Poisonous Thoughts

Sometimes the darkest parts of the human mind possess a deadly life of their own...

An original-design concept drawing for an upcoming feature-length horror movie I'm working on. Micron pen on paper. This will soon be a fully articulated puppet, one of many nightmarish beings destined for an appearance in the film. More details to come as production gets nearer, stay tuned!!

This rules. Really striking style, reminds me of Dave Allsop's work. Do you happen to know how you're going to approach the bristles yet? I'm working on human /spider hybrid sculpt, and am hoping to punch the final cast with some tapering, finger-length black bristles.

Thanks a lot Dan, that’s a hell of a compliment (sweet MTG Abomination profile pic by the way)! The head will be foam latex, so for the large bristles on the back of the neck I think I’ll punch in stripped chicken feathers painted black. The arachnid head-limbs will probably be Sculpey, and I think I’m going to sculpt tiny pores into them where I can glue individual hairs. Probably a huge pain in the ass haha, but I really think hairs are crucial to the creepiness of skittery arachnid limbs... Definitely wanna see that hybrid sculpt when you’re finished, thanks again!

Wow, that really is coming along nicely.
