I just had an orgasm.

I love the clean details.

[Tommy Allison]

That is awesome. Truly.

I wish Lilalex could see this. As you've obviously made castings of it. Was this for a company, or licensed? Lilalex on the forum will take you to task if it's not.

Greetings and welcome to the forum.

Spectacular work. Predators are the bomb, seriously, have you seen that crap they wear on their wrists ?!? BOOOOOOOOOOMMMM!!!!!!!

Amazing accuracy and detail, what materials do you generally work in ?

Hope to see more of your work

[Matte_Art]

Awesome work... about the only think I can see that could be wrong is the scale of the shoulders to the head... his head seems kind of large. Either way, your skill is definitely above mine lol!

[Briantoreilly616]

This is terrific! Very inspiring.

Thank you for your comment ill post other pieces soon.


Tommy Allison

Hi thanks for the observations, this work was just a personal study.


dark_wraith

Hi there thanks for the comments, the material i usually work with is brazilian plastiline. Ill be posting more works soon


Malakai SinClair

Thanks for the observations, and ill try to correct the shoulders size in the 1:1 model.


Briantoreilly616

Thank you Brian

[Tommy Allison]

The reason why I ask, is the one pic looks like a casting.

[rosertek]

Tommy Allison

The difference between the pictures is the camera and the lights, but every single one shows the same piece that is made of plastiline.

[Tommy Allison]

Well, I'm not trying to start a problem on this thread, but if you look at the top picture, and lighting aside, there's some bubbles in the armor which make it look like a casting.

That's why I asked.

Thanks

Rick,

Don't take offense at Tommy Allison's comments. It appears his topic of choice is casting. Keep up the good work. Showing earlier pics of the armature and clay buildup will keep some individuals from asking... questions.

[AProps]

this is one bad mother F-er of a sculpt..

great Job!!

[Tommy Allison]

Don't get me wrong I loved the sculpt. Very slick and clean.

I just thought the top pic was a casting. Please don't take offense.

[MichaelMotion]

Where I live this is called "IMPRESSIVE"

Very nice work! Seeing pieces like this, makes everybody want to sculpt I guess!

[Robert.B]

wonderful! My only crit is the span of the shoulders makes the head look a little big.

[d37hb01]

why are you pinching his nipples?

[troyboy]

Wow, that's absolutely beautiful work. Amazing job Rick, thanks for
posting all the progress pics. Those are always the most fun to look at.

[Jorge Gecov]

Hi friend! Glad to see you here!
This piece is fantastic, congrats buddy! Looks perfect to me.
Hope to see more killer stuff from you soon, hey post the kick ass werewolf you did some time ago.

For now, 5 BIG stars for you.

[pijay-brown]

[Doggy]

Damn...

[Rick Fernandes]

First of all i would like to apologize for taking so long to anwser the posts.

Tommy

The first pic looks like a csast because the light i used in the pic was a yellow one, thats why the effect wasnt good.

Siamese, AProps,Michael e Robert.B

Thank you all for the comments, Robert the shoulders werent the focus in this piece, ill correct the error in the 1:1 scale one.

d37hb01


Hey i cant let my wife see that, she is very jealous.

troyboy

Thank you Troy, i promise my works will always be like this.

George my brother, Pijay and Doggy

Thank you all for the comments

[Havensk]

Wow, this is very impressive. There's a guy workin on a predator head at my school. But its nowhere near this level of detail. Those textures are awesome. Post more stuff soon!

[Rick Fernandes]

Havensk

You can tell the student in your school to look for original images from the movies as reference.

thank you very much for your comment

Regards

Rick

HOLY SHIT!!!!

the only negative things i can say about your bust here is that the torso could generally be bigger, but when i look at the older predator before avp and all that bullshit came out, he has a ridiculously unportportionally large head, so its ok.

but i could still use some wider and bigger shoulders

[Ghostbrush]

whoah! that is really impressive! i am a big predator fan, keep up the good work.

[ebonyraven]

Amazing sculpt!

[Artastic]

You know, in some reality somewhere, Predators are real, alive and kicking, hunting like the bad ass mo-fos they are. Remember, if you can imagine it, it is possible.
Keep up the great work man. Stan Winston and Kevin Peter Hall are proud.

[hapakid88]

amazing. beautiful ad inspiring. the level of detail on this is incredible. also i love how you built it in layers (which i guess is the logical thing to do) but its givin me a new way to approach my sculpt im working on. thank you for sharing
