Original Creature Bust

[Silesky]

Hello, approximately nine months ago I posted this bust on its early stages, I couldn't find the original thread so I decided to make a new one.
I had a LOT of troubles with the molding and the casting but after quite a while of repairing its practically finished. Here some of the process.

That turned out fantastic mate.

The detail is incredible!!

Thank you! I'm glad you like it, all of it was an experiment, it was my first sculpture.

Turned out great, interesting choice of resin..

[Silesky]

I wanted to get some subsurface scattering under the paint, that's why I casted it on translucent red resin

[Silesky]

The final paint job, just a subtle tweak around the base and a bit of glossy varnish, a clear coat to protect the paint from chipping off and staining with dust, and to give the skin a bit of specularity.

Man, that is just incredible, very creepy creature, so hard to come up with an original that is good like yours!!
