Holiday sculpting

 Since I'm out of town for the holidays, I stopped something that I've been working on, instead of that I sculpted a servant of the palace under the sea.(inspired by Japanese folklore "Urashima Taro" ) this was a just quick sketch that I sculpted in few hours. I'm thinking this is going to be new piece for next year.

 I also sculpted our dog. those were sculpted in monster clay. it's really good for sculpt if you want to sculpt quickly. just put clay into a microwave, and warm it up few minutes. It doesn't have bad smell and non toxic.

Godzilla vs MUTO Statue

 Godzilla vs MUTO sculpture. "Kiss of Death" Casted in resin and finished like Ivory.

                           

Little fun

Made small portrait head in clay and casted in gelatine.

First I casted without no pigments, then I decided to add some pigment which is some fresh acrylic paint thinned with water.

After demoed it from a mold, I also add spatter paint.

This was a quick and fun little experiment. I put it on my desk, and a week later it shrunk and got mold.

Now, I also want to try to cast in silicone too.

W.I.P2

I made a mold for Godzilla part, and test casted. It looks overall good.
Now I need to work on his teeth and MUTO's head.

Portrait Sculpting 3

After a while, the sculpture is done and I started making a mold of it.

I usually make a dividing wall using wed clay, but this time, I want to try another way. I'm thinking two parts silicone and plaster bandage shell.

I applied first layer of silicone on the sculpture to get details. I also start adding thickened  silicone to under cut.

I will apply second coat when silicone sets.

Portrait Sculpting 2

These pictures are progress of the portrait sculpture that I've been working on.

I started adding hair once when I think It gets a character. After added hair I noticed some parts are not correct compare to reference model, so I changed many places to make them correct using a measure tool. Even though placements of parts get corrected, those are still look different to a model. Which case I really need to observe reference pictures to see how muscles and skins cover on a face.

I wanted to measure every parts again, so I took hair off and start measuring again.

 　　　These pictures above, I started measuring again and figure it out how muscles and skin work.

The some faces parts got unnatural looking in this picture, so I took hair off and measuring every parts again.

Usually this process takes time until sculptures looks like a model.
