull a cast of that chest plate. I modeled it after a photo of Samurai armor.

Hey HangarBay I'm gonna take a shot of the tools I use soon and post em'. It's fairly easy to sculpt if you have the right stuff.

Thanks DD. Sculpting is the best part. The hardest part of doing a head , to me, is the eyes. Very difficult to work both sides proportionately.

Yep Joe, I've been wanting to build a box but haven't had the time. I want to try to do a box with a changeable floor and background. Soon it will be done.

Thanks SITH, I hope to get'r done soon!

LC_S_B thanks my friend! Love your stuff too, you're building quite a name for yourself!

Thanks LE, that torso is from a Prince of Persia figure. Don't know which one though. As soon as I'm "totally satisfied" with the Boris likeness I'm going to mold it, then cast him in Caucasian flesh color. I'll let you know when he's done.... just wait till you see the likeness of Lee Marvin I've done. Let's just say I'm extremely happy with it!


Thanks again everyone!
