Dr. Galen, Planet of the Apes

[jessica]

It's been WEEKS since I have done anything custom related for myself, so I thought I would treat myself to a quickie sculpt of Dr. Galen. I started with a Mego and sculpted features on top of that.

This is what I started with:

This is how he progressed:




He is now "curing" since I worked Apoxie on him. I tried sculpey baking clay, but the magic was not there...and admittedly, I was too lazy to go downstairs and toast him up in the toaster oven.

Hope he looks really menacing when I am done painting him up.

[The Bat]

Wow...that's impressive! Nice Job!!

[censy]

Great sculpting job Jessica. I can't wait to see him finished and starring in his own operating room photo shoot.

wow... I'm very impressed.

[SUP-Ronin]

Coming along very nicely with his very own custom ape appliances.

Very nice sculpt work. I believe Sculpey can be boiled also. Might make working with an original head a bit easier than the oven.

He looks great,nice job

[Captain]

Nice Work!

Looks like one of those John Chambers retrospects you see on the POTA DVD. I'm sure he'll look great when hes painted!

[txteach]

Very good job. Looks like how we reconstructed faces from skulls in anthropology class years ago.

He needs more work and a new set of duds, but yes, as soon as I am able to, I would like to dust off those operating tables and do a nice photo shoot.

Wow! Girlfriend wasn't satisfied w/ a garden variety Mego ape, she had to design HER OWN!! You go girl!

[jessica]

I added more hair to his head and I used a basting pin for the lines.


He's also drying on a rack while the rest of his fur cures. I used a blunt pencil to create the fur strokes of his arms.

Hey Jess
Thats is kinda funny. You used an AJ head as a base for your excellant sculpt. In a way your kinda giving AJ the Capt. Action treatment. Could you think it if mego had gone that route?
