Sculpting Monsters - Many Pics

[joemomma]

Hey guys, This is the kind of stuff I like to make when I go to my 'happy place.'

I've been sculpting for a little over a year now, still got a lot to learn but here's a few pieces that I'm not too embarrassed by.

A different view of the ghoul from my avatar:

Sculpted in water based clay and then molded and cast in latex. painted with airbrush, brush and sponge.

A prosthetic zombie makeup I did on Mrs. Momma:

Sculpted in oil based clay over a cast of her face and then molded and cast with foam latex. I glued the foam piece to her face and then painted using airbrush makeup - Gotta love the Mrs. it took 3 1/2 hours to put that on her.

A different zombie makeup I did on her, just colors. (the eyes are photoshopped - contact lenses be expensive!)

These next two are a sculpt I did for a leatherface mask. It was inspired by the mask fro Texas Chainsaw Massacre II but instead of making all the slices of face from guys the chunk on the side is from a girl:

Here's a goblin that was cast in latex except for the teeth, they were sculpted separately and cast in dental acrylic.

Let me know what you guys think and if you want to see more.

Are their any other sculptors on here?

[jesus3]

nice and scary.did you make those sculpt.for some movies or just for your pleasure?btw i will see more.

 

[joemomma]

Thanks for the comments and encouragement! I'll post up more pics later.

Most of these were done for personal pleasure, I do some special effects work for films though, just low budget independant stuff but fun so far.

fdd, I'd be more than willing to trade the goblin for just a small amount of your herbal powers! The force is strong with you!

Here's a couple more bits of my fiendish endeavors.

My daughter in a prosthetic vampire makeup I did, made those teeth too.

This is a sculpt for a zombie makeup from a film I worked on. The makeup never got applied because the scene was never shot.

A regular ol human type guy I sculpted for practice:

Here's the sculpt for a prop from a zombie movie, I call her "Ripped up Rachel"

Hope you folks like! Oh yeah, anybody spot the bag of nug in my first post of this thread?

Then do it! There is no such thing is talent, it's all learned skills limited only by your desire to do it well.

A friend was over looking at my stuff and he said "Man I wish I could make stuff like that." and I told him that the reason he couldn't make stuff like this is because wishes don't come true. You have to want it.

Here's my advice, go get some clay, sculpt something, anything. Take a good honest look at what you've sculpted. Does it really look like what you were trying to make? Do you want to make another sculpture and have it turn out better than the one before? THe answer to the first question does not matter, it's a learning tool for yourself. If the answer to the second question is yes the Congratulations! You are a wanter and not a wisher!

Ask people to critique your work and listen to them. (But not your mom) Mom's tend to have a higher appreciation for their childrens creation. When you ask for a critique if the person is your friend don't ask "What do you think" cuz they will say something like that's "That's cool!" Instead ask them "what's wrong with this thing?" they will be more objective that way and won't be so worried about hurting your feelings

Most importantly have fun! Now go get that clay and make something cool!

Ahh... that would be cool, maybe 20 years ago. I have a few friends and acquaintances that do this kinda stuff for big movies. It's an extremely tough career. The competition is huge, there's way more guys that are good at this stuff than there are jobs, CGI has really cut into this field too and will more than likely keep cutting.

I've had a blast working on the little films I have done but not sure that's really were I want to take my stuff. I'm kickin around a few ideas for turning this into something I can do for a living though.
