Re: Class Discussion
Also, for anyone stumped looking for books mentioned in the course, I did manage to find Sculpture Inside and Out by Malvina Hoffman as an online readable version at a site called archive dot org. It is basically a video that is designed to click page by page. "Heads and Tails" is also up there, but I believe it requires a membership to see that one over a certain time limit.

Re: Class Discussion
Greetings all. I realize this is about 6 years later (insert witty Riff Raff and Time
Warp ref here...).
Just finished parts 1 & 2, all felt informative and still very relevant. My history is a little bass ackward coming from traditional that went digital and is now melding both with resin 3D print and really digging into clay properly now much later in life. Point being that a lot of tooling is figured out and joints can essentially be printed as needed to custom size, etc. -for my intended workflow at any rate. I found many ways for thinking through it all after watching this course and it filled in a shedload of blanks I had.
I'm the Harryhousen, Blaisdell, Don Post, Frazetta nostalgic sort, I need to know because the kid in me is still demanding answers from the 70s.
Thank you Sandy, even years later. Learned tons, especially with book references and the mind aspects to approach, as well as industry insight.
And thank you Matt Winston for keeping the gates open and the torch ever so bright.

Bruxa from Witcher 3: Blood and Wine
Hi I'm @TirameowsuCosplay on Instagram.
Teeth and claws prosthetics are fully handmade and molded with friendly plastic, foam, glues and paint/dyes. Weathered and ripped up a small dress, primal contact lenses, wig, lots of cream bodypaint/makeup applied with my hands (I don't own an airbrush machine or fancy brushes).
ZERO photoshop, all photos are straight out of the camera, they were taken by my partner, @Alexicutioner on Instagram.
In terms of this character, I am Orianna the Bruxa monster from the Witcher 3 game, Blood and Wine DLC. You can see her appearance as a monster in the "Night to Remember" teaser trailer for Blood and Wine.
I hope you enjoy!! I freezed my butt off doing this photoshoot in the wet mushy leaves by the lake in 11° Celsius!! 😆
Rex the Dragon
Meet Rex! He's a 22 foot fire-breathing dragon (not actual fire. . .actually, its a fire extinguisher.......but we don't talk about that). He is a stage puppet operated by 4 puppeteers (Jeremiah Gould-head, myself-wings, Jesse Gould-legs, and Isaac Schuyler-tail) for the show Kingdom Chronicles at the Logos Theatre in association with Majesty Music and their Patch the Pirate Adventures.
Rex the Dragon Sizzle Reel: https://youtu.be/baGZ4hwUV8c
His eyes, mouth, and throat, all glow. His jaw, arms, legs, and wings are all articulated. He is primarily made of bamboo, landscape fabric, and EVA foam/L200. Don't ask me why, but his head and inner mouth plates were vacuum-formed in 6 different sections.
Original design was by Ken Hines, who was also lead sculpture for the head. Harrell Whittington was the lead painter (he happens to be completely color blind!). I assisted both of these incredible men, and headed up the rest of the build with an assistant Jesse Gould (pictured below) and several of my students and volunteers: William Landrum, Emily Stoll, Joe Hainsworth, Craig Robertson, and Jonah Cofer.
Since his completion, he as made several public appearances and has quickly become the talk of the town.
This was a fun project, and although this isn't necessarily my Halloween costume, let's just say that this is going to be a fun Halloween!!

Marvel Comics “Hobgoblin”
The Hobgoblin from Marvel Comics
Full costume made by me. Prosthetics sculpted and run in silicone.
I had so much fun making this character and bringing it to life.
- Just about 1,800 foam scaled were payed down 1by1.

Dr Finkelstein
My costume is inspired in Dr Finkelstein from Tim Burton’s the Nightmare Before Christmas.
The head is divided in 3 parts: the cranium, the brain and the helmet . The cranium is made with foam and covered in fabric. The brain is also made with foam but it’s covered and painted with liquid latex. Finally the helmet is made with styrofoam.
