5/29 Sculpt Update on the Ron Cobb Tropical Rainforest (Revwien) cantina creature concept for Star Wars: A New Hope. 1:18 scale.
I only have a single reference point when it comes to the concept drawing. I doubt Ron Cobb did any more studies of the creature unless they are in the archives. I've gathered ideas from other artists' interpretations as well as variants of the species shown in the EU. Primarily though, I'm sticking to the original concept drawing.
The head started out by using a plastic casting of the head sculpt I made for my KOTOR custom Revwien figure (see prior updates). I removed all the details from the cast and whittled it down to where it was a meager little mushroom. From there I used it as a frame to sculpt over.
Those small markings going around the neck of the sculpt are drill markers for wire. The wire will support the finer details I have to add. I have no idea how I'm going to cast this sculpt when complete but I'll figure it out.
Hope you enjoy the update. More to come. Working a bit on the projects this weekend so I'll have some work to share soon. Hope those that attended Star Wars Celebration had a great time!
