Bram Stokers Dracula Gary Oldman life size bust painted by Bucephallos

My paint job on the Dracula life size bust from Howard's Studios ...the first video of this piece on youtube and the most movie accurate sculpture out there!!! ...there are only 20 copies exist world wide and this bust is one of 2 which we own! we have got them from Howard Senft himself ...i tried to give the bust a movie accurate look with my paint job and the pictures don't do it justice ...i hope you enjoy the video!

Hi, I spotted the Dracula Helmet that you have and i have a very similar one, if not, the same. but i have dont have many details on the origins of it as i purchased it from ebay a while back. could you tell me where yours is from and any details please? thanks for your help mate, p.s. the bust is amazing!

@vampiricfilth ...hey buddy, i have got my bust few years ago from USA with COA and i have heard there are cheap recasts of the helmet wich are very fragile!!! This one is thick & heavy from resin!! ...on the COA is writing they used the same material for the movie as stunt helmets!!

I hope it helps...

@zeta1ret Thanks man :)

This is exceptional work Yavuz, where did you learn to paint like this, I'm very impressed! The eyes really stand out from Gary Oldman's pale complexion - very unnerving and realistic.

How long did this take you?

TOP MARKS 100/100

@RobotOnLine it is a kind of self-educated over the years Kevin ...i just bring the right love and passion into the work!! ...thats it! I´m just tired to be dependent from big companies work on pieces which we love ...and finally there are siting sometimes chinese workers who have no love for some pieces where we spend a lot of money lolll ...joke!! ^^ ...thank you Kevin for your very valued and qualified comment :)

@Bucephallos Thanks, yeah mine is the same! but as i got it from ebay i have no COA :( It is a great piece though! any chance you could email me a photo of the COA, just for reference? Its the only piece in my collection i have no background on! keep up the good work man!

@g36gorilla Thank you Mark it means a lot to me to get those words and those positive feedback my brother ...im really really happy with that bust and the final paintjob ...i have also a 2nd blank piece which i will finish soon with different eyes and hair colour ...ye it is an amazing job to do this and a lot of fun i love to work on such pieces ...self-praise stinks and thats why i love to hear an objective opinion about my / our work ...thank you my brother much appreciated ;)

Hell Yeah My bro Yavuz got some serious painting skills. Excellent sculpt by Howard.S but the Paint job you did on this took it to a whole new level that is by far better than most professionals out there PERIOD! thats why this bust gets 2 thumbs way, way up and 1000000/1000000 stars if I could rate it that high lol

@Bucephallos i cant wait to see what you do with the second one!

The number on mine is just written with blue pen underneath the bust. It isn't engraved or anything like that. I also have the number on the certificate of authenticity.
