SILENT HILL nurse and her minions. *big image dump*

[CENOBITE]

This was done as a birthday present for my girlfriend who absolutely loves Silent Hill. I came up with an interesting idea that made something not seen in the videogames that I think would be pretty cool, a "bubble head" nurse with a pack of grey children / mumblers on a leash.

The concept sketch with primed figures

finished super sculpy figures baked and sanded. As you can see... I probably could of done much more to these, but time was of the essence. I test videogames for a living, and don't have much free time after working 10 hours a day. :( But keeping it rough kept with the essence of it instead of super-slick.

and finished/painted piece attached to a bamboo base to help with the illusion of an old school or hospital floor.

close ups

after painting a coat of gloss acrylic, it just didn't look 'squishy' enough, so I dipped them in poly-uh, shoot. polysomthing, stuff you finish your furniture with.

slightly disturbing close up of a grey mumbler. I like how the eye socket naturally has some dark ooze coming out of it (happy little accidents). I actually didn't use any black paint... just mixes of browns, blues and reds.

here you can see better the bamboo floor stained and scratched up to look old. Bits and pieces from old architecture buildings, pieces of chinchilla alfalfa in acrylic and some real blood to finish the look (I had a nosebleed and took advantage of the situation... so there really is a little of me in this!)

Oh, and this isn't too big, probably 1:8th scale


and here is before I attached them to the base and added the final varnish. Awwww... they LIKE her!

Hey im a fan of Silent hill to and seems you've done it justice..looks all slimy and gritty...good job..i hope your GF enjoyed it.

[CENOBITE]

Ah thanks! Yah, this one is inspired directly from Silent Hill 2 rather than the film. They were all dry and leathery in the film... I tend to like the gelatinous gooey look of the game.

have to agree with you, too much sanding and sleekness would have spoil the mood for this one! really like the speed of things and the final colouring!! the posing of the nurse is also spot on!!!
gave me goose bumps...from looking at the little grey mumblers...

if you've got more time, i guess a good use of some transparent materials, eg. a more carcass like paint of some of the area on the nurse as base paint and use some translucent sheet, heat up and push to stick to the sculpt and paint over it... that will give the skin more depth or just use layers of clear acrylic paint mix with transparent colours!! nice to "see-thru" the thick transparent paint to a hint of a face....eeeeeeeyikes
