Demon Batman from BEGINS. Work in Progress Pics

[DAVIDYR1]

Happy to say this one is done.

The entire thing is going to be a prosthetic. Not just the mouth...everything.

Here are a few finished sculpt pics...

This one is with the camera flash and really close..

Now the torso needs to wind down also...I'll have a few of those up shortly as well.

Thanks again everyone for taking the time to leave a response! I really appreciate all the feedback!

Thanks buddy!! I'm happy you like it!

A friend of mine just did a quick PS job on one of my pics. This is actually really close to what the screen used make up looked like color wise.

Body pics coming very soon.

I love this. Its disgusting, especially the neck. Great work man, I like this one more then the movie one, probably because I can see some of the detail you put into it. Great work David, as always, you kick butt.

Does it all move with your face?

 

[DAVIDYR1]

Does it all move with your face?

When the whole thing is done I will post pics of me wearing it and moving my mouth and face...It 'should' be cool...fingers crossed!!!!!!

Ok here's the torso!!

AND I KNOW YOU GUYS HERE ARE ALL PURISTS AND MOVIE ACCURACY RULES BUT....I did a totally custom body for this.

We dont really see the body of the DemonBat, and quite honestly I really wanted something 'dramatic'...something with more umph! than what Bale was wearing but again...we never saw it anyhow so going custom here should be cool....I hope you guys dont hang me for that!!!!!LOL

This will be worn after all so I went a bit crazy on the details.
The entire thing is totally custom. I just kept the same texturing and patterns that started in the head part and now have worked their way into the torso. Particularly the charred neck area.

This is HEAVILY influenced by the SPAWN movie costume. One of the best movie sculpted rubber suits ever...IMO of course.

You can see a vague chest bat design that will be much less noticable when done...and look at where the belt buckle would be...you'll see a bat's head and assuming it's possible to see in the pics the wings look like they're on fire and sourround the cod and side areas of that region. Again, something that the movie SPAWN costume really had going on well.

Water Clay sculpt...5 hours give or take up to this point.
Love to hear your toughts and suggestions here.

I'll have the gauntlet spikes directly on the forearm. Almost as if they were bone coming out from the arm or even something that's been fused to his skin.

Again, it's totally custom in it's design. The movie costume didnt have spikes or web like veining going on at all...not to mention bats camoflauged into the design.

Feedback of any kind is welcome and appreciated!!!
Suggestions??...let's hear them!

Thanks buddy!

Here's a cool PS pic with the head added on to it. A friend of mine was cool enough to give this a go and add some color.
It's a lot easier to visualize this way.

I 'think' the front area is winding down finally. The cod bat still needs finishing but the rest is more or less how I pictured it in my noggin when I started this guy. I'll start posting side and back shots very soon too.

The arms are nearly done all around but nothing on the back torso yet. I may do that as a separate add on later to make it easier for the wings to be supported....I know I know...the movie Demon didnt have wings...but I dont care...mine will!t:

I think it needs a bit more 'body' and a little more 'flow'..kind of like what a good shampoo does....but it's close now.

Just like the head, the bone structure on this isn't really symmetrical either...it's meant to look sort of lopsided or warped..not much mind you but creature/deformed/charred and melted-kinda-like is the effect I'm trying to get with this guy.

I've also got a few people wondering why the chest bat logo is almost non existent. Well, I want to it be enhanced by the paint work more so than as a typical 'seen one you've seen 'em all' type batsuits....besides...I like the idea of using this torso for 'other'characters too so I dont want it terribly customized.
...and, as much as this is from my own noggin....the movie version of this outfit didnt have a chest bat logo anyhow...

Getting close now...

I just got word that my teeth are ready.
Check out these bad boys....t:

This is going to be a lot of fun when I assemble the entire outfit!!!
I dont make teeth so I had a professional denture maker handle them for me. I've never worn fake teeth before so this should be interesting.

[BatB]

[Two-Face]

Amazing work, David!

 

[Soundwave88]

now that is freaky

 

[Black Mamba]

That whole scene in BEGINS was absolutely one of the coolest things I had ever seen. My father when he saw, was like: "WOW"... so imaginative. A "bat out of hell" or "demon bat". It was crazy. The legend and mystique Batman has int he film, that is what the villains, thugs, etc. picture Batman as looking like. "Can he really fly?", "I heard he can disappear."... truly a frightening sight. Wish we got to see more of it in the film. Great work, DavidY1.

 

[DAVIDYR1]

Thanks my brothers!

A little update.
The clay is where I want it. I've been cooking parts of the clay to make it crack and coating the sculpt with latex 'over and over and over again' to give it a sort of skin...lava-like and charred.. kind of like what the movie costume had. For the movie, they took a Begins chest piece..coated it with whipped foam latex by caking it on then blasting it with heat guns to make it pop, crack and tear. I did sort of the same thing with just latex...and am real happy with the results..LOL!

This is finally the painted sculpture..

I decided to nix the chest bat logo and the bat on the cod pice..after all that time working on a cool embossed logo I decided to scrap it...but, the movie suit doesnt have one anyhow....and the cod bat was just too out of place in the end..I dug the idea, but not for this guy....

I've got a bunch of stuff I'm painting and waiting on to dry. I'm actually working on the Apocalypse suit now...doing too much at once... hwell

Enjoy!
