Beginning of the Winter Snowy Owl Queen. Life cast of Nora Vega, done. She loved it, said it felt like a spa day. Gotta clean up the edges, fill in some of the holes, then begin the sculpting.

Ok, most voted for character is...............

Human hybrid winter snowy owl

Ok, starting December 1st, I will begin the creation process. I did say I would complete the look in 30 days, however, its Christmas so I may extend it a couple of weeks.

Here we go..... (yay!)

Ok everyone here are the 3 choices. Please let me know in the comment section.

* Mystique mid shift
* Death becomes her - hole in stomach
* Human / Winter snow owl hybrid

Challenge time!!!

Looking for everyone here to give suggestions for my next look challenge!!

Leave your suggestions in the comments below.

Most comments will have a poll vote & we can decide a date for completion. When I was in school, we had 4 weeks to complete a look from beginning to end. With me working full time now, I have decided to keep that time line. But let's start with ideas first....

And go..........

Bride of Frankenstein from beginning to end

Turned my daughter-in-law into the Bride of Frankenstein with a bun in the oven for Halloween last night. Was trying to revisit a look I did for a class final from a few years ago. I'm so much happier on the look this time, though I still feel I missed a few things due to rushing myself through to finish so we could go trick or treating. Always keep practicing!!

Update on the casting of the mold. 1st piece came out underfoamed, a bit thin with no plush to the cheek areas, but lesson learned. 2nd came out a bit shy, missing some foam latex, around the edges. Last one is absolutely perfect! Gonna run a couple more before sculpting a new idea on a head cast. Would like the next one to be another realistic facial change. Once that's done & a few prosthetics have been made, I will begin some creature features :) with my model Jaydens' head & hands cast.

Latest creation, sculpted & mold done. Tomorrow, run the foam latex. So happy with this mold

Current project for my client, next will be facial alterations out of foam latex
