Michael Myers "THE BOOGEYMAN '78" Headsculpt WIP Halloween 1978(NEW PICS ON P.6 & 7)

Hey guys, just thought I'd share some WIP pics of my 3rd ever attempt at sculpting - a 1/6 scale 1978 Michael Myers mask.
This headsculpt is based on the NAG H78 replica Myers mask.
I call this "The Boogeyman '78".

This is where the sculpt is as of right now -

STAGE 2 -

So yeah, if you have any comments or suggestions, please let me know.
Thanks.

It's looking good so far, one thing you should do to make the sculpt symmetrical is looking at it through a mirror, once you do that you'll see what you need to fix.

Also the inner ear shapes are normally " Y " like shape, instead of " (c ". Don;t really know how to explain, but look closely:

I'm a newb at this also, but I hope I helped

Since I got a little free time, I did this photoshop thingie to illustrate. I hope it's clearer now.

But I'm not quite sure yet.

Re: Halloween 1978 WIP Michael Myers Headsculpt

OK, update time.
Today, after actually finding some good reference material, I compared it to my sculpt and realized my 1st attempt at Michael Myers wasnt actually too bad.
It obviously needed a LOT of work but judging from the reference I found, I could see it had potential.
So, I decided to put in a few hours work trying to get it more accurate.
Here it is -

Size comparison shots with the Hot Toys True Type Slim headsculpt -

Much better, right?
Keep in mind that I only worked on the main area of the face, like the the eyes, eyebrows, nose, cheeks, mouth, chin, and jaw.
I know its still not 100% accurate but dont worry, Im still working on it.
I'd say Im about 50-75% complete at the moment but that all depends on what I decide to alter.
For instance I may completely re-do the eyes again.
I would appreciate any comments/critique on this, guys.
Thanks.

Thanks TFG!

If you are going with just a sculpt you could use Seb's link to a hair tutorial on here and do a piece by piece with the super glue like he does only with fur.

I'm doing a pull over and going a different route to secure the fur into the mask, it's gonna be a trial and error sort of deal until I get there so I don't have many details on it just yet.

OK, cool.
I'll be sure to check that out.
Not quite sure what you mean by a pull over though.
Are you talking about an actual mask that fits over a headscuplt?
That would be awesome if you can pull it off!

You'll do fine, it's not really hard or rocket scientist by any means, I have some tutorials online that I can point you out to whenever the time comes, just give me a holler. There's also some tips to using the mold, pouring, etc...

Yea for the mask part it's gonna be a different type of animal to tackle but at the same time that's what makes it an exciting project for myself as well.

Thanks man, I appreciate that.
I'll be sure to drop you a PM or something when the time comes.
And yeah, its all about the challenge of something new.
Its always exciting to take on something that seems hard to tackle.
I was scared to make my 1st headsculpt because I thought I would suck...but it ended up being fine, and now im addicted!
Its always good to just jump in and have a go.
Good luck with it bro.

Front comparison to NAG 78 replica mask -

Side comparison to NAG 78 replica mask -

This is the result of at least 8 more hours of tweaking and adjusting.
I think its definitely getting there, but I still need to adjust a LOT more too...especially the bottom area of the nose.
I wanna get the whole thing as close as possible to my reference pics.
Theres a long way to go, but I'll get there.
Any thoughts?
