The log is called DragonHead Case... so i would imagine that this is a computer case, and like many logs, the case is finished before the computer is put in I personally think this is amazing, and i cant wait to see this finished or at least conceptual sketches so we can see where your going with this...
This would be the creation of the blank that you take a mould off. You then use the mould to make the shape out of a thin layer of fibreglass instead of being solid. Well that's my understanding of this situation anyway.
1: the pc will be fit into the head when this is done .. 2: sketches? yeah that would be nice but i dont have any this is done from the top of the head and creation comes as i work . , i started with styrofoam and i put putty on that and after that i put fiberglass to make it really solid after that the styrofoam is removed "melted" and wat is left, yeah thats right the fiberglass case
ok small update .. some peoples asked about where will the actual computer be? and this is where .. i have melted the styrofoam and put some extra fiberglass inside the skull and this is where the pc will be at the end "its not done yet".. now im all done with the scales .. some small details to go .. right now i put a extra layer of polyester to it .. a closeup to see how it actually looks .. this is how it looks all over where the scales is .. kinda hard to see at the pics the whole upperjaw and a small bow over the eyes and some of the lowerjaw is filled with scales .. "i hate scales" looks sweet tho both sides are done .. and right now im putting soem time in to the nose part .. should be looking something like a nail ..
I wouldn't even waste my time putting a PC in that thing, make it so you can wear that thing around! Halloween will be here before you know it! LOL
This is looking sweet, You have some great talent. Just cutting it without any sort of guide or anything. Great work
small update .. will be painting the dragonhead some today .. cause i have problems with seing what needs to be redone or remake or added when its in theese colors.. the "nose" part .. been putting 6 layers of polyester to get the nail like finnish .. some other that shall be painted . will be putting 1 layer white on it then i need to hand paint it with a brush .. . and here it is half white , half see thru. this part is the oen i will be trying out first got some black/grey but that will make it look to much like a stone .. now im starting to get lost .. i realy dunno what i think of this .. its a mix of mahogny/black/red so it gets somekind of red dark color but cause of the brush it looks old please give an opinion some bigger pics if you wanna se it more close http://www.customengraver.se/bigimages/DSC_6812.JPG http://www.customengraver.se/bigimages/DSC_6813.JPG http://www.customengraver.se/bigimages/DSC_6814.JPG not done but on its way ..
Awsome work again GoTaLL!! First the zombie dude and now this!! What do u have in mind for the eyes? Some leds or just cool painwork?!
im thinking of making eyes in polyester .. you are able to make deep redbrown eyes of that .. then maybe some soft leds behind that
oki small update .. this took a while .. i tried to find a colortheme that i liked but damn its hard .. so i think this one is the one to go for . or something like it .. i made it red like before and i thoght that was ok on the scales but when it came to the head i didnt like it .. after a break i was back checking and no no that didnt do it for me .. so i started again thsi si how it looks now .. the red version after a while its red as a start color and then some brushing with a earth green/brown color and i think it looks sweet .. ok as you see on the pic above some parts are still to red and i will flatten thoose to the same colors as the scales but a bit darker .. its not as bright as this looks at the pic .. its teh same color as the above pic with the red parts still on .. will take some nocer pics and you will have something to look at later ...
ok small update .. but its not done yet .. just had to try some.. well im still paintng but i need to show the progress.. this is kinda fun dunno why the kids stopped running thru the back door.. http://www.customengraver.se/bigimages/gap.JPG
