I cannot really sculpt well at all. However when I do, my lack of expertise comes through with these "made by a second grader" look of monsters and other odd creatures.
They have a nice vintage appeal of the many odd plastic/rubber monsters of the 1960's and 70's that may have lacked super detail, but had a neat coolness to them. I try my best to
emulate that. Back then many companies truly made "monsters" and this sort of art is lost today.
I can see this guy below being labeled as "scary monster" or "horrible thing" or some other odd name. He is sort of a combo of a dinosaur but with octopus or snake like appendages
and has that "came from a 25 cent machine" appeal (to be honest I was partially inspired from the creatures in the 1981 film "the Boogens)
I sort of burned the Sculpty and I made the mold with Alumilite mold putty (which is similar to Zubber) by pushing it over the kind of hardened Sculpty
I then used Easycast resin (the low odor one that wont kill everything in your house) and used a drop or two of green acrylic paint as well as red for the "arms".
I wanted that kind of clear but blended color scheme (like Creepy Crawlers would have).
He is still a little bendy due to the paint mixed in but that is fine
hope you enjoy, or more so hope I kind of hit the mark I was after
