David Assel — Wed, 18 Jan 2017 14:02:45 +0000

The Monster of disproportionate lengths is here! Years of seclusion have left him lonely and in search of somebody like him. But will he find his Bride? The Monster still demands a mate!

I sculpted my interpretation of Frankenstein's Monster out of Castiline wax, wire, metal (bolts), twine, and included tiny pieces of fabric for his patches. The behemoth looms 14" tall. Please check out my other posts.Thanks for viewing. -David Assel

* Creature Sculpting Contest Winner Announcement *

Chris Ellerby — Mon, 30 Jan 2017 22:23:58 +0000

Hey Creature Sculptors,

Thanks to all of you who participated in our Creature Sculpting Contest! Your entries showed off a huge range of techniques and styles, mediums and materials, and it's exciting for us at SWSCA to be reminded of our community's depth of talent. We wish we could award everyone the Grand Prize, but alas, there can be only one. Ladies and gentlemen, without further ado, it's our pleasure to announce our Creature Sculpting Contest winner, Lucas "Elenem" Morawski for his creation ANURAG'ANAN, the protector of all nature.

Combining elements of both an elephant and a turtle, Morawski's sculpture succeeds on multiple levels. As a moment of storytelling, as an excellent example of realistic textural and anatomical variety, and as a highly original work of art that sparks the imagination and invites a closer look.

Congratulations, Lucas! We look forward to seeing much more of your artwork in the future, and we hope you enjoy your Grand Prize package!

The Runner-Up:

We love dynamic sculptures that tell a story, and Cleyton Oliveira's SAMURAI VS. CREATURES does this perfectly, placing us in the center of the action alongside a Samurai warrior, trapped on a stone out-cropping as he desperately slices through an advancing horde of nightmare creatures.

Cleyton's attention to detail, keen grasp of movement, and ability to capture a story moment make this another stand-out entry. Congratulations Cleyton! We want to see this movie!! Enjoy your Runner-Up Prize Package below:

Creature Sculting Contest- Satyr

Michelle Pulaski — Thu, 19 Jan 2017 05:20:51 +0000

The head and torso were sculpted in Super Sculpey polymer clay over a wire armature. The arms and legs are sculpted in Magic sculpt epoxy clay. The fur on the legs was applied in sections over cured epoxy clay to extend the working time while texturing the hair. A fine wire armature was inserted into the already baked head and horns sculpted in epoxy clay.Painting was done in acrylic paints, both airbrush and hand painting was used. The broken tree base was sculpted in epoxy clay with a peg extending up into the sculpture so that no support is visible attaching the sculpt to the base.

Creature Sculpture Contest

Gilbert Espino — Mon, 05 Dec 2016 01:06:05 +0000

Fantastic Four Costume

My brother and I made this costume as well. It was made for Halloween costume contest at night clubs, bars, and cons. This costume took us a year to make including planning. We never seen one costume include an entire super hero team, so we decided to make it. It was difficult planning where all the character went and how they are combined together. This costume stood over 9 feet tall and was designed for Johnny to come off so we can get it through doors. The thing was made with upholstery cushions and the helmet was made with EVA foam. The rest of the team was made with paper mache. The bodies are connected together with PVC pipes covered with pipe insulation. The upper part of the costume sit on the shoulder like a trombone. The details in the face were done with plumbers epoxy. The costume was painted with spray paint and airbrush.

Australian Myth "The Min Min Light"

Jamie-reine Mazlin — Mon, 02 Jan 2017 20:40:02 +0000

-The Min Min Light-
The Min Min light is an Australian light phenomenon that is shrouded in mystery. It's a floating ball of light that sometimes follows you and is said that if you follow it you will never be seen again. Some towns in Australia, it is so common to see a Min Min light that they have warning signs put up to alert outsiders not to follow the lights.

With a fascination of these light phenomenon, I created this creature. A creature I could see luring it victims to a mysterious fate. This creature sculpture is fully poseable and as you can see, glows in the dark.

Famous person likeness

Jason Cope — Wed, 18 Jan 2017 03:26:16 +0000

This was a recent likeness I made for an attraction. I was very privileged to be able to create this head from start to finish. Even got to do the hair punching which is still new to me.You may know who it is, and you may have seen this in person! But I'm not allowed to say much about it yet.

Creature Sculpting Contest

Aarón Ximello jaime — Sun, 15 Jan 2017 06:31:13 +0000

Hi, this is my job. First appears Lavinia Whateley made in latex, filled with flexible polyurethane foam, resin eyes, monofilament like hair, painted with latex and acrylics. Dimensions: 42cm x 21cm x 29cm. Then the severed head of the Zombie Saponified (inspired by Well Walker of The Walking Dead) made of latex foam, 46cm x 26cm x 30cm, has details such as acrylic teeth, resin eyes, 1x1 applied Kanekalon hair, polyurethane foam filling and mounted on wood base. Both sculpted in oil clay of very poor quality (school clay model Baco), molded in ultracal 30. We always have problems getting materials in my city, everything must be bought online and it is very expensive, a kit of materials for sculpture would help me Very much ... (sorry for my bad English) L
