[yokaijohn]

Great sculpts John

You familiar with the art of Guy Davis? Sandman Mystery Theatre and BPRD? It finally hit me that his art is what your sculpting reminds me of.

Thanks Cat!!I can't actually paint them yet,because I still have to make molds from them first.

[yokaijohn]

Mold-making update:I just sealed up(Wed.night) all the heads for molding(with mod podge),plus since the pictures,I made new sculpts(redid)for the Phantom and the Wolf-man.I also sculpted a Tengu(one of the Yokai,Japanese monsters) head for molding as well.Hope to try making some molds this week Wed.or Thursday.:smile:

[yokaijohn]

Sorry My Monsters Missed Halloween!I'm going to try to make the Molds Some-time this week,Though!

a Guy Davis Hellboy/BPRD pinup. I see a lot of similarities in your 3D stuff and his art.

You got pics of the resculpts?

[yokaijohn]

You got pics of the resculpts?

Yeah Joe. I just have to decide which pics to take off so I can upload them to the mm member Gallery.

[timb]

Hey nice work! Do you mind if I ask what kind of clay you sculpt with and how do you go about making the molds for the heads?

I'd kinda like to give this a shot at some point but have been somewhat stand offish due to the complexity of making the molds, etc.

[yokaijohn]

Thanks Timb,I love your drawings!I used Clay-stone (an air-dry modeling clay,with little to no shrinking)on these sculpts(I coat the clay sculpt in modpodge).I'm going to use Smooth-on to make the molds. Smooth-On - Mold Making and Casting Materials for a World of Applications! (http://www.smoothon.com)

[yokaijohn]

I finally got around to to making the Monster Molds.I have four Complete molds so far (Frankenstein,Wolf-Man,Creature,& Mummy) and I just poured 4 more(molds)this evening
(Dracula,Nosferatu,The Phantom,and Mr.Hyde)and I started one more(The Hunch-back)but I ran out of Smooth-on.Here's a pic of some of the(resin) castings I got from the first 4 molds: http://megomuseum.com/mmgallery/files/2/1/6/1/DSC04737.JPG
I'll try to get some more pics soon.

[yokaijohn]

Thanks Joe & Cat.I'll try to get some more pics later or tomorrow after I cast some more heads with the latest molds(Dracula,Nosferatu,The Phantom,& Mr.Hyde)I actually have to go and get the latest molds ready to cast from now.:smile:

[Orlock]

I love that Nosferatu head!!!:terror:He IS my namesake after all.

[Meule]

Oh wow, just wow. I agree that Nosferatu sculpt looks wicked cool, so does Drac.

[thunderbolt]

Man, these just keep getting better.

[yokaijohn]

Thanks Orlock,Thomas,and Joe,I appreciate the positive feed back on these!Now I just have to finish the Hunch-back mold I started last week(ran out of rubber a little short of finishing) and make the Bride mold and I will have all the Classic monster heads I sculpted (I also have another sculpt for Wolf-man and another sculpt for the Phantom,I might make molds from them too,all tough I also made a Tengu sculpt I need to make a mold for first maybe,he might be tricky to make though since he has a very,very long nose).

[thunderbolt]

any chance of a sale on sets of the monster heads? I reallly dig them.

[yokaijohn]

Sure,Joe that's possible.

[yokaijohn]

If I can get some more rubber today,I might have some new pics to show here tomorrow,check back tomorrow.

[Meule]

Will do :wink_y: :yes:

[yokaijohn]

Didn't get the rubber yet(so couldn't finish the molds), but I'll get it some time this week.so check back later this week for new pics.

[yokaijohn]

I got the rubber to finish up the molds yesterday and now I have five more molds today(Haunch-back,Bride,Tengu,2nd Phantom sculpt,and 2nd Wolf-Man sculpt).I'm going to find out how they all came out soon,should have some pics of the castings later tonight or tomorrow some time(check back).I still have some smooth-on left for about one or two more molds actually,I just have to decide what to make(which of my sculpts: Asian warrior,with top-knot , Bald African warrior,Mongolian warrior?).

I made a mold from the Asian Warrior with top-knot.All the latest molds seem to be good I'm going to wait till tomorrow morning though to make some castings,I should have some new pics tomorrow night.:cool_y:

[Meule]

Be sure to paint them John, so we can see all the details :wink_y:

[yokaijohn]

Sure thing Tomas,I'll paint one of each of the new heads.Not sure if I'll get any pics today(its kind of overcast today here in NYC),if I do it will probably be just a group shot of the heads right after casting(today),but tomorrow I should have some of them painted.I have to get to work on them(the Molds)now.:wink:

[Meule]

Take your time John, but I am looking forward to them

[yokaijohn]

Take your time John, but I am looking forward to them
Thanks Thomas.I Got some great castings from the molds yesterday.The Hunch-back, the Bride,and the Asian Warrior molds are great.The 2nd Phantom and The 2nd Wolf-man are good too but they have almost no neck plugs.The only one there seems to be a problem with is the Tengu mold,his wolverine-like hair is not coming out completely on the left side(other-wise its good)I'll find out for sure when I get some more resin(I only made three castings from the Tengu mold and then I used up the last of the resin on the rest).I started painting up one of each(from each mold) of the castings today.I finished the Hunch-back and the Bride(my wife took the camera to work today so couldn't get any pics),now I just have to finish painting the other 4 .I'll get some pics tomorrow(check back then).

[Meule]

(my wife took the camera to work today so couldn't get any pics)

Don't forget his feet :wink_y:

[yokaijohn]

Don't forget his feet :wink_y:
Well actually Thomas I plain to make molds for an entire Creature body,I wanted to see how the molds for the hands come out first,but actually after I saw your post yesterday it made me feel like sculpting some feet too,so I did,and then I sculpted the torso halves(front & back),and one calf.Thanks to you he's almost there just have to sculpt the other parts now.Still working on the hand molds a few more layers of silicon and they should be ready.
