Latest update. Finished Pinhead's suit and cape. What do you think Hellraisers?

well done , u just need to shape his face like the acotr who prtrays him and he will look awesome, I like it!!

looking good, Ive thought of having a go at this myself a few times, thought the pins would be a pain (in more ways than one) just one thing, I dont remember pinhead waring a cape, I thought it was a long dress type thing? I've got a book 'the Hellraiser cronicles' with some good pics in. of course there could be another version I'm not aware thats not in the book.

 

Looks like Pinheads doing a Michael Caine impression... "we're angels to some, and devils to others... and not a lot of people know that!"

No, it wasn't a cape. It was more like long tuxedo tails that went down almost to the ground. I'm not a modeler and have never made clothes. So I made a primitive cylinder in UV Mapper and imported it into Poser5 welding the seams to get rid of the the hard edge. I then textured and transmapped the cylinder. It looked better as a cape than as tails at 3:00AM in the morning so I left it at that to get some more opinions. I don't try to do exact duplications when I do characters like this, I like to take artistic license and do what looks good even if it isn't 100% from the original. The biggest problem with his face is that I created the Pinhead Prop before I finished completely working on his head and I still need to make his head more bulbous and rounder. 150 pins placed on the grid took almost two days to place and smart prop. I'm not done yet, like PinHead said, "I have such wonderful things to show you!" Thanks again for all your comments and please keep them coming. I posted him incomplete because I wanted feedback.

when I thought of doing it I was thinking of using fantasy morphing dress and mike 3. coild look good with the right texture but never got round to it.

 

wow, pretty good! yes the face needs to be slimmed down a bit, and the tails, if i remeber the first film, it was a long coat type thing he was wearing, damn i should know i watch it some manys times a week! your doin well on this, would love to see what you do with the other "synobites"

In the words of DarkStarRising:
"Sadness within sadness,
Darkness within darkness,
a shadow of a form lays upon the floor,
looking at herself
looking at her own shadows of loneliness"

I always thought it was more like a 'dress-like' coat, a bit like what Keanu reeves wore in the second Matrix(whatever it's called). Always felt let down by the Hellraiser films, concept was good, unique villain(s), but the films were terrible.

I went ahead and attached it to his hip and played with the transmap a bit, saved as a separate prop. I started working on Princess today just finished the facial morphs after 6 hours! 2 of those hours were playing with head magnets to get the roundness of the head and the raised portions of the temples, brows,and eyesocket edges. Now I know what I should have done with PinHead before mapping out the pins and propping it. But, I never had intended for this to go this far! I just thought the character I had created looked enough like PinHead that I'd play a bit. Next thing I know I'm hooked on these. Geez, I haven't even finished the RiffRaff yet or started on Magenta! Oh well, so goes the life of a obsessive compulsive. Thanks again for all your comments I appreciate them!

Wow this is looking so cool, and I just love Hellraiser! ;)

Thanks, Foxseelady! Last night I think I finished with Princess' head morphs and worked on her head texture. Finally got that to a point where I had to stop and build the throat stretcher prop. It's almost done. I'll post her as soon as I get a body texture and and some clothes for her. ;D
