- I'm going to be coating this with the same
kind of foam skin that we've got the rest of the body
so it's homogenous with the rest of the finishing.
The latex doesn't really stick too well to the
sculpey, so I put a little bog cement on it
let that dry, then I coated it with the latex.
So now it's got a latex surface
and we're just going to lay in some skin.
I said very early on that you don't want to sculpt
the head too big because you want to allow
for the skin that you're going to build up.
This is the skin I was referring to.
So I soaked it, I dried it.
Now I'm going to just compress it a little bit
so it's like little zombie flesh, you can wrinkle it.
Then I'm gonna take this, and just apply it
to the character.
I'm going to, let me rip it
because a zombie's not beautiful and perfect.
I'm just gonna kind of put it here
it'll stick really well, we're gonna put it
right over the eyes.
As you can see you can flex it, you can mold it,
you can crinkle it just like skin
and you can create a rotted zombie flesh.
And you can also connect it to the jaw
so he has some connective tissue like this.
So now we've got a jaw that moves
and this I'm sure you'll do with more
design, and more care, when you guys do this.
Just to get us moving along, so we can
move on to the finishing, I'll just show you.
I don't want to add too much. I like the fact that it's
an emaciated skeletal zombie, because it's obvious
it's not going to be a man in a suit.
Again you can mold it so you can actually put teeth.
And his bottom jaw like that.
I'm going to build a little bit of a brow.
- (mumbling)
- Oh, okay thank you.
Just a little bit of a brow on both sides.
So he might not be so buggy-eyed.
And you can see how you can build up this foam
and as long as it's got latex in it,
and you've got latex on the form you're gluing it to
it'll stick to itself.
Now you've got a flexible jaw that moves and closes.
Goes up and down.
(makes creaking noises)
As far as the top of the head, well
you could get a little bit of tinfoil.
Create a brain.
Then if you wanted to you could get more skin
and put it on top.
And this way when we blow his head off
we can peel that out, put some clay in there
make the brain squishing.
Blob all over the place.
I'm going to put a little bit of latex on this
just to kind of seal it.
(hairdryer noise)
You can also color the latex.
I've taken some food coloring, put some red in here
so now we have some red latex
and I'm going to paint the brain.
(hairdryer noise)
Again when it's all stuck together
you can go back in here and start to
form the eyes, move it around.
Want him on this?
- Yeah, does that dry?
So you put rubber on everything then right?
- Yeah.
- So rubber's on that too?
- Yeah.
- Wanna pop the eyes out?
- You can pop them.
- You wanna put those eyes on there?
- Uh, on that one.
Let see, with this guy I think it takes a different size.
- Is he the smaller 632.
- [Female Voice] Do you want to start explaining about how
to get ready for painting?
