New hybrid creature concept

Here is a new creature i sculpted last night. Trying to work on forms and character, going for a hybrid character incorporating reptillian pieces from lizards and gators. This is a 1/2 scale piece 2hr study

Freakshow mini-bust

Here comes the Freakshow. A deformed creature with his own sadness trying to survive. This is my new mini-bust i am currently working on. The front of the base has been fixed so i can attach a separate plaque. This way i can insure the quality of the lettering. I need to do a little more detailing on the head then i will be molding this boy.

Here is the plaque i will be molding

Alien mini-bust

Here is the alien creature mini-bust with a base added and detailed. I will be molding next week

Michael Myers

I have been working more on my drawing and sketching skills and am trying to get back into illustration. Here is an airbrush painting i finished recently on canvas. I feel that my control and textures have greatly improved since my last pieces due to my work and knowledge on painting masks and layering skin tones. There will be more to come.

Painting a halloween mask

Here is a new alien mask i finished painting. I took some pictures along the way.

Here is the finished sculpt of my alien character.

My first step was a base coat of blue, then i did a noodling pattern with a darker blue shown above.

Next i did the same with a violet. With every new color i use i do the noodling and then go in and add shadows and more depth to the features.

Here are a few more images

The next step is to do a tight noodling of white over the entire mask. (Sorry i forgot to get a detail shot after i painted this step.)

Below are finished images of my new mask. The last steps are to take the original blue color used as a base coat and put a thin layer over my white layer to give transparency to the skin.
I put a clear coat over the whole mask, then for painting the eyes i did a base of yellow and used a brush to add the red veining to the sides. I airbrushed the pupils black and outlined with white. The final touch was to add five minute epoxy to the eyes, nose, and mouth. The five minute epoxy will make the eyes look wet and alive.

Monster mania con august 2009

Just got back from monster mania 2009. This year i had a booth to myself and overall had a great experience.

This is my original setup. It started this way on friday evening. By the end of the day and the weekend i put out a lot more masks covering the table.

Here are two of the newest masks i finished. The two aliens on the ends are my new favorite and i got a lot of good comments from people on them.

I got comments from being original with my designs. I spoke with Bob from fuckedupstuff.com, kreation x (pictured below), the guy in charge of the national haunters convention, guy in charge of monsterpalooza and a few others. I got my work out there and got some connections.

Here are some other interesting setups i saw this weekend.

Another sketch i completed while i was at the show, considering trying to make a t-shirt in the future.

This convention was great for me, i met some great people and did saw some people i already knew again. Here are a couple other artists i met with that i think do great work.

Female werewolf from figure drawing

Here is the finished sculpture for my wolf mask i started last week at my figure drawing session. The overall feeling is stronger in this version.

On tuesday i moved onto Julia. I brought some reference pictures of wolves and tried to get a likeness of her into a wolf. Here is the progress so far.
