Demon Batman from BEGINS. Work in Progress Pics

[DAVIDYR1]

Started this yesterday...Chavant Soft oil clay as usual.
It's a work in progress..nothing is definitive at this point..not yet at least.

It's the scene in Batman Begins when Batman says to Dr. Crane..."taste of your own medicine" and gasses him...the scarecrow...and this is how he see's Batman...or at least I'm trying to get it to look like that.
**but you guys here already know the scene. ***

It's missing the teeth that once in the wearers mouth 'should' cause the mouth and jaw to protrude forward distorting it somewhat like the movie look...we'll see if it works according to plan.

Will be a wearable silicone prosthetic. First for dramatic poses for photos, then retired here on display..

Some funky lighting to see if I'm on the right track with the skin texture and stuff....Fun sculpt.

Oh and yes..the rest of the body is coming also...
Feedback or critiques always welcome.

thats really awesome David, nice to see you taking on the project

 

[Nightwing1977]

Whoa!! How on earth you're able to get much eyes on the detail, dude? Seeing the Demon version, it look so difficult to see much details with how short & not much seeing of it. Man, I need to move to your house asap.

 

[batmaluco]

Awesome stuff, Dude!
You're a very talented artist.
I know what talent really means, years of hard work and skills development.
Impressive work.

 

[Merkel]

That' looks fantastic. You got the expression just right. I can't imagine how hard that was. That mask should be scary as hell.

 

[DAVIDYR1]

Thanks guys.
It really is still pretty rough...but it's getting there.
Someone took these pics into Photoshop and added some colors and shades...kind of brings the piece to life...or at least an idea of what it'll look like when done...colors are off, but still cool!!

I'm glad you guys are liking the piece so far. With some luck you'll feel good about it when it's finally finished also.

Enjoy.
More to come...as always...

Awesome. I wish the actual cowl had been closer in shape to the demon one in some respects.

NOT all the organic details and wrinkles etc, It should still be flat and smooth, but I like that it was less built up around the face, the nose is smaller/flatter etc. In fact the whole fact it's a prosthetic - I think the real cowl could have been a very simple prosthetic.

And the merchandisers were ABSOLUTELY INSANE not to give us any merch of this version of the character. How cool would figures and statues have been?

whoa very scary David are ya just making the head?

 

[DAVIDYR1]

Thanks guys. Glad you like it so far.

Making the body...from the crotch up..gloves...and cape....all these elements are in sink with the look of this demon cowl/head.

I'm really having fun with it.....not much left to do now...more pics to come.

Do you have any reference material to go by other than the film?

 

[DAVIDYR1]

Just what I was able to find online.

[DAVIDYR1]

Just a quick update...

A bit more done. The base of the neck is charred or melted looking, so if you're wondering why the neck on the right side looks weird...it's cause I'm trying to get it to look right..

Getting there...just like everything else...getting there.

[Payle Gray]

Simply outstanding.

 

[Beelze]

Very nice, but what about the goo that kept flowing from his mouth?

 

[Van Petrol]

Very nice!

 

[Soundwave88]

"Crane who are you working for?!...who?"

I want a batsuit like that so bad! lol

 

[Borat]

That is amazing!!

 

[DAVIDYR1]

Thanks folks for the kind words!!! This is a real fun costume to be working on..and, being that it's a costume, the only way I can get the black ooz out of my mouth is if I take a swig of motor oil or something like that...so, I figure that part can be left out for now...LOL

Some of the latest ones...You can clearly see which of the two sides is still needing some work. I thought some of the dramatically shaded pics (LOL that's a funny sentence) looked cool so I just uploaded all the ones I took for now.

This will be a wearable prosthetic and there is also the chest....and in time I'll do a full suit even if we never really got one in the movie past the waist.

Enjoy!

[Logan Howlett]

Did anyone notice that in demon form he kind of looks like Adam West???

 

[Cobblepot]

Looks great David, just for fun would it be able to cast one with a mouth hole?

Well, maybe I should elaborate on what I'm doing..

This will be a wearable prosthetic.
What does that mean?

That the whole thing will be gluded to my head and face, and the mouth will be cut open...and when I talk so will it move...just as we saw in the movie...just like the Freddy Krueger make up for instance...but first we need to do a full sculpture of the character in question...then the sculpture is broken down, molded...cast up in pieces if need be and each piece glued to the body...fun...eh...pain in the arse really but once it's all on it should be pretty cool...so to answer your question...yes, mouth will be open..

[Cobblepot]

Nice, but I ment just do one more and cut out the whole chin area, to have a mean lookin mask.

 

[DAVIDYR1]

Yea, aint that the truth!!! It would make for an awesome Batman Cowl. Totally agree!!!

Started with the final details...will be cleaning this up and looking to finish him up now.

Charred neck will blend into the charred chest...

Should be a fun suit to wear.

Critiques welcome. I'll be molding this soon so anything you think I need to add or remove just speak up.

Great sculpts, nice to see the veins cropping up.

 

[thedarks0ldier]

The ears and the neck like they have egsima.
Is the mouth gonna be a prostetic?
