Gonna admit I liked your second photo the best. But keep it up! I can see you weren't going for perfect realism in the skull, but you might benefit from using a reference to get some of the features more skull-like.

I actually really like it. I think if you kept the jawless and added teeth to that etc. it would look great. I'd be down to buy one

Thank for your suggestion, try another design, hope it's better !

Looks great! I like the horns on the skull. Personally, I hope that more artists start making unique skull designs.

I think basic skulls are overdone. What about sheep with skull faces? Or robots with skull faces? Or potatoes with skull faces?

If you made a cross between the two that would be amazing, I loved the detail of the old cap, but i love the shape of the new one. Great job!

Added some more detail to that skull and fix the size :D will finish it soon.
Some of my other caps, juggernaut and cute "skull" . Bad cast. I can't find good things as smooth-on or alumilite in my country :(

Sorry for my bad english
 
At least it fit. Cute "skull" now have better surface and ready for new mold.




Hope i can get better cast next time and will add better images with dslr

Tried another resin and color and got these caps. But surface still sticky. Will wait more hours to see if it's ready for "custom" cap

Try mixing your resin by weight instead of eyeing it. My resin was always a bit sticky until I started doing that.

These are all so good!
It's amazing that there is such a large influx of new cap makers with such magnificent designs.
Starting to wonder how clacks are even valuable to anyone with all these better looking caps around.
