Eyes

Description

This is also from my examinationsproject. This is the eyes I´ve made for my sculpture: [link]

The eyes are made out of ren-cast resin. The iris is two layers of printed paper and overheadpaper. The eyes has then been moulded in cristalclear, polyester resin, to get the watery, lifelike look.

The eye on the three top pics is the one I´m done with.. the rest is just prototypes and failed ones... The eye to the far right is the first one, hehe!

Those are really insanely awesome, and the finished head reminds me of Ron Muek and his work - have you seen it? He works in hyperrealism, carves his stuff from clay and then casts it in silicon and latex to give it a realistic look and feel, punches in every hair by hand and has these incredible life like twelve foot high people. They just look awesome
I saw one of his exhibitions the other day and I couldn't get over how realistic the eyes were, it is true that the eyes have 'it'. I'm very jealous of these and I think I'll start to redouble my efforts with resin casting - I'd ask you for a step-by-step but yknow, wouldn't want to waste your time like you said above spending hours translating... Especially after you spent three weeks developing the technique, you must have it pretty close to your heart by now!

congrats man, these are awesome
