Reviews for "NG buddies"
You know I've always loved those masks. I still use the final concept sketch of the Blockhead mask as my forum avatar.
If you have a link to that Milburn photoshoot around anywhere, I'd love to see the results of it again. It's been a long time, and all the links I'd saved are dead.

you're too kind. and while i dont have any of his finals either i do have some he sent me, i'll shoot you a pm w/ the links!
They look awesome, if the NG shop should open again by some miracle these should be mass produced and sold as mask and or bust. You also mentioned you created other things, do you mean other characters? If so, who where they? Oh, and who's in possession of the masks now, Tom?
sucho responds:
i'm not sure if the office has all of the masks. i did the three you see here, as well as a Joe Zombie head, Strawberry Clock head, a Dad n' Me skull mask, and a few other partial bits and pieces, like ears and hands n' things. i can't honestly remember them all but those were the biggest jobs i did.
These are amazing. Hominid looks a bit thinner than his not-real-life counterpart, but that thinned out cranium does add a sense of menace. Both of the others look pretty psychotic; great detail! Nicely done.

what was fun about the project was how i was free to interpret them 3-dimensionally, knowing it would be on a human actor in a body suit, i did take liberties to elongate hominid to match an actor, and it was really fun giving new detail to blockhead. for instance i tried to give him a realistic mouth but as he's drawn with a flat crisp white swoosh for teeth, i made sure the mask had no canine points or any difference with molars etc. actually salad fingers is probably the most literal as i think the jump from animation to actor wasn't as huge for him visually. but lots of fun.
whoa wtf, pacman has sever gingivitis, f*ckin, break out the listerine bro, lmaooo
