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...
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
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...
The eyes of the orb must be painted whiter than white before I put the pupils in I believe that even the smallest wrong detail can make the whole artwork look cheap and wrong. Horror Art Prints HPLHS - The H.P. Lovecraft Historical Society
This is an earlier colour scheme for the eggs. I wanted a colour that stood out from the other colours. I wanted a colour that didn't feature anywhwere elese in the sculpture so I experiemented with this shade of turquoise. It is a very beautiful and rare colour....
For his part of the orrery I have used a premade sculpture The teeth is a circular pendant made of greenstuff that I originally made for a necklace.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.
I wanted to create the impression of creatures laying eggs. The creatures that make up the orbs of this orrery have been reproducing. I used quinoa seeds and PVA glue to create the eggs. i painted them in yellow and watered down green. The idea is that the yellow will...
I am painting the base of the orrery with combination of black and silver. The idea is to give it the look of natural rock. I also added some orange. I think this makes it look more natural, as if the rock is volcanic. I am also experimenting with a green sheen, as if...
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...
I continued sculpting and painting my orrery. I used 'green stuff' kneadatite modelling putty. In the middle globe attached two more eyes, so they are all facing in opposite directions. This I think gives a symmetry to the sculpture which it wouldn't have if the eyes...
