I took a generic Blucky head and gouged out the eyes and nose cavity to a more realistic size/shape. I also sliced between the teeth (leaving some out) to open the jaw and then did a cut along the back of the head to help the jaw lay open. I used a stencil burner for most of the cuts and then an Xacto knife to clean them up.

Using masking tape, I placed the eyeballs and then stuffed the skull with balls of newspaper to hold them in place. I did a ring of cotton/latex to simulate upper and lower eye lids (helping to hold the eyes in place).

Then I Fitted some cotton batting in place to close off the mouth and nose cavities. The eyes I used, I made myself Realistic Eyeball With Muscle WIP. The blind eye, I did the same way but I used an opaque white color.



Pretty cool so far hehe

I whited out the teeth (just a base color, I'm going to airbrush the finished product) and added more latex/cotton to simulate jaw and other muscles.



More images of it at this point...





I still need to do the top and back of the skull and then lay paint but I'm pretty happy with how Blucky is looking so far.

Now that has got to be the nicest blucky-job I have EVER seen! Keep it going!

Looking good! And those eyes are phenomenal! I'll be keeping an eye on this thread, as I'll be attempting this for next year.

I did a little more cotton and latex along the sides of the skull today. And I'm surprised to admit the amount of depth you can get using a cheap Blucky! I can't wait to airbrush this one.

Now I'm adding some stringy cheek to jaw tissue...



The head is about done now.

I should mention that when using latex with unrolled cotton balls, you get a smooth muscle effect (like along the sides of my blucky skull). But when using latex with batting, you get a more pitted/dry look (like the chin and stringy cheek thing I did).

I airbrushed some black shadows and then light brown. The skull is about done now
