A quick and dirty cushion foam buildup head - it took 2 days to make. This is a large scale head to be seen with 11 inch tall human characters for a project that is still in the works. The basic shape is carved from soft urethane sheet foam, with liquid latex applied to form a skin, and MDF teeth and spines.

Oh, I just noticed it blinks. HOW DID YOU MAKE IT BLINK???? I've been trying to figure this one out for a while.

@PowerOfMontage

The blink was done with replacement plasticine eyelids.  A half-closed lid, fully closed lids, a half-closed lid again, then back to the bare eyeball.

The finished dragon appears in the Skeleton Swordfight video at my channel.

Why thank you Mr Dods! Foamithrax is not up to the standard of your wonderfully sculpted skin textures, but it's good enough for the way its being used.

These behind the scene clips of your, Nick are so incredibly informative and exciting to watch! Sealing the eye with latex--brilliant! Using a tripod as a rig--double brill!
