Here’s the second piece of robot makeup.  The red LEDs flash.  I’ll let Tom and Pete decide who’s getting which one ;0)

Here’s a cast of the robot makeup with an LED in place. I might add one or two others.

Here’s the second piece of makeup for the Measure of a Man music video.

The plan is to have a bunch of wires and flashing LEDs hanging out the eye socket.

Started working on the wing.  Looking abit Icarus-y at the minute.

I’m finishing off the robot makeup at the moment as we’ll be shooting the final parts of the Measure of a Man music video this coming saturday, so I need to hurry up!

I’m making plaster molds of the sculpture which’ll then be used to cast up gelatin appliances. I’ll be wiring up some LEDs which’ll be hanging out the makeup, flashing away.

Here’s some more pictures of the sculpture.  The angel is now finsihed and I’ve cooked both the angel and the cloak in place using a heat gun as they wouldn’t fit in the oven!

Here’s a pic of the cloak now cooked.  Got abit carried away with the heatgun in certain parts!

Here’s a video showing the angel and demon sculpture…..

The demon sculpture is now more or less finished apart from the tentacles that will be bursting from it’s body. I’ve mostly been concentrating on the details of the hands and feet which can be quite fiddly given the size of the sculpture.

The sculpture’s made from a polymer clay which can be hardened by cooking it in a standard domestic oven. I made the hands to be detachable so that I could work on them separately and cook them in advance of the main sculpture. This is because it can be very easy to get your hand looking perfect then accidentally whack it whilst working on another part of the sculpture and destroy all the fine detail you’ve put into it. I kinda wish I’d done the same with the feet.

I’ve now cooked the entire demon sculpture so it’s all finalised and ready for painting. There were one or two cracks in the sculpture after cooking but nothing serious.

I’m going to reinforce the armature hidden in the cloak as it’s sagging abit under the weight from the demon and angel.

Here’s some more pics of the demon character….

Here are a few more pics of the angel and demon sculpture.

The angel is abit more complete now……..

I’ve also been adding deformities to the demon character…………

There’re going to be two swirling tentacles emerging from the parasitic twin on the demon’s back which will swirl around the sculpture, counterbalancing the swirling folds of the angels cloak.
