Prosthetics; Plaster Casting

WIP: At this point in my prosthetic nose piece, I had finished the plasteline sculpt entirely.
Above it shows finished sculpt as well as the clay wall made to contain the plaster once it get poured over the piece to make a cast.

This shows the plasteline and face cast base once the plaster has been poured over it. 

I'm so pleased with how detailed the cast has come out, as I didn't expect the plaster to pick up some of the finer details, such as the nose texturing.
More WIP photos will be put up once I've started the next step; painting and applying latex.

Prosthetics; Texturing

Before and after final texturing. What I wanted to define by texturing the nose was an obvious difference between the nostril/ wet nose part and the rest of the sculpt. The shape I'm trying to achieve at the moment is a human/cat hybrid, so theres needs to be a distinction between the skin of the nose and the fur on the rest of the face.

I wanted the textured dimples to look subtle but natural and not too over the top or 'cartoonish'. This image shows detailing I did with a sculpting tool through a sheet of cling-film, as it softened the tool marks.

Prosthetics; Character Nose Sculpting

WIP of my first 'from scratch' prosthetic piece. Very excited to see how this experiment turns out,  and if all goes well it may become part of a future cosplay.
These photos show the sculpt in plasteline over a pre-made face cast, from start to finish of the main sculpting process.

The more time I spent sculpting, the more I realised that the nostrils should curl around the sides of the nose in order to look more feline, rather than being placed directly at the front, which gave off more of a 'snouted' look. 

Pictured is the final sculpt before I textured or took a cast of it in plaster. Pictures to follow!
