Strange Kid

Hello there!

Where oh where has the time gone?!?!? It has been a stupid amount of time since my last post so I think it's time to get back on this train and start blogging again!

A lot has been going on this year, most of what I have been working on I can not show until the future when all is approved and what not but for now here is a sculpture commission that I have just finished up.

The awesome chap that is Rondal Scott, commissioned me to to sculpt his great character "Strange kid" Rondal runs a really awesome website/blog called www.strangekidsclub.com which I was already a reader, so I jumped at the chance to work with Rondal on this.

Rondal sent me over his great design and I went to work on creating it and I took a few process pictures along the way.

The sculpt was then thrown into some silicone to make a mould and cast in resin.

The cast came out great but needed a little filler here and there. 

After the cast was cleaned up and sanded down I started up the super fun part of painting him up.

This was mostly done with airbrush but also a few small details were done by brush. I undercoated him with white then masked off the hair and painted the skin.

After the skin was finished I masked of the face leaving him this small window to see through.

After the hair I masked off the head and arms to paint the T shirt. I didn't take any photos of this though, I'm afraid.

And here is the finished chap!

I had a lot of fun doing this, especially the painting.

Hopefully I will have some puppet building work to post up soon. If not I can always post plenty of doodle stuff!

First designs

 Sketches & finals

Just a little personal project really but these guys were a lot of fun to do and I will definitely exploring them more in the near future!

I'll be doing another mega post before the year is out so expect that at some point in the next few days.

More doodles

Hello all!

I've been caught up doing a few character design jobs at the moment and I've not had anytime to start my new puppet or do any sculpting. I suppose the good thing with character design is that it is something else I can offer, that I enjoy doing, while the world of stop motion is incredibly quiet in the UK at the moment. I'll have to wait to post things from those jobs but in the meantime here is some more personal stuff from the last few weeks.
