Been really meaning to make one of these for a long time. I knew there had been several "bird bird" bases out there so I wanted to sculpt mine with a bit more gryphon/land predator feel.
The avian influence was a mix between a marshal eagle, a golden eagle, and a red tail hawk. I'm thinking of taking 5 pre-orders with a 6th base ready to fur. All 5 would be cast and trimmed. Scored along the mouth and tear ducts for easy cutting. I kept the beak tip blunted in order to make it kid friendly (in case any of 'the big birdies' were to nibble a little finger). The main beak is pre-glossed and would come in black or white currently. Everything else is a sculpted matte. Fit would generally be around 4-4.5 inch pupil to chin. Any larger and the lower jaw cup area can be cut (pre-scored as well) to allow for larger heads :3 Suitable for 32-36 mm eyes.
I'm needing to order materials so casting wouldn't happen till the end of this month. if I gain enough interest here I will make a journal taking slots at $80 per blank. May auction the ready to fur blank. But anyways, first bird!!

Hey Sharpe! I'd like to purchase one from you (this is WolfenAkaris boyfriend, you hung out with me at the sushi place..... but I think you know ^^)!
I'd like a white-cut version if possible please!
Can you contact me on skype (s/n crisosphinx)? She's going to order one from you next week, black-cut! Just thought I'd let you know!

Beautiful! Really nicely shaped and defined.
Very tempted by this, it even looks like it could do a bearded vulture justice too, i know their beaks are more lengthened but its very hard to find soemone who could make a custom vulture resin head to this degree >.> would it be possible to convert/use one of these to imitate a BV?

im curious, would you ever consider opening commissions for different custom resin blanks? and i dont mean fully finished, but like of a specific species.. im looking for a specific blank to use for my fursona Esben, but all the blanks that may possibly work are too canine..
I have thought about it yes, but until the weather warms up past temps similar to Hoths, it wouldn't be a very good deal with the delay in cure times. (Resin and silicone slow and possibly cause cure inhibition in colder temps). Out of curiosity, what's the species you're needing?
