No post in over a week!!!!

2011-08-15T16:12:00.000-07:00

Well its been over a week since my last post I told myself I would not do that but her goes . This is a sculpt from a Disney movie "Meet the Robersons" I go to Disney every year and if Im lucky they have some of the maquettes on display from past movies. I had to sneak a few photos of the maquette (they dont allow pictures) but as soon as I saw him I wanted to sculpt him .He is about the size of a baseball I only got as far as the head ,but at least that is done.
another view of the head I still have not forgotten that I would post pics of the week I was sculpting different skulls

Goofy Frankenstein

This is a basically finished Frankenstein piece. The head was based off of a sketch by Jeff Solway check his blog he does great work! this piece is over 12 inches tall. Im trying to do things smaller Less silicone less resin less cost! You can see in the picture the head has been primed but the body has not. you can also see where I have been sanding the sculpt it gets a little chalky looking. I knew I had more franky pieces next week I will show the 5 days I was sculpting different skulls !!!!

Hitler!

I hope no one get offended by this, but here goes this is a Hitler head that I did it was based on a cartoon I saw on the net . I did another head that I will post after this one again the head was done kind of quick took a few hours then you fire it then sand and see it there are any spots that need to be patched, now I also have to say that I work on the heads first . Then I make a armature for the body shaping it into different positions to find the right pose. I will post some pictures of that process very soon

frankenstein heads part two!

2011-07-26T17:57:00.001-07:00

These are a few franky heads I designed they are sculpted in a mix of supersculpty and sculpty firm they are about 2 1/2 inches high.

I dont consider myself a designer but I take elements from here and there. if you notice the one on the right has sort of a flintstones mouth going on. I sculpted him then turned around and re sculpted him smaller. I will show a pic of that later I do that quite a bit sculpt something then realize that the kit or statute would be 14 inches tall!!! i think i still have more frankys to come!

Heres a few heads I did from some awesome artwork of all different child actors I dont have permission to show the art but I can show the sculpts. I had a really good time sculpting these two heads I really loved sculpting the alfalfa head I may do him as a full sculpt or a bust. I worked a little on his jacket ,but got lost on new projects!

More New stuff!!! Swampthing!!

2010-02-07T16:06:00.000-08:00

This is another piece I was working on was being the word you see I based it on another statue then changed my mind and tore it all apart!!! it no longer has the head and I will break the arms off to repostion them such as life!!

2010-02-07T13:49:00.000-08:00

Ok here is something a little different he is a comic character from "Tales of the zombie"
a great comic book from the 70s?? he will end up as just a bust hes sitting on the shelf right now with alot of other sculpts I need to get back too.

2010-02-07T13:43:00.000-08:00

Wow its been awhile!!!!!
I know almost a year with no new posts!! thats a shame I know but I promise to post more stuff

Heads from the box!!! Part two!!

2009-04-09T15:52:00.000-07:00

Heads from the box part two
this head is a from a banned cartoon called the "ducktators" I based it off the model sheet below I plan to do the pose with the arm up I even have a armature ready to go but a few things got in the way . Thats one of the great things about the box you can just go back and pick the next project you want to do cause the head is ready to go now thats not to say I dont take a project from start to finish its just sometimes I get sidetracked!
this is the model sheet I based the the head off as you can tell I moved the hitler hair across the head instead of in front of the eyes I think it looked better ohh as for the model sheet again it was from a great web site cartoons modelsheets &stuff the site is http://toonsculptor.blogspot.com/
another view of the hitler duck I hope people dont find this in bad taste I really dont think alot of the so called banned cartoons were done with malice
yet another view I thing he will look very nice painted up and when he is finished he should stand about 9 inches tall I would love to find out who has the rights to this I think alot of these banned cartoons would make great pre paint statues

Heads from the box!!!

2009-04-09T15:23:00.000-07:00

Ok another post wow im on a roll Im calling this " heads from the box" you see it all starts with the heads most of the time. sometimes I just like to see if I can "get" a charactor it can be anyone from the one you see here to Barney Rubble now this sculpt is one of My favorite looney tunes villians some might rememeber him from "water water every hare" a classic cartoon google it Im sure its on the net ! it is hillarious !!the head is about 3 1/2 inches high done in a mix of supersculpty and firm sculpty
another view of the mad sciencentist you can see a few diviots in the sculpt they will be filled in in the finishing stage sometimes I can sculpt a head in a short period of time then sanding and finished takes a little more time ohh and this head is one of the many in the box. I had a friend come over and ask "whats with all the heads?" I may take a picture of the tv stand that houses most(but not all) of the heads
yet another view SCIENCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! on a side note Im listening to a old song by a 80s band Saga have you ever let your itunes just do a random songs and discover a song you never heard and fell in love with it! it just happened. the song Saga "times up" from "words apart" I have listen to it seven times !!!

This is some great artwork by Kali Fontecchio I have been admiring her work for some time now,and if you have not seen her work go to her site at http://kalikazoo.blogspot.com/she does some really great stuff anywho I saw this piece and loved it and immediately got some clay out its kind of rough and loose its not exact but very fun to do on a lazy saturday afternoon I emailed her about it and I hope she does not get mad about posting her work again this was done in super sculpty hes about 4 inches tall I may make a base for him im not sure

heres another veiw of the boy I think I need to make his hair a little higher but like I said I wanted to get the feel for the charactor

lil eight ball

2009-03-18T07:48:00.000-07:00

This is a sculpt Im working on done in supersculpty of a rare character called "lil eight ball"

I got the model sheet from a great site called "cartoons model sheets and stuff http://klangley.blogspot.com/

he stands about 6 inches tall and needs to be cleaned up a bit more then primed and molded

2009-03-01T15:29:00.000-08:00

This is a close up of Bandana girl again she needs more sanding and a shot of primer to pull it all together then she can be molded and sent to the painters

Bandana girl!

2009-03-01T15:16:00.000-08:00

ok this being the first pictures of one of the pieces Im working on this is bandana girl. Shes about 10 inches tall she looks kinda funny because hers arms have been cut off to mold her easier she needs more work ,more sanding This is the type of work I love the type of bigger head wasp-like body just overall a fun piece to do, she is sculpted in a mix of super sculpty and firm grey sculpty
