What I did last week for this beast...
So some comments...That is apoxysculpt being used (greenstuff only on some of the inner joints). Apoxysculpt is cheaper, and hardens ..well...harder, so better to sand, and drill, etc. DId I mention it\'s cheaper?
it\'s also non toxic. (yes, kneadite aka \"green stuff\" is toxic)
The frill on the head needs sanding down to make it smoother, but the surface, which has 2 rips in it, are on purpose...want to make it appear to have been in some battles, and have had the thinner flesh torn. I will also be adding horns and scales to it, so that should hide some flaws in a later stage.
THe neck to the body - same deal, very rough and crappy right now but hopefully will look better once final body is done, and then start adding bone horns and scales. SCales will be done via brown stuff probably added last. So put a flat piece of it on the torso, then using a sculpting tool or dentist tool, carve around it to make the scale pattern. Either way, that should hide some flaws. THe underside still needs better texturing which is my error so not sure what to do, but i may just add a very thin layer of apoxysculpt and put lines it in via the dentist tool.
The arm also needs to be a bit smoother in parts via sanding, but again, some scales/horns to be added, which will help the look.
This weekend also did measurements for the actual weapon to go on it\'s back. THe wires have been cut and are the right length. THe actual weapon is basically ready but I have alot more work to do for it. Estimate time to completion, I\'m hoping sometime mid august, but could be late august as well.
Any experienced sculptors...any help (or prayers) would be appreciated. THis is my first sculpture attempt.
Regards,
Sanjay
