Swamp Thing!

When I was asked if I could create a Swamp Thing sculpture as a private commission I jumped at the chance. As a child I loved the character's strange internal logic and design and watch the live action TV series whenever I could find it.  This version is more specifically my take on the Steve Bissette version (my favorite design).

Since this was a fast one-off project that would have layered, gnarled roots all over it I chose to make a Super Sculpey original rather than mold and cast a from oil clay. This proved to be the right choice from the painting perspective as well as I could skip doing multiple primer passes and just get to work painting this thing ASAP after it cured.

This was the most fun I have had in a long time.

Painted Witch Hand

One of my witch hands was commissioned as a painted version. I had a much harder time finding my footing on this paint job but I feel like it worked out nicely in the end. I imagine this witch as a festering old hag who is one step away from zombie flesh.

Hornbeard

This is an original character of mine. He was created as my Fire City contest submission. Chavant NSP medium.

Toni 3 and Richanda 2

Some nice close up detail shots of Richanda 3 and Toni 2 before they got shipped off to their new owners. I wouldn't normally be posting pictures of the same old fleshlettes but these revised sculpts and the photos of them show off so much new detail compared to the originals. I couldn't help myself.

Monsterpalooza 2013: Mr. Wrinkles

Mr. Wrinkles. Approx 5.5 inches, original sculpt in Monster Clay.

Monsterpalooza 2013: Scheming Demon

Here is the final casting of the "Scheming Demon". Originally this included a pair of hands but they just didn't work out correctly with the timing of the show. There is something refreshingly clean about the torso-only version presented here. Originally sculpted in Chavant NSP Medium.

Monsterpalooza 2013: Witch's Hand

A new run of "Witch's Hand" was created for the 2013 show. Differences include an integrated base, fixing the position of the pinky finger and a better all around reproduction of the original sculpture.
