Human Skull - 1:8th scale

Lately I've been really cranking hard on a sculpture commission, and while most of it is still in various states of "what the fuck is that supposed to be?"-ness, this human skull portion of it is totally finished so I thought I'd share it.

The pictures really don't do it much justice because I really busted my ass to try and add as much detail as I could, but still leave the thing in a state where it could be easily molded and cast in resin. It was a quite interesting process of editing and reworking the anatomy to make it still look accurate, but at the same time eliminate all of the undercuts and openings that would make casting it a total bitch. Also this was really my first try at working in 1/8th scale (I'm used to 1/6th) and I was rather surprised that it wasn't too much of an ordeal to make the transition to the smaller size, and I really didn't have to sacrifice any detail. Hell I even got the cranial sutures in there!

I’ll share more of the full sculpture, which this skull is just a small part of, as the entire piece gets closer to being done… which should be quite soon.

Thanks for looking guys!
