Here's my version of Joe Sargent from H.P. Lovecraft's The Shadow Over Innsmouth. This is a lifesize silicone bust with punched hair, clothing, and custom resin eyes.

I sculpted this in WED clay. It's cast in Smooth-On Dragon Skin back-filled with flexible expanding foam. To paint it, I mixed my own silicone paints using Silc Pig, Psycho Paint, and Sil-Poxy from Smooth-On. The eyes are cast in epoxy resin and hand painted. Although I had used silicone plenty of times for mold making, this was my first time casting a finished piece in silicone. Before starting on it, I think I binged about a week's worth of SWSCA videos.

Thanks for looking!
