The milliput still needs some time to dry. And as you can see there are still some holes that need to be filled in. However I might be able to just paint over them, because the paint will be thivk enough to cover them up. As you can see the surface is very smooth and...
I have made the bade of the sculpture thinker to make it look more like stone. I added some extra layers to the base using foamboard which I glued on with PVA glue. This is a very useful material which I usually employ to make walls for sfx makup moulds. A wall is...
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

For his part of the orrery I have used a premade sculpture The teeth is a circular pendant made of greenstuff that I originally made for a necklace.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...
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...
I spent the morning trying to make the wings on this sculpture symmetrical I tried sculpting the wings individually, detached from the body. But the only way to get the symmetry right is to sculpt them while they are attached. I had to use two small pieces of wood to...
