Very lucky the heels were cast in a bone coloured plastic:

So my fibreglassing is fairly straight forward. The shoe base was glad wrapped and taped, the glass can be peeled off tomorrow to shape.

    My goodness, you do go all out. It’s clearly a labor of love. But the quality at the end really shows. 🙂

MALEFICENT

MALEFICENT

Bluray is out here on Oct 1. Sigh. So my bodysuit and sculpts are on hold until then. I think I do have the seams worked out for the bodysuit and the base shapes of the hip and spine pieces, just not the textures or details.

The hip shapes look smooth in the various captures and VFX, but I don’t fully trust what I have seen before I can watch the scenes in super slow mo at the highest resolution I can.

But I did draw lines and fit a basic bodysuit (precut, hooray! I may do a few more of these!) so I can at least pretty well just go for it.

I also patterned the boot covers.

And found the lime green soft soft soft lederhosen (not kidding, they are leather shorts!) I cut apart years ago. These will be soft enough for the collar but may also be perfect for the headdress. So I cleaned my head cast.

Dribs and drabs, bits and pieces. Trying very hard to not overdo things as my wrists are definitely hot, squishy and painful (do not touch! Yes they are sore to the touch not “just” with movement.) And I did sleep in til midday today and spent nearly all of yesterday and the day before asleep. Fatigue is definitely not relenting, I’m just coralling it in to a different pattern.

MALEFICENT SCULPTS

Sculpting and resculpting. Getting a headstart or creating more work? No idea. Just hoping NZ gets the same release date for the DVD as the rest of the world.
New cheek prosthetics are slightly ott but with the horns being slightly ott this may not be a bad thing.
Okay, in the morning I’ll suck it up and have some steroids seeing as I am supposed to be on them. But I’m blue enough to have difficulty sleeping anyway. Not throwing steroids on that mess of stress hormones.

Spotted what look like butt cup seams on Maleficent’s bodysuit. So I’ll definitely have to try and work out how that fits in. But it does possibly mean I found the main seam for the side leading in to the body. Now to hunt back the side back seam, which again I think I spotted the bottom of, as more shaping of the butt.

Now to hunt down the other screen caps which seem to have gone astray….

Didn’t find them made more 🙂 Using them to start sculpting the hip and spine pieces. I can hopefully wait til the Blu Ray for clearer body details.
