THRILLING isn't the word to describe what I'm feeling right now after receiving these pictures from Jean-Pierre Jeunet this morning of my Newborn (Alien: Resurrection) head sculpt on display along with various other miniatures made by fellow artists, Kazuhito Kimura, Dominique Roche and the director himself, Jean-Pierre Jeunet!

So happy and thankful once again for the opportunity to contribute to a beautiful display full of brilliant work. I'm honored to be part of it!

If you're visiting Lyon, France before May 19, 2019, be sure to take some time to check out the Caro/Jeunet exhibit at the Musée Miniature et Cinéma and say hello to my little guy. He may be a little homesick but he's in good company

A shot showing more of the sculpted detail of the Newborn's tongue. Will be setting up molds for the completed head variants this week. If I can, I will record the process and release another video in the near future. :)

Sculpt update on The Newborn. Alien: Resurrection - 1:18 scale.

The many faces of the "butterfly".

Got some patching to do then each of these will have molds made.

I still have one more version to do before I return to sculpting the limbs. I want to do a "birth" version of the head turned up which will require a redo of the cranium sculpt, including neck and shoulders.

I have a build itch that's needing to be scratched so expect a return to the Nostromo build soon.

Had a muscle injury to deal with that put me out over the past week or so but back at it! More to come!!!

Sculpt progress on the Alien Newborn - Alien: Resurrection - 1:18 scale. Sculpt using Aves FIXIT sculpt from Aves Studio.

This week I worked on the body of the creature, namely the arms (upper and lower) as well as the hips and upper legs.

Plenty of adjustments to be made to the muscular folds and definition through the hips/pelvis. Happy with the proportion of the elongated arms vs. the length of the torso.

Going to work on the hips some more but begin working on the hands and add more definition to the lower arms.

Thanks for taking time to check out my progress! #alien #alienresurrection #newbornalien #sculpting #art #monsters #customactionfigure #miniature #nostromo

Sculpt update on the Queen. ALIENS (86) - 1:18 scale. Work in progress.

Began sculpting the teeth. More precise, the maxillary teeth (upper jaw). First I built the upper maxilla that will fit separately in the head, marking each point where the teeth will be inserted. What I love about FIXIT is that during it's final hour of curing, you can carefully shape pieces to fit other parts of the sculpt without it permanently attaching or curing to that particular part. Example, the maxilla which I shaped to fit the roof of the mouth. This will help in molding and replication later.

Next was to sculpt each tooth, two at a time, one on either side. Once fully cured, I carve the teeth into shape using dental tools, giving them the appearance of settling into the gum line of the maxilla. So this process of sculpting, curing, carving took a good week to complete.

While that was going on I sculpting more detail to the head, This version will feature the lips fully extended, mouth fully drawn taut. I intend to do another version of the head having the mouth partially closed and relaxed.

Still refining the teeth. I need to fill in some spots and reduce others. Then I will add gum tissue around each tooth. This piece will later be cast in clear resin so I may have the teeth appear to be translucent.

More to come!! Will begin working on the lower jaw soon then back to other projects that deserve some attention.

Sculpt progress on the Newborn. Alien: Resurrection - 1:18 scale.

With the sculpt of the ALIENS(86) Queen in progress, I thought it would be fun to match her up with her future offspring thanks to Ripley 8 (going to have to be a fan to know what I'm talking about) and get a look at the scale. Once the lower jaw of the Queen is complete I will get a better idea but so far I think both scale pretty well with one another and enhances my hopes to one day have a Resurrection diorama featuring the "Birth of the Newborn". Till then, both stands on their own and both have a ton of work to have down before that road is crossed.

This update focuses in on the Newborn and it's open mouth variant I'm working on. My previous update featured the jaw wired into place. This week I'm sculpting in the gaps and detailing the optional tongue that will be held by a magnet.

From some of the early production images, the tongue appeared to have "buds" over its surface...possibly glads for smell and taste. A trait from Ripley's side of the family for sure. So I'm taking a blank tongue I formed using Aves FIXIT sculpt and detailing it with small portions of additional FIXIT forming the buds. The entire surface isn't covered in these glads so I need to pay attention as to not overdo the surface with these things LOL!

I know the Newborn doesn't get a ton of love from the Alien community but I must admit, it's been one of my more enjoyable projects over the past year or so...and I think it's because of the fusion between the human and the xenomorph. You get to work with a little of both when sculpting this guy....at least I don't have to sculpt a TAIL! LOL! That Queen though...the tail will be a major project in itself.

Hope you enjoyed the update. Any questions, let me know. Everything you see has been hand sculpted using Aves FIXIT Sculpt - a two-part epoxy that can be found here

Molding several mods of the Newborn head/torso sculpt (Alien: Resurrection).

I initially wanted to shoot some video of the process but the ten-dollar tripod I purchased from Amazon broke and went sailing across the room so that's not going to happen. Ah well, you get what you paid for LOL! I'll try again later - got a bunch more molds to make here soon.

I still wanted to document the process so I took several pictures. Hope these will help without much explanation. I'm using Smooth On Mold Star 320 SLOW - A platinum silicone.

From some of the early production images, the tongue appeared to have "buds" over its surface...possibly glads for smell and taste. A trait from Ripley's side of the family for sure. So I'm taking a blank tongue I formed using Aves FIXIT sculpt and detailing it with small portions of additional FIXIT forming the buds. The entire surface isn't covered in these glads so I need to pay attention as to not overdo the surface with these things LOL!

I know the Newborn doesn't get a ton of love from the Alien community but I must admit, it's been one of my more enjoyable projects over the past year or so...and I think it's because of the fusion between the human and the xenomorph. You get to work with a little of both when sculpting this guy....at least I don't have to sculpt a TAIL! LOL! That Queen though...the tail will be a major project in itself.

Hope you enjoyed the update. Any questions, let me know. Everything you see has been hand sculpted using Aves FIXIT Sculpt - a two-part epoxy that can be found here

Sculpt update on the Queen. ALIENS (86) - 1:18 scale. Work in progress.

Began sculpting the teeth. More precise, the maxillary teeth (upper jaw). First I built the upper maxilla that will fit separately in the head, marking each point where the teeth will be inserted. What I love about FIXIT is that during it's final hour of curing, you can carefully shape pieces to fit other parts of the sculpt without it permanently attaching or curing to that particular part. Example, the maxilla which I shaped to fit the roof of the mouth. This will help in molding and replication later.

Next was to sculpt each tooth, two at a time, one on either side. Once fully cured, I carve the teeth into shape using dental tools, giving them the appearance of settling into the gum line of the maxilla. So this process of sculpting, curing, carving took a good week to complete.

While that was going on I sculpting more detail to the head, This version will feature the lips fully extended, mouth fully drawn taut. I intend to do another version of the head having the mouth partially closed and relaxed.

Still refining the teeth. I need to fill in some spots and reduce others. Then I will add gum tissue around each tooth. This piece will later be cast in clear resin so I may have the teeth appear to be translucent.

More to come!! Will begin working on the lower jaw soon then back to other projects that deserve some attention.

Molding several mods of the Newborn head/torso sculpt (Alien: Resurrection).

I initially wanted to shoot some video of the process but the ten-dollar tripod I purchased from Amazon broke and went sailing across the room so that's not going to happen. Ah well, you get what you paid for LOL! I'll try again later - got a bunch more molds to make here soon.

I still wanted to document the process so I took several pictures. Hope these will help without much explanation. I'm using Smooth On Mold Star 320 SLOW - A platinum silicone.

Sculpting update on her highness, The Queen - ALIENS - 1:18 scale.

Sculpted the head (not the carapace "crown") of the beast over the July 4th holiday and made adjustments during the week. Working on solving the articulation question and I'm thinking a double ball socket may be the way to go. That or a magnet...not sure yet.

Next challenge will be the teeth. Good God that will be a job. Will have to sculpt the set separately so I can cast them later in clear resin.

Later I'd like to sculpt a version of the head that is tucked up into the carapace "crown".

Long term #goals...

- Fully sculpted, articulated Queen

- Nested Queen with egg sack

- AvP battle damaged Queen

More to come!!!

Sculpt progress on the Newborn. Alien: Resurrection - 1:18 scale.

With the sculpt of the ALIENS(86) Queen in progress, I thought it would be fun to match her up with her future offspring thanks to Ripley 8 (going to have to be a fan to know what I'm talking about) and get a look at the scale. Once the lower jaw of the Queen is complete I will get a better idea but so far I think both scale pretty well with one another and enhances my hopes to one day have a Resurrection diorama featuring the "Birth of the Newborn". Till then, both stands on their own and both have a ton of work to have down before that road is crossed.

Sculpt progress on the Alien Newborn - Alien: Resurrection - 1:18 scale. Sculpt using Aves FIXIT sculpt from Aves Studio.

This week I worked on the body of the creature, namely the arms (upper and lower) as well as the hips and upper legs.

Plenty of adjustments to be made to the muscular folds and definition through the hips/pelvis. Happy with the proportion of the elongated arms vs. the length of the torso.

Going to work on the hips some more but begin working on the hands and add more definition to the lower arms.

Thanks for taking time to check out my progress! #alien #alienresurrection #newbornalien #sculpting #art #monsters #customactionfigure #miniature #nostromo
