very nice lips
your model brings out the BIO-MECH pipings and lines across the back of the skull more than the film
sigh - interesting (but I'm still waiting for Paradise announcement) ANNOUNCE IT ALREADY.

David1, thanks. I made the original in clay then moulded it.
This is a resin casting.

looks great! very nice work! can you post a link to the ebay page when it goes up? are you going to be selling multiple castings? thanks for sharing.

ChrisJuly 29, 2012
Wow ZetaReticuli - Amazing work man. Just fantastic! Gonna make a mention of this on our Twitter account.
So, do you plan to open a bid session for members here on the site for it? If so, I can assist in getting the word out and add a mention of it to the homepage and Facebook. Let me know.
But great work, really well done!

BADASS!! Very well done. Much respect.
I may work for the company, but im really an OK guy.
SentinelJuly 29, 2012
Nice ancient feel to that sculpture.
@Freeplanet, what makes you think that the "pipings" are bio-mech? That might be true, I actually didn't think of it because some of the markings and head gear on tribal people are very similar. It made me think this was a representation of slavery.... Maybe it looked tribal because Earth people copied it off the Engineers!?

ZetaReticuliJuly 29, 2012
Thanks all. Yes joeyjoe, there'll be a very limited number for the time being.
Chris, not sure what you mean by bid session on here. I'll post a link to the ebay listing up here later on ok?
SkyJuly 29, 2012
great work.
Uncertainty is the only certainty there is, and knowing how to live with insecurity is the only security.

sukkalJuly 29, 2012
It's stunning!
You're super talented.
I hope you make a FORTUNE off of it on eBay! You deserve it.

ChrisJuly 29, 2012
@ZetaReticuli, yeah let me know when the link is up and I'll make a mention of it and when the bidding starts. Looks great!
Do you have any future plans to do sculpts of other things in Prometheus? Perhaps a mount of the DEACON head? That would be awesome.
SpaceJockey1082July 29, 2012
Very nice oh n BTW has anyone been reading that fan made Prometheus 2 Paradise he posted the link on one of these forums and it was quite good... Does anyone know the link I can't find it for the life of me. Thank u

ZetaReticuliJuly 29, 2012
Many thanks again for all your kind comments everyone. Chris, here's
the link to the listing:

I certainly do have more Prometheus works in the pipeline and I'm working on two more sculpts as I write - one of the Hammerpede and one of the decapitated SJ head which will double as a separate sculpture of the revealed Engineer head as soon as I've moulded it. Busts of both the Engineer and the Deacon are also in the works.

Thank you for sharing your Art. It is a wonderful rendition of the production stage prop.

SpaceNikJuly 29, 2012
Awesome!
Next you should do one of the sacrifice engineer.

THanks form sharing the scukpture,, Shows a good positive attitude about the film.
In looking at the sculpture..I am still reminded of the various large head sulptures.carvings located across the world,attibuted to ancient cuktures.
I wonder if the display st the Engineers' base was axrually a relic from an early Earth civilization...
In any case I enjoyed looking at all of your pix...

Thanks Rsand, patch and Leeta. Yes, Leeta I had to get the proportions
and face as spot-on (within my standards) as I could before doing all the detailing. I did cross-hatching markings with a needle tool for the 'tiling' surface texture and then randomly 'wore' them with a brush and water.
I used a clay extruder to get those 'cords' all over the head. Took months on and off, but it's been a labour of love nonetheless.
Spacenik, a naked torso/bust of the engie is also on the cards too.
Indiejohn, I love ancient colossal art too and that tied in nicely with me being an Alien fan, so I was sold when I first saw the Head on publicity photos and heard of the plot rumours. I'm hoping there'll be more iconic imagery in the next film, if there is to be one.

very cool @ZetaReticuli You are all an artist and What about the pyramid, the mural, the Juggernaut or the telescopic chair whit the suit?
regards :)


ZetaReticuliJuly 30, 2012
Thanks Feebs, BigDave, Shambhala.
No plans for any of those except the mural Shamb

CustodianJuly 30, 2012
Sentinel,
oh, you mean the tribal scaring?
Well, that face (maybe it's the lighting) looks more like the external view of the Juggernaut and the Mothership, is all.
