President of the Assembly, Planet of the Apes

Blast from the past...

Dr. Honorious from a year ago. I reworked his muzzle because I really hated it...and then I figured I had improved and to try him again...so the grey one to the right is how I resculpted him. He's got a Dr. Zaius vibe so I don't know what went wrong. I think it's the hair but I'll rework it before I cure it.


This is the ugly guy under the makeup because I was too frustrated trying to sculpt it from scratch.

I am constantly in awe of the work you do.

Them's some mad sculpting skillz!

That Dr Honarius sculpt is really really great! I think it's a good likeness. Those Oran-utans seem to go for fringes (do you guys call em 'bangs'?) in their hair. Zauis' is combed straight down, while the reference shot that you have of Honarius shows his swept to one side, like your sculpt.
Fantastic work!

Thanks guys. Still not happy with the hair, but I will look at it again tomorrow with fresh eyes.

Are you going to wear this stuff yourself, or did you find a partner in crime to wear it while you're chimped out?

My partner in crime is unfortunately too far geographically for me to visit...I have yet to meet him but we talk on occasion. Perhaps there are other apes who would like to experience being under the goo, and if they are able and willing more power to them. I still have yet to find someone in my neighborhood to costume with. Until then, this appliance awaits them. Too bad my husband cannot be convinced to go under the goo.

I have found a really tall costumer who wants to be Dr. Zaius. He's got the body type but is too tall in height. I know he can recreate the costume as he is the costume designer for the Retro Dome. I can easily make him an appliance if necessary.

I have massaged Dr. H's hairline. I think it looks better. Wondering if I should add more fluff to his eyebrows.


I also tried to work on my favorite Prefect, but I wasn't feeling him...


So I ended up with this guy instead, Dr. M. I think his hairline is going to be a nightmare, but I need to push on and keep trying. He's still very rough at this stage...trying to get that perfect scowl. You know how that goes...

Tadah!!

[Chris]

Please tell me you are selling these.

[HardyGirl]

I've said it before and I'll say it again, I hate you! Just teasing, ape-tastic work, as usual, Jess.

I am on orangutan roll! I think I will have all the major players covered, so I can have my Planet of the Apes nativity scene just in time for the holidays!

Will the newborn be ape or human?
.....and will it say 'Mama!'

It's the Planet of the Apes! No humans in the nativity scene!!

Anyway, newborns can't speak!

Jessica, just simply brilliant as always. Very tops.
