Working on the moulds for the old dude at the moment.

I’ve covered up the back with clingfilm so I can build a clay wall up around the head and shoulders.  I’m doing this in stages rather than building  a clay wall around the whole sculpture.  I’ve also sealed up the mouth so that I can get  clean mould line.

The front’s then covered in plaster.  As it’s quite a large mould I’m also building a wooden frame around the mould to give it abit more support.

Been working on the embryo:

Stuck a big hole in the cheek of my deformed embryo,  Too much?  Nah.

Did a quick vid of the various sculptures and puppets being created for my werewolf transformation video.

Now that I’ve finished the werewolf I’m updating the embryo I started ages ago.

Getting towards the end of the old dude sculpture now (kind of) which means I can get into the fun part and start adding the detail.   As you can see the sculptures pretty big.  The arms are detachable to make it easier to mould.

The idea is that the guys been savaged by a werewolf so I’ve added slash marks to his chest and a bit mark on his side.

I’m also working on the wrinkles in his skin.  Given the size it’s taking a while!

I’m still working on the old dude – I’ve added an arm to him now.  This thing is getting mahoosive!  Should’ve thought through how big a 2/3 scale puppet would be before I started really ;0)

In other news I’ve also finished the molds of the werwolf.

I’ve been working on the sculpt of the old dude before he changes into the werewolf.

It’s the whole upper body in 2/3 scale so it’s getting kinda big! Here’re some pics anyway:

Couple of bits.  I’ve actually taken a slight break from doing the werwolves as I’ve been ebaying a load of stuff so I could buy a new camera to shoot the final vid on.

That’s all done now and I’m the proud owner of a Nikon D90 which (for all you cameraphiles out there) is a digital SLR which also shoots 720p vid. The advantage of this over a regular camcorder is you can use your SLR lenses to get some excellent video effects. Here’s some test vid using an f1.8/35mm lens.

I’m also starting to make the molds now- partly because I’ve run out of clay halfway through building the old man so I need the clay from the werewolf sculpt.

Here’re some pics of the old man:

And here’re some pics of the molds:

I’m laminating the plaster with glass fibre to give it some structural strength.

Here’re some further pics of the old chap before he turns into the werewolf. I’m still screwing around with this, trying to get the right look.

Should probably say that the teeth are not part of the final sculpture – I’ll be sculpting up a seperate set to put into the final puppet.
