This is an awesome project, loved your Diablo III sculpt as well. Definitely do it as a tutorial, I'd love to see the method to the awesomeness!

I think I'll do as much of this sculpt as a tutorial, a combination of video and blogging, over at Make magazine (makezine.com)... trying to figure this out now!

Re: Latest sculpt: Bug from Micronauts

Caesius — Thu, 30 Sep 2010 21:19:41 -0000

Fantastic sculpture. I was just revisiting my youth by browsing under Micronauts when i came upon this. Best issues featuring Bug were #'s 19 & 20 (according to a search I did just now). I remember the inspired* art of Pat Broderick, where they encounter a guy named Odd John.
*(and seldom seen outside of covers, if I remember right)
Again, I really like what you're doing here. Thanks for sharing the process.

Re: Making a silicone mold of gauze…. FAIL

Jason Babler — Fri, 12 Feb 2010 00:22:18 -0000

Hey Chris! That is a great idea, it would allow me to make another mold of it if I do like the effect. Thanks for the tip.

I used to work for Mindfuse Games, but I just started a small iPhone development company called Frozen Giant.

Thanks for the feedback!

Re: Making a silicone mold of gauze…. FAIL

Chris — Thu, 11 Feb 2010 23:02:17 -0000

Hi, Jason,

Why didn't you brush some epoxy on the piece of fabric, similar to fiberglass and then wrap it around the head after your waste mold was made, as that way you would have a perfect head in case the look was not what you wanted. Then with re: to the fabric detail, which would be hardened, it would have the desired effect of fabric, but not be porous. Just a suggestion.

Keep up the great sculpting. Can I ask what game studio you work for? Hope you are working on a fun project at the day job and looking forward to more of your after work adventures in sculpting.

Cheers-
Chris
