Sculpt progress on the Egg Layer Xenomorph. Aliens: Defiance (Dark Horse Comics). 1:18 scale.

Been a crazy couple weeks with the Holidays ramping up and office work to be completed...but things are slowly getting back to normal and I finally had some time to complete one of the hands to the Egglayer Xenomorph.

I haven't sculpted many hands so it's a fun challenge and allows me to accumulate some teachable moments through trial and error. What doesn't kill you will make you stronger right?

Elongated fingers are creepy so I may have slightly drifted from the comic reference material a tad but I think it will add to the finished figure. Sculpted using Aves FIXIT sculpt, I have included a before and after shot for those interested, as well as a scale shot for the curious.

I will sculpt the second hand in the same dynamic fashion along with a neutral set of hands similar to the smaller Big Chap I did a few years back.

May be my last update for the new year? Not sure. Anyway, thank you all for your continued support! I hope to bring much more to the custom hobby next year. 2019 was a struggle to get things moving but I battled through it.

I hope all of you are enjoying holiday festivities and have a wonderful New Year 2020!!!!

Hope you enjoyed the update! Talk soon! More to come!!!

Sculpt update on the "Egg Layer" Xenomorph - Aliens: Defiance. 1:18 scale. Based on the artwork by T-Rex Jones (Tristan Jones) for Dark Horse Comics.

I've never been happy with my head sculpt of the creature...it's always been a little off from the art Tristan created. The other day, I reworked the head sculpt once more, adding a thicker, longer jaw bone, adding some meat to the cranium and shortening the winged flaps on both sides of the frontal section. I also pushed the jaw back a bot giving the creature a slight overbite.

Much happier with the look now and should be even happier once the tendons surrounding the mouth are sculpted in.

Shaped the wire for the new hand...already began the sculpt of the fingers which will be updated soon.

I've brought down another piece to the workbench...it's been awhile and hope to get some new sculpt progress made soon. #spacejockey

Thanks for looking!! More to come!

Began filling the detail to the back "pipes" of the beast. I've also begun the sculpt of the creature's hands which will be very similar to the Giger Alien hands but larger. The rough sculpt right now resemble Bugs Bunny gloves and not that of the nightmarish xenomorph but no worries, that will all change....just how I work.

Hope you enjoyed the updates!!! Trying to get an update knocked out each week. If not, every other week for sure with updates in between.

Questions are welcome! Thanks again!

Sculpt update on the Egg Morpher - ALIENS: Definance (Dark Horse Comics) - 1:18 scale.

Sculpting hands. Little bits at a time. Small scale, heavy detail. The hands will resemble those of the Big Chap (Alien 79) but are larger and and less elegant as the Giger version. Using Aves FIXIT.

Sculpt updates will continue to trickle in this week as I make progress on multiple projects. Stay tuned...

Sculpt update on the Eggmorpher Xenomorph - Alien: Defiance - 1:18 scale.

Frame created for the new hand I will be sculpting this week. Smaller hand with longer fingers. Longer fingers always seems more creepy and simulates or shares the same anatomy of the face hugger itself.

Also working on finishing the back "pipeing" for the creature. Showing the detail along with the weathering before and after. Will soften some of the harder details before molding the finished pieces.

Mini update for the the work week :) More to come soon!

Sculpt update on the Praetorian "Egg Morpher" Xeno from ALIENS: Defiance (Dark Horse Comics) - 1:18 scale. Sculpting the Big Chap body (ALIEN 79) once again but in a larger scale - some of the details completed to the back making room for the piping coming up soon. The rib cage will be the next step in completing the upper body. Building up the lower torso as well.

Artist Tristan Jones, the creator of this particular beast, just completed a commission piece of the Praetorian...wow <3 Makes me think about going back and sculpting those teeth again. The smaller teeth looks soooo creepy....gotta do it. Beautiful work Tristan!

Have a long weekend coming up with plenty of sculpt time. More to come! #alien #aliens #defiance #darkhorsecomics #praetorian #eggmorpher #xenomorph #hive #sculpture #miniature #avesstudio #avesfixitsculpt
