So I got a PM today. one like may others I have recieved in the past. I thought I would go ahead and squash this. I have never owned or even been in contact with a Robert Englund life cast. All the Freddy masks I have sculpted are from scratch. TDC was sculpted on a life cast but it was not from Robert. Just a simple bust to sculpture on. My new \'Vs\' was actually sculpted on a wig head and PVC pipe....
The reason for the mouth.... Sinse I was a kid I always hated walking around in a mask with the mouth open, thats all. If I were doing stationary busts then I would definately go with an open mouth, showing some teeth. I dont have anything against the look, just not for a mask. Looks more natural IMO.
When I saw that Dan had a RE life cast I called him, giddy as a school girl. I even talked to Paul about it. I realized though that a piece like that should be kept private and not slip out to the public. RE\'s life casts have always been \'guarded\' if you will, and for good reason (again, IMO).
I appreciate those of you think/thought I sculpture on one but unfortunatly, I dont. I take it as a compliment...
