Alien bust

Just a sculpey bust I whipped up the other night.  I had gotten a few hundred ball bearings in the post so I wanted to use them.  While I was making it I was thinking that I need to make something totally not human in its make up.  But that everything is head and shoulders and legs n arms.  I will find something else.  A different structure for a being.  I guess Ill have a closer look at aquatic creatures.  Cuttlefish and octopi, sea slugs and caterpillars, shrimp too.  Yes!

Anyway, here is a sculpture.  Im almost ready to start painting them...all.

Mr Damien Brown animation

This was a quick tune banged out one night from Tidy Kid for a buddy.  The animation is of the fellow the song mentions.  The animation tries to capture some of the character of the real person.  The animation was started as a quick project but was left for about 1-2 years.  I finally got around to finishing it. In total it probably took around 40hrs to complete with lot of procrastination in between.

This weeks sculptures

Here are a few sculptures for this week.  I wanted to do some sort of monkey creature with lots of eyes and no ears.  So I did, I drew a few variations first then went in and sculpted the creatures head.  As I was sculpting it I found I didnt know much about how a monkey looks so, I decided to sculpt a chimp.  Using reference images, I created a chimpanzee study which I will, later on, create a body for.
Another day, I did a few drawings of a goblin which I was to sculpt in Zbrush.  I figured I would work it out in clay too as a preliminary.  So, the hooded head you see below is a goblin sculpture which took about 30-45mins to complete.
I also did a little quadruped creature who has some sort of large moth like insect on its bum.

Quick bust

Here is another quick bust.  Took about 1hr 30mins.  Water based clay.

NSP finally!

I have had this block of NSP laying around for a bit now. Finally picked it up and made something from it.

Quick sculpture

This one was done in water based clay, white earthenware its called.  It took 1hr 30min.  I love how fast water clay can be worked.  Im trying to get my speed down to around 45mins to create something decent.  So this week I plan to bang out a pile of water clay sculpts with the aim of speed form and proportion.

A super sculpey bust

So this guy, I didnt know what he was going to be at all through out the whole creation of it. I started out with a coat hanger, bending it around until I said, Ok a bust you will be then. Then I couldnt work out what kind of posture I wanted...then I loaded up some clay and figured I would go with a simple humanoid but with a bit of something going on. I wanted an odd nose, couldnt work out how odd. After a few noses I thought of how bat noses are quite wacky sometimes. So I went with that thought.
