I really like the jaxxon head sculpt, Amazing work on the others as well
Thanks for more good info Tamer. Ghostskull18 thank you as well. Once I check out the info provided by Tamer and others I'll make some resin casts and at that point I'll clean them up; I'm really happy with how Jaxxon turned out but the sculpt looks a pit rough to me and could use some smoothing; unfortunately the wax I'm working with doesn't really allow that...I can smooth out figures like Tawss Khaa and Zim with no problem but when it comes to Jaxxon, due to the furry nature of the character, if I were to smooth out the wax sculpt I would sacrifice detail so like I said I can't wait to make a resin cast; perfect it and then make a new master mold out of that. There is another wax I could use that is basically candle wax (in fact if I go that route I would just use unscented candle wax) but it's more involved and requires a little more skill as you're constantly heating/melting the wax to make it more workable. I think I may start experimenting with it though and use this Zim mock up as my trial and error and use that type of wax to fix some imperfections and to make his teeth and gum line more defined. As always I'll be sure to post pics.
On a side note thanks to everyone for the kind words and to the admins for putting my work on the front page; I've been coming here for a few years and have always been amazed at the level of craftsmanship displayed by so many fellow customizers and have used that to inspire me to try more so it's a huge honor to see me work on the front page alongside the work of those whose work I've always admired and I am humbled by it and just hope that my work can be an inspiration to others like so many of the memebers work has been an inspiration to me. So thrilled to finally be a part of this wonderful and great community!
