[smellybug]

Heya;
Here's another one from the vaults. Maybe a little bit Dark Crystal influenced? Never before seen!

*Scroll down to see the unpainted original

fucking love it, that's all...just fucking love it, love the movie, and love it, thank you post more now

[smellybug]

oh, this was just a personal project...it wasn't in any movie. glad you like it though.

[el coro]

haha! i had this image on my desktop for months! i love this one petey...-c36

[cos]

Awesome, I really like the variety of texture you have gotten into it, from his chest to arm to stomach. All has a slightly different feel which makes it so much more interesting.

Would love to see some more shots of this.

[eli]

Wow, this is really cool. so whats your process to color it? I think you said b-4 that you sculpt, then bring a photo into Pshop and color it? Or did you just paint it...

either way, this is too dope. And this IS my desktop now. thanks mang!

[walking-in-minefield]

i no this wasn't from the movie smelly bug, but i was saying how much i love the movie(dark crystal) and again this thing kicks ass, i'd love to just be able to make something this cool and just sit it on the floor over looking my bed so when i wake up i get a faceful full of evil monster, with an eating problem, again i love it(and could you give it to me as a favor??).......yeah right, i wish

[Stonepilot]

Man that's just bad ass. I hope you don' do 3d as well than I'd be out of a job is I was going for the same job.

[Ant4d]

[Kress]

[JoshuaTheJames]

have you ever thought of something more permanent?

Marble or Bronze?

[WildSpruceMoose]

Damn that's cool. Love the details and the other-wordly look.

[alti]

awsome textures along the chest as well.

[behemot5]

more more more more more

[NHansen]

wow. I took a sculpting class a year or two ago, and I have no idea how you are so good. But well... you are. Great job smelly.

[Kortez]

Absolutely gorgeous design and the detail is mindblowing!

:bow:

Flattery will get you everywhere...thanks!

Hanson
Thanks man. Post some of your stuff!

Behemot
Ok ok ok

Alti
The nostrils where a definite Barlowe rip off.

Joshua
Yes, I'd like to do some metal casting...but not with monster stuff. I have some wierd fine art ideas I'd like to get cast in bronze or maybe aluminum. Too expensive for my budget right now though.

F*ck'n A.

This was an early photoshop paint test. That's why it looks a little funny. It does to me at least. The original is just an primer gray painted thing on the shelf.

Cos
Don't have any other pics of it, but I'll put up more stuff soon

Ant
In real life it's not so impressive. Just a little 9 inch tall bust type thing. No color or anything. The back side isn't even a finished sculpt. Ahh, the magic of computers. Here's a picture of the thing in real life...sad isn't it?

[walking-in-minefield]

mmmhh... clicked back here just for the fuck of it, and i've found new shots, and what's this shit about it not being impressive, christ man this is so good, anyways, really like to see some more works from you, i know you've got around somewhere so post em' already ok

This is some absolutely fantastic stuff.

I sculpt a bit as a hobby from time to time but I've recently been slacking. Your work makes me want to break out the clay again.

BTW, what material do you prefer to use? Currently I use super sculpey and I would like to try chavant, but I cant seem to find a decent place to purchase it from. Plus theres so many different kinds of Chavant that I'm not sure what to get.

Then, of course there's armatures.. thats where I get lazy.

[smellybug]

Turqy:
Yeah, Super Sculpy is the shit. You might want to try adding a little Sculpy III to it to change the color. I recently started doing that and it helps. If the translucent pink color bugs you you can add a little Sculpy III white and some other color to it to make it more opaque or more appropriate to your subject matter.
Google a company called Douglas and Sturgess. They're here in SF, but will mail out. For something relatively small, I'd recommend Chavant cm50. Cm70 is good too, but I find it a little hard for my taste. Anyway.... maybe I'll put up a simple armature tutorial sometime. It's pretty easy, but also worth doing right. Good luck, thanks for the comment.

[behemot5]

you should have a section only for your works...i'm not a sculpturor and i know nothing about sculptures but you are really incredible......

[battlemonkey]

OMG the textures are amazing!!! damn... some people just make it look so easy! whats the size of the sculpture? always a great source of inspiration for us little people!
geez, thats goin into my "i gotta sculpt like this someday" folder...
