The whole production project took a month, I hope you like it

The Siege Giant
This is an original character sculpted with Cos clay.
An old evil wizard acquired the remains of a fallen giant. Using dark magic and engineering he brought the giant back to life to be his worker tasked with building siege equipment that the wizard sells to the neighboring kingdoms to wage war on eachother.

Re: *** Character Sculpting Contest 2022 Winner Announcement ***
Thank you very much, this is wonderful. I cannot believe I won, I am very thankful for this!
Dragon Geisha
This character was created for a short film called "Monsters"
Character Desciption:
Materials and process:
I used the Kurat Demon prosthetic brow from MostlyDead.com, airbrushed the face with EBA white and then added a white and red mix to create a gradient pink tone on the prosthetic ridges, horns and checkbones. I also added a traditional red Geisha lip. The wig was purchased online and re-styled according to traditional Geisha customs.
The burn was created with Skin Tite silicone from Smooth On directly on the cheek. After that I added Kryolan scab blood and BenNye Ash on the burn scar to accentuate the burned flesh.

Character Desciption:
“The dragon Geisha represents the weird creations our mind creates that haunt us in the periphery of our vision. She lives in the mirror world, menacing our thoughts from beyond.”

My fan art sculpture of the alien from Alien3 I finished last year.

It measures approximately 30 cm / 12 inch in length and 20 cm / 8 inch in height.

New Dark Stop-Mo Short!
I'd like to share my first stop motion short film, completed after finishing all the Chiodo Brothers videos here at SWSCA. Production time was precisely one month from initial set construction to finished piece (evenings and weekends).

The film, dozens of behind-the-scenes photos, and 2700 words' worth of production notes can all be found at SterileFlower.com. (direct Vimeo link)

Re: *** The 2021 Halloween Costume Contest Has Ended ***
it would be nice to know overall who were the top three...with an Honorable mention made to second and third place...a lot of people spent a lot of time and did some OUTSTANDING work on these costumes that may have taken months to put together and it would be nice to recognize them
Re: What's On Your Workbench? (Fall 2021)


I’ve been working on this ‘Skaven’ character this year. It’s the first time I’ve ever tried anything like this!
