A new discovery

I tend to obsess about the mechanics, but my most recent discovery is in facial scuplture. I figured out a way to make really cool eye sockets. The Mike Brose-produced eyes fit beautifully and the shape of the eye sockets are much improved.

I cut out a much larger area in the upper portion of the eye socket. I use a ping pong ball as a stand-in for the real eye. Then I fill the upper portion of the eye socket inside the head with MagicSculp to envelope the upper portion of the ping pong ball for a snug fit. Then I push some of the MagicSculp forward through the eye socket to form an eyelid. The result is a perfect fit for the eye and a very cool-looking eye socket. (Photos to come).
