Small Creature On A Pendant

Small Creature On A Pendant

This is one of my best sculptures, but I must create another strap or chain for it At the moment, it is just held around the wearers neck by a simple piece of cord. I want to put as much effort into the necklace itself as I did for the sculpture. The creature is...

Cosmic Sculpting

The trouble here is that the mouth was created individually. It wasn't designed to be on this sculpture. Therefore the edges of the gums - the edge hidden by the lips - look somewhat out of place, as if they are too big for the mouth    

Cosmic Texture

This is an earlier stage of making the orrery I used small ornamental stones to create the texture, and milliput for the edges of the piller. Making the edges join together will make the based of the sculpture look more like stone. The less thin edges there are the...

Mouth of the Orb

For his part of the orrery I have used a premade sculpture The teeth is a circular pendant made of greenstuff that I originally made for a necklace. But I have now incorporated it into this creature. This also involved sculpting the skin of the mouth around the teeth.

The Horror Art Ideas Never Stop

Residue With is artwork, I have found a way to replicate a seaweed like texture. The idea is to create some kind of slime like substance hanging of the orbs. Could this orrery have been transferred to us from another dimension, and is therefore covered in some ghastly...

So white

So white

This is a sculpture I did some time ago. I love it but I think I will add more to it The sculpting of the head and face is perfect. The color of the blood is just right. But it is still a bit plain.

Shine

Shine

This sculpture has a distinctive shine from the acrylic paint. I'm wondering how I could preserve this.   At Aylesbury college when we made an eye, we had a way of making it shiny. We were advised to put Vaseline onto it

Painting the red figurine

Painting the red figurine

I am very pleased with the skin colour, but I also need a colour on the bandages that suits it.  First I paint the bandages in white with a little bit of red at the sides. For the blood I decided to do a combination of acrylic red, agrax earthshade and reikland flesh...
