Alien Teeth...from a true amature

[MartySmith]

I bought this Alien Head kit on ebay a few years back. I hated the teeth it came with, as a fan I noticed they were no where near the original design. I attempted to correct this and the following "sculpt" was the result. I hope to get better guys, any help or advice would be much appreciated.

Oh! Yeah I also did this back a few years ago, my first SERIOUS attempt at sculpture.

Which alien is this? Is it suppose to be a kit for the human/Alien hybrid thing from the 4th movie?

its the kit from the first one if you look under the dome on aliens head it has a human-esque skull

You know your aliens Sculptingmonsters.
This is a casting from the refurbished molds used by Sideshow replicas for their alien head bust.. The teeth are obviously replacements and im just trying to make it look a bit more like the original. The teeth have been molded, cast, and attached to the skull by the way. Would you like some pics???

[sculptingmonsters610]

of course i would

Coming right up. I molded these on the head so the fit of the casting was pretty good though some epoxy was needed to mount them and fill the gaps. I was using really soft crappy clay so alot of the finishing work was done on the hard, resin cast. I must say they came out better than expected given my lack of experience (never made a mold before). Thanks for the interest and gimme a couple mins to put up these pics.

Ok here's some pregressive pics with the last two being pretty much the finished product. Almost ready for paint.....of course theres that lower jaw I might be able to improve on...Hmmmm

errr the first alien never had eyes or anything, this looks like the resurrection one...

No - it is the one from the first film. There's a pic in the one Giger book I don't have to hand right now (:( :P) of the alien head under-construction and there is definitely a skull under the translucent bit :)

youre welcome and the raptor foot is amazing

Thanks sculptingmonsters610. Those are some way early pics where I was still experimenting with scales and texture. Sadly there werent many pics of that project. The finished piece didnt survive the molding process....silicone didnt cure properly.

Heres a view of the Sideshow head. You can see the skull just under the dome, which was opaque-gray in the movie

[MartySmith]

Its cast from a real one but no, its plaster or something.
