Sculpt update on the 1:18 scaled “Tropical Rainforest Cantina Creature” concept from Ron Cobb - Star Wars 1977.
The head and the body have been completed for awhile now and it’s time to work on the creatures many leafy appendages. I sculpted a single leaf, detailing both front and back (back not photographed). I kept it simple and long as the concept art entailed.
I have built a mold box for the leaf and will cast several - 8 total. Then, with the help of a heat gun and patience, will shape each casting to produce a standing structure for the torso, with a couple to be shaped as “hands”.
Very curious how all this will work out. I’ve shaped thin castings before with much success. We’ll see how it all works out.
I’m also thinking about sculpting a cantina seat/table (used in the concept art) to go along with the figure and sculpt a sitting version with more limited articulation.
More to come!.....#starwars #concept #conceptart #cantina #roncobb #rainforest #plant #sculpture #avesstudio #avesclay #smoothon #casting #plastic #heatgun #miniature #sculpting #customactionfigure
