here's a look at my newest bust...the cowl will be sculpted after a hard copy is pulled..want to have a cowled version and an "unmasked" version...still a work in progress but just thought I would share
Thats a cool way to do it. Then you can make the "battle damaged" Catwoman with her hair sticking thru the cowl. lol
whats that picture to the left behind the bust in the second photo?
It's hard doing a likeness in one color tone...and since I decided to sculpt the cowl on a bald copy it's making it a little on the difficult side to see the likeness...but once she's apinted up and finished I think she's really going to come to life :-*

from a collector who got the chance to see the suit up close
redoing the corset...cleaned up the face a little ...doing a Devito Pengiun next ;)
Yeah. The clean up makes it look alot better. Not that it was "bad" before.lol Now leave it alone. It looks just right as is.
That's looking amazing! 8) I especially like the mouth and nose, looks just like her.
Make me a life size one so I can sleep with it every night hehe! :o
I thought it was already life-size (1:1 scale). :) I may try a Penguin sculpture with a rocket on its back (Batman returns)! ;) Unless anyone knows of an existing Batman model kit for this?
When I say life size I mean, full body and all baby haha!
started the cowl last night, been working on getting the bumps out and smoothing out the surface ...should be ready to begin the stitching tomorrow...also need to add the eyebrows as well...snapped a few shots with my phone....

Reevz, Reevz, Reevz... you never fail to astound me with one of your creations. I can't even find the right word to describe it at the moment (not even "epic" could fit)! :-\ :D
I have said it before and I will say it again
I am and will always be profoundly jealous of your artistic talent!
The only thing that consoles me is knowing that I am better looking than you! I jest. ;D
thanks guys..I'm really excited to get one painted up....the Penguin is next then I'll be able to complete my ultimate Batman Returns display...took a shot of her next to my Returns cowl fiberglass master

WOW!
A huge A+ for you, Reevz!
They look alright - you know what would make them look better...

You could always get a statue of a chihuahua to put in your office.... & name him "Heraldo". :D ;D
How did you guess my password for the site???? ;D
Hey Reevz, how's the bust going? I'm dying to see it painted! ;D
the mold will be finished tomorrow and should have castings by this weekend
pulled a urethane cowl today and put it on the unmasked copy of the bust...the cowl is a little big as I didn't cast it too thick so there was lots of room in the back ...future castings will be thicker so that they fit better...didn't have enough resin to cast a bust of the "cowl" version, I'll post those once my resin order arrives...

Looking good, Reeves! I'll have to dig out my Catwoman mask that I made years back & post pics.
Looking forward to seeing the completed bust!
I take it Trish is the better half?
Cowl looks great - i love the shine off it - is that urethane that gives that shine or is there a laquer finish? (excuse my ignorance of all things scuplting)
(Sorry for not posting earlier, Reevz) !
Reevz, the cowl looks... AMAZING! So amazing that I could see you making a sculpt of the costume to make it complete!
the results of any urethane rubber mask will depend on what type of finish I seal the original sculpt in( i.e. flat sealer = flat color, glossy sealer = glossy cowl ect.)...the rubber is tinted, poured and comes out nice and glossy .....and maybe down the road I'll get the whole complete suit done. ;)
Excellent stuff, just excellent.
You're a madman Reevz. That looks perfect :)

Cheers, man. The thought of you finishing the Catwoman suit makes me feel... excited! ;D
