HMV Easter eggs (BIGGUNS)

After I had completed the actual size eggs HMV asked for 3 large ones to be created for the Oxford st shop front. The 3 were Lady Gaga, Mario and Alvin. So basically it was a case of scaling up the original 3 and boom! there you have it, 3, 4 foot easter eggs complete with egg cups and accessories! The eggs are now in the store so go and check them out! In the mean time here are a few work in progress shots to wet your whistle...

Mario's hat

Here is an image of the poly carved hat before the red felt was streched over.



The felt is then pain stakingly streched and glued into place and adjusted with a couple of discreet darts at the back.

Gaga's Hair

The first process was to poly carve the basic shape for her hair. As her hair is fairly reminiscent of a hat shaped helmet this was fairly easy to get right. It was then covered in a platinum blonde fur and hair was added over the top later.



And here are the finished eggs, sat in there egg cups ready to be installed
