Yagher's Schwarzenegger as "Dutch" from Predator
This 1/4 scale resin bust of Arnold Schwarzenegger was sculpted by Jeff Yagher for GILLVERT, a joint effort from Paul Gill of Gillman productions and Mike Calvert of Typhon.
It depicts Arnold covered in mud trying to elude and attack the Predator.
This is the first in a series of Predator busts by GILLVERT.
I painted a very basic flesh color over the bust (knowing almost all of it would be covered in mud) and really concentrated my efforts on the tree-stump base.
For the mud, I purchased some pigments and a mixing medium from Green Stuff World and was very pleased with what I bought. It brushes on easily. I then sprinkled a few leaves (also bought from GSW). And there's a bit of Predator blood thrown in for good measure

Thanks very much guys!
And yes, overspray - nothing like playing in the mud!

Nice design and the paint job looks really good.
Goah! Git to the choppa!
I like the nameplate coloring--matching the movie font.
It's funny though-there is a shot in Predator--where he is in the cave, and the glowing blood is trickling down behind him.
I always think of Darren McGavin and a Kolchak show--every single time I see that shot. Suddenly I am watching the Spanish Moss episode where he is in the sewer.
One of those things.
When I watch King Kong Escapes, Rhodes Reason seems to transform into Sean Connery depending on the light and angle.

Phenomenal. Every picture looks like a still from the movie.

I am in shock.
This is maybe the most life-like human paint up I've ever seen.
Like Tim said - those look like stills from the movie - especially the big closeup where Ah-nold is "looking right at you". That one gave me CHILLS it looks so real.
