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.Comment

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.

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:
I'll try to get some more pics soon.Last edited by yokaijohn; May 1, '10, 1:00 AM.Comment
