Mictlantecuhtli Lord of the Underworld

Guillermo Fernández — Sun, 01 Aug 2021 04:45:21 +0000

So, here's my entry. This pieces was sculpted in wed clay, molded in silicone and the cast is resin. For the painting I used many techniques as dry brush, airbrush, washes, mate and glossy finishes. It also works as a incense burner.
The piece represents Mictlantecuhtli, the aztec god of the underworld also known as The Mictlan.

Here's a short video:

Zombie and Junkie Teeth

cristinacano.makeup@gmail.com — Thu, 29 Jul 2021 22:36:33 +0000

Hello! I have done this project with great enthusiasm, I have taken it as a personal project, since I have never made a overlapping teeth. During the process I did make a mold of the teeth in plaster, I gave form with Chavant clay, I did make a mold for the silicone sculpture, I have made it with dental acrylic, I rectified it and painted it.

When I finally got the acrylic teeth, they didn't fit on my face since I put less volume than I should. It has been an attempt and a new experience to rectify. In the future I will do them again, you can follow me on Instagram to see my works: @cristinacanofx on Instagram.

As references above all I have checked some zombies made in The Walking Dead, the effects were made by KNB Group and teeth made by Rob Hinderstein (rob_hinderstein on Instagram).

The other junkie vampire teeth I have made in the same way, only in this case I have used references from people with dental problems caused by drugs.

I hope you like what I did. I would like to receive your opinions and ideas to improve my work! Greetings, Cristina.

Aytomecano

Nydia Lopez — Mon, 28 Jun 2021 21:40:41 +0000

My Aytomecano creature arises from a dream that came in the middle of the pandemic; I was very anxious and worried because I was far from my family and I could not travel to see them. One night of those anguishing days I had a dream in which this creature appeared, which in my dreams told me to be calm, that everything was going to improve and that my family would be fine, my dream was so real and the peace that this creature gave me was so amazing, that it the next day I decided to sculpt its figure so that I would never forget it. It should be noted that from that day on, sculpture became my escape door from all the worries produced by the pandemic.

The Sentinal

Tim Peirson — Wed, 30 Jun 2021 21:07:12 +0000

This piece is 13 inches tall, made primarily with Super Sculpey with some inner support using armature wire and epoxy putty. The eyes are from Eyecoltd.

Hellblade: Senuas Sacrifice Northmen "Revenant" | Stan Winston creature sculpture contest

Philipp Brates — Sat, 03 Jul 2021 00:20:44 +0000

Hello creature creators

This is my take on creating a roughly 1/6 scale figurine of the Northmen "Revenant" creature from the videogame "Hellblade: Senuas Sacrifice".

Based on the concept design of Jeff Goslan

He's made in SuperSculpey and Cosclay and measures roughly 32cm (without wooden base)

Take care, stay healthy
-Philipp

Here are some WIPs aswell from during my work on him.
I did stream the entire progress of making him over on my twitch-channel (sadly twitch delets VODs after a few weeks).
But there are also a few different shots of the Revenant on my instagram account, where I collect my pieces.
Shamelessly plugging my links down here, if thats not ok, I can edit it out again

Simulacrum of a House

Awhisperingcampaign — Wed, 07 Jul 2021 18:02:43 +0000

Inspired by Mark Z. Danielewski's novel, House of Leaves.

"The puzzling part comes when Navidson measures the internal space. He carefully notes the length of the new area, the length of both bedrooms and then factors in the width of all the walls. The result is anything but comforting. In fact it is impossible.

32' 10" exactly.

The width of the house inside would appear to exceed the width of the house as measured from the outside by 1/4".

Certain that he had miscalculated, Navidson drills through the outer walls to measure their width precisely. Finally, with Karen's help, he fastens the end of some fishing line to the edge of the outer wall, runs it through the drilled hole, stretches it across the master bedroom, the new space, the children's bedroom and then runs it through a hole drilled through the opposite wall. He double checks his work, makes sure the line is straight, level and taut and then marks it. The measurement is still the same.

32' 10" exactly.

Using the same line, Navidson goes outside, stretches the fishing line from one side of the house to the other only to find it is a quarter of an inch too long.

Exactly.

The impossible is one think when considered as a purely intellectual conceit. After all, it is not so large a problem when one can puzzle over an Escher print and then close the book. It is quite another thing when one faces a physical reality the mind and body cannot accept.

Karen refuses the knowledge. A reluctant Eve who prefers tangerines to apples. "I don't care," she tells Navidson. "Stop drilling holes in my walls." Undeterred, Navidson continues his quest, even though repeated attempts at measuring the house continue to reveal the quarter-inch anomaly. Karen gets quieter and quieter, Navidson's mood darkens, and responding like finely tuned weathervanes the children react to the change in parental weather by hiding in other parts of the house. Frustration edges into Navidson's voice. No matter how hard he tries--and Navidson tries six consecutive times in six consecutive segments--he cannot slaughter that tiny sliver of space. Another night passes and that quarter of an inch still survives."

The Unbearable Lightness of Being

Awhisperingcampaign — Wed, 07 Jul 2021 17:53:29 +0000

Inspired by Milan Kundera's novel, The Unbearable Lightness of Being.

"In the fourth century, Saint Jerome completely rejected the notion that Adam and Eve had sexual intercourse in Paradise. On the other hand, Johannes Scotus Erigena, The great ninth-century theologian, accepted the idea. He believed, moreover, that Adam’s virile member could be made to rise like an arm or a leg, when and as its owner wished. We must not dismiss this fancy as the recurrent dream of a man obsessed with the threat of impotence. Erigena’s idea has a different meaning. If it were possible to raise the penis by means of a simple command, then sexual excitement would have no place in the world. The penis would rise not because we are excited but because we order it to do so. What the great theologian found incompatible with Paradise was not sexual intercourse and the attendant pleasure; what he found incompatible with Paradise was excitement. Bear in mind: there was pleasure in Paradise, but no excitement.

Erigena’s argument holds the key to a theological justification (in other words, a theodicy) of shit. As long as man was allowed to remain in Paradise, either (like Valentinus’ Jesus) he did not defecate at all, or (as would seem more likely) he did not look upon shit as something repellent. Not until after God expelled man from Paradise did He make him feel disgust. Man began to hide what shamed him, and by the time he removed the veil, he was blinded by a great light. Thus, immediately after his introduction to disgust, he was introduced to excitement. Without shit (in both the literal and the figurative sense of the word), there would be no sexual love as we know it, accompanied by pounding heart and blinded senses."

”MAKARA” – The Sri Lankan Dragon

Aishwarya Tennekoon — Thu, 29 Jul 2021 20:10:42 +0000

Makara is a prominent figure from the mythical realm of Sri Lankan traditional art. The Makara is widely found as a part of the “Makara Torana”, the arch way of the entry to Buddhist temples and also in “Makaragala”, a stone carved art piece that can be seen on either sides of a staircase of an entry way to a temple.

According to the description of the Rajawaliya (v.192), “The Makara has the front of an elephant, paws of a lion, ears of a boar, body of a fish living in water, having teeth turned inside and eyes of those of hanuman and a nice tail”

Each feature of this majestic creature represents celebrated human qualities in a very subtle way:

The elephant tusks – Dexterity
Paws of a lion – Strength
Body of a fish – Movement
Teeth and Jaws of a crocodile – Demand for respect
Eyes of a Monkey – Vision
Ears of a Boar – Acute hearing
Tail of a Bird/Peacock – Splendid Beauty

Hidden in the background behind a clash of shapes and color this majestic beast has made the Sri Lankan traditional art it’s home in very subtle ways that not many actually notice it’s presence, therefor faces a great threat of extinction.

I'm Aishwarya Tennekoon @tenaiworkshop , a passionate sculptor and miniaturist based in Sri Lanka and this diorama is a conceptual remake of the Makara according to my perspective, designed and made as a tribute to the traditional mythical character. The diorama depicts a scene which the Makara protecting an ancient Sri Lankan stupa filled with valuable relics of Buddha from the raging enemies.

It took 27 days to complete this 1/100 scale diorama. The creature along with the stupa has been sculpted using home made cold pressed porcelain because it was hard to find other clay materials locally due to the pandemic situation and the podium(Stone Platform) of the stupa was made of plastic boards. You can watch the process of making this piece if interested: https://youtu.be/8c3z8-0cFAI

Hope you enjoy this majestic creature!

Evasive Species: Creating the Sasquatch

Dan Chudzinski — Mon, 12 Jul 2021 13:46:01 +0000

Over the course of the past year and a half, in order to keep myself busy during the isolation of the COVID-19 pandemic, I embarked on the most technically demanding project of my artistic career. Before the lockdown, I was invited to create an original sculpture for an exhibition titled Enchanted: A History of Fantasy Illustration at the Norman Rockwell Museum (link below). On March 13, 2020, lockdown issues had been ordered in Ohio and the exhibition was delayed for a year. Over the course of the next year, I would gain a new appreciation/disdain for the term "social distancing" as I began spending more time with Bigfoot than any member of my immediate family/social circle.

https://www.nrm.org/2021/05/enchanted-a-history-of-fantasy-illustration/

The finished piece, titled Evasive Species pushed me well past my comfort zone and forced me to become a stronger (and much stranger) artist. During this time, the tutorials from Stan Winston School of Character Arts provided much needed guidance and company in the studio. It is my great privilege, to share the finished piece with the SWSCA community now!

And now that you've seen the final product, here's a glimpse into the creative process that brought him to fruition . . .The early foam armature for the head, next to death masks from a gorilla and orangutan. The maquette to the right was the initial concept for a full figure, which was later changed to a bust due to space restrictions at the venue.

The full-size clay bust, in-progress.
And a shot of me posing with the clay sculpt for scale reference . . .

Next, a fiberglass mold is made. After many layers of resin and glass the mold is pried apart. The original clay sculpt was destroyed in the process, but the mold was successful.

After demolding, cleaning, and patching seams, the paint job begins.

The tedious process of hair punching took 117 hours.

You can take a look at a 360 video of the final sculpt here, as well as more videos and process photos at Dan Chudzinski Studio on Instagram:

Thank you to everyone for taking the time to view my work!

Best of luck to everyone in the competition!

Orca of Nature

Escaron — Fri, 30 Jul 2021 17:21:12 +0000

When you are out walking about and come across a hill, have you ever pondered upon the fact that it may not just be a assemblage of earth and rock overgrown by nature? Have you ever questioned that it might be something entirely else? Maybe even a dormant whale that over the years slowly has been covered by flowers, shrubs, trees and other greenery. Then how did it get there, you might ask. Easy. It swam. Through the air. For whom decided that it is only possible to swim in water? No one these orcas listen to anyway.

The nature orcas were once ordinary whales, but one day they became curious about the sky and simply decided to leave their seas. And they have never once regret it. Now they live in both sea and sky, unbound and free. However, swimming through the air is more exausting than underwater as air is thinner, so the orcas occasionally land on the ground and go dormant for a few hundred years while their strenght return. This is when nature slowly takes over, covering them so that they eventually cant be discerned. When the orcas awaken again, fully rested, they once more take to the heavens looking like fantastic floating islands. Seeing a nature orca sail across the sky is an unforgettable sight that I wish everyone could experience at some point.

So the next time you pass a hill or climb a height think about what you now know, that it may not be "just a piece of ordinary nature" - because under the layers of moss and roots there may very well be something else, something slumbering in wait to one day wake up and return to the sky.🌳🐋🌟

Me and my Art:
My name is Linda aka Ecaron Arts and this here is my Orca of Nature. Nature and animals has always been a big, important part of my life, its there and with them I feel the most at home and from where I get a lot of my inspiration. With this piece I wanted to create something that show our precious planets life, show the harmony in wich animals and nature co-excist and how beautiful it is. Something we need to protect.

Made:
I made this guy completely out of the polymer clay Super Sculpey (except the eyes that are beads). I first made a base out of tin foil and then sculpted over that. Everything is made by hand, the tiny foliage proving to be a real challenge both for my fingers and patience haha. After baked I then painted him with acrylics. The orca itself also has a glossy coat to look wet like a real orca coming out of the water and with the help of an acrylic rod he "float" in the air above a wooden, nature gown plaque. The sculpture stand 37cm tall (14.6 inches) and 25cm long (9.8 inches).

Thank you for having a look!

"skekMal - The Hunter" - 1:2,5 scale model

Lisa Riegel — Fri, 30 Jul 2021 16:43:33 +0000

As I am a huge fan of "The Dark Crystal" and the skeksis I got highly inspired when the series came out. The impuls I felt while watching it was, oh WOW I have to rebulid the costume of skekMal! I totally felt in love with this character and as I am a part time cosplayer, THIS was what I wanted to create next. To challenge myself again to the next level.

I am a professional sculptor and fabricator from germany. Beneath the work I do for film I sculpt my own little creatures or do fanart. This model of skekMal (scale 1:2,5) was the first part I wanted to finish, to start with the progress of rebuilding the (wo)man-in-suit character. I will use it as a model for the big head I will wear with the costume. And as a fine-art artist this was just the perfect piece to get into the project.

For sculpting I used monsterclay and loads of tini-tiny tools to get the details as close to the original as possible. I sculpted him shortly after the series came out, so it was really hard to find good reference pictures. Another challenge I enjoyed. For the cast I build a silicone matrix-mold. Final material is PU-resin. For the paint I used airbrush and WICKED colors from createx. Finishing the paint with Liquitex matte medium. The eyes are handpainted in several layers and so freakin' small ^^

For scale I took a picture with my FAVORITE tool! THE TOOTHBRUSH! Master of smoothness ♥ I can highly recommed to get a collection of them, when working with plasticine, haha (and when you feel the need of brushing your teeth after working days and night without sleeping)... This is the way!

Bloated Mutant - From Anomie - Creature Sculpting Contest 2021 - Entry 4

Tomas Mc — Fri, 30 Jul 2021 19:33:21 +0000

One of my favourite all-time sculpts. It was so much fun creating all the tumors and bloated skin. I've always enjoyed sculpting "larger" forms, and this really showed me how much I'd improved in the 3 years I'd been sculpting. The first time I tried a larger character, it was not pretty! I think this came out quite well.

It's a mutated human, that exists in my universe of Anomie.

1/6th scale - Monster Clay.

The Seer of the Waning Moon

Olivier Villoingt — Sat, 31 Jul 2021 09:59:49 +0000

Sculpted with Monsterclay gray - Size: 8.2in

Since time immemorial, the Seer of the Waning Moon knows all, sees all, visible or invisible, tangible or not, she perceives the Web of Wyrd.
On rare occasions, she whispers answers to those who seek wisdom and who know how to listen, or
dream.
It is said that during her many visions, the marks on her back move, intertwining and forming signs that only the most gifted Oracles can read.
However, for reasons still unknown, they all fear the day when the marks will cover her entire body...

Undead Warlord

Frédéric Wajeman — Sun, 18 Jul 2021 23:38:00 +0000

Hello

This character is a personal creation imagined and modeled on computer by Bruno Câmara https://www.artstation.com/brunocamara with the software Z brush, then printed in 3D and painted for fun by Frédéric Wajeman https://www.fxdeco.com and https://www.lifesizestatuehd.com. Its manufacture required 5 weeks of work for two people + the time of computer modeling. The sculpture was made in full size. It is 61 in x 37 in wide x 24 in thick. Its weight is about 33lb. A central frame makes it possible to stabilize and maintain the different parts that make up the character. About fifty digital files have been prepared and printed in PLA which is the main material for FDM 3D printing. The pieces were sanded, coated, painted with steel powder to reproduce rust. Oxidation was carried out with acid and water. A patina was made in order to age the whole and highlight the metal. A wax was applied to stabilize the oxidation. The clothes were purchased, adapted, worn and patinated to age them.

torokbrooks@hotmail.com — Tue, 27 Jul 2021 16:53:26 +0000

Hey, my name's Thomas. I've been sculpting for a few years now, dabbling with Chavant and Monster Clay and I think I've definitely come a long way since I began.
So before I talk about this guy, I need to say that I sculpt monsters because of my lifelong love for 80s movie creatures and my dream to create my own through the same classic techniques.
I've been meaning to sculpt this design for a while and now I've had the chance. A lot has been getting in the way, hence the slightly unfinished leg. I simply couldn't get the time so I have to post as is I'm afraid.
The concept for this design was an early one for a Sci-Fi/Horror project I'm currently writing and hope to film soon. I plan to make more maquettes when I can square enough away, but for now, I'm so glad to get this guy out of the way. I'm rather delighted with how he came out, despite it being of a prototype creature design.
They have a proper name now, which I hope is ok keeping to myself for now, but you can all know him by his draft name, Globule!
Hope you guys like them https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VWbx6sqMGI8 !

Sil inpsired creature from the movie Species

Xaveria dmf — Wed, 28 Jul 2021 18:24:21 +0000

Sil inspired creature from the movie Species. I went for an organic approach since Sil is a mixture of an alien dna code and that of a human. So I felt it was interesting to go with this rather then going with a xenomorph look yet recognizable.
I had lots of fun creating this and designed it as I went on. I didn't made it for this contest but now that it is in pre-mold state and ready as far as sculpting goes I thought why not enter and show it to you guys.

A bit about me, I started sculpting a bit over a year ago and loving it very much and learning as I go.

Dragon emerging from volcano

BlackOvni — Wed, 28 Jul 2021 13:43:55 +0000

Hi everybody!

My name is Anna and this is my entry for the contest! Hope you like it!

I decided to sculpt a dragon, particularly for this contest. I started about two weeks ago and below I'm showing some steps in the process. I sketched up a design I though looked cool. I decided to only use it as an "idea" for the sculpture which means I did freestyle and changed a bit making the figure itself. Two photos are from the unpainted product and below them you find one of the "test-paint" overlays in Photoshop, which shows the colour scale I planned to use. Below is the finished product.

I recorded the process too and intend to make it into a video later on for my one week old YouTube-channel, which currently only has one video... (But you can check it out there --> https://www.youtube.com/channel/UClBbsTTV0Jz7eqn-TdENAMA )
