Here are two small thumbnails on the planned layout / composition of my Giger tribute piece. Still undecided as to which layout I prefer -

Here are some closeups of a work in progress sculpt in zbrush. The final piece will be dedicated to master Giger.

Here is the completed bust of my latest attempt at sculpting with clay.

Progressing in my sculpting studies, this time with an oil based clay called NSP by Chavant. The workflow is rather different to water based clay, theres much more prep work involved and less fluidity in the sculpting progress, due to the fact it is a lot harder to adjust and shape forms with your fingers once the clay begins to harden. But the ability to carve and sculpt forms and details is unmatched to water based clay.

Here are 2 wip shots, primary and secondary forms and details are all done, just need to touch up with fine tertiary details and smooth things out a bit.

Practising with water based clay. 2nd attempt. Aim was to get some forms going, wasn’t really focused on the design and proportions at this stage, still trying to understand how clay works.
