I've been working on a bio-mechanical homage to H.R. Giger. I hope to have done soon as I'm going to attempt to cast this thing. The head comes off, as well as the tail and the two heads below. Still needs a lot of detailing and smoothing, as well as a few other odds and ends, but it's getting there. This has been a serious exercise in symmetry for me. Symmetry is hard, lol!
The Dark Knight Returns Aka Batman!!!
Our Batman cowl is a mix of silicone, polyfoam and resin. The massive jaw was sculpted to completion first, molded in stone and the cowl was then finished molded in silicone for a urethane casting later turned into a polyfoam cast for weight.
The teeth then sculpted, molded in silicone and cast in resin. Lastly a rough overgrown patchy five o clock shadow was hair punched into the chin.
The muscle suit was patterned off a eva foam mannequin of our model, the suit was then patterned off the muscle suit.
Chest symbol and pouches were then sculpted, molded in silicone and cast in polyfoam.

Re: What's On Your Workbench? (Fall 2024)
I’m very excited and proud to share with you all the project I’ve been working on for the past year. I created the 3D sculpture that is mounted to the background print. It’s full sized and is powerful to experience in person. The first picture is a side by side of the finished sculpture next to the photoshop image it is based off of. By far the most
beautiful piece I’ve done in my life. This was only possible with the knowledge I have gained over the years from the lessons here on SWSCA. Learning from the best in the business has inspired all of my art. I hope to one day teach a lesson on your site to help and inspire others! This project still needs the frame, but overall is a completed artwork. Hope you all enjoy it, it was my honor to create it.

Krang from TMNT
Growing up at the perfect time to enjoy the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle cartoon and films I knew it was only a matter of time before I would finally create a love letter cosplay to the franchise.
Krang was scratch built from head to toe. The body is largely made from upholstery foam and EVA foam with a mixer of 3M 74 spray, neoprene rubber and plastidip to skin the foam body.

The body was then painted with rattle can paints for the block colors and airbrushed for all the exposed skin portions.
Krang's alien body (belly) was sculpted out of oil clay, molded in stone and cast in silicone, then airbrushed with thinned caulking technique.
Krang's android head was also sculpted in oil clay to 2nd forms and then measurements were taken from the sculpture and used to 3d model the goggles and other robotic parts that were then 3d printed and used to finish the android mask which was then 2part molded in stone and cast in neoprene rubber.
This was a 90 day build, I'm sure I missed a ton of interesting detail that anyone can check out thru our build log on insta @ KARRVER

Re: What would you like to learn from the Stan Winston School?
I would love to learn more about complex mold making. Either 3 or 4 (or more) part molds or matrix molds. It would be great to see a mold made start to finish on an elaborate sculpture.
Thanks so much for all of the great information already!
