LMAO ok so I'm adding facial hair and trying to trim up his fur before I airbrush. Now I've fluffed the fur to trim it to the same length before grooming it up. had a few people ask why not fur the whole mask, well because I've added some of the detailing, thats why. it's more of what I had an idea of doing from the beginning two years ago but encouraged by what we saw on the Mandalorian.

wont hear from me for a bit, moving states and trying to get my life back together after a not-divorce.

did want to share this.... so before u left wanted to use up my silicone so its well... truly less to move and as it's winter where i am i worry the temperatures will mess with the material that IS sensitive to that.

ok so top two pics is a failed Zeb and a working T'Pal. the first half of the foam silicone moved so my face would have had my nose at Zeb's chin. I am keeping it for a teaching tool for Cons that I go to, T'pal as you see i altered, truly it did turn out pretty good but how the expanding silicone is, wasn't 100% what i wanted. so.... T'pal it is. I will actually add more fur to him as I'm unhappy with the coloring and shading. guy deserves SO much more.

however re-casted Zeb's head, the foam silicone taking properly this time. i added some flocking to his ears and stripes, actual punching of fur will help with defining and making the stripes smoother and more defined. I love punching... punching being defined as using a tool to push natural hair/fur into silicone/latex prosthetics. I will be using this with Zeb's final process....making him the fury Lasat he should be from head, to arms.... to feet. and yes... oh Karabast I will be redoing and casting the feet so they're looking WAY better!
