Dragon Fountain Head work in progress

Here are some work in progress shots of a dragon head I'm making as a pond fountain for my friend Dave.

Finished Octopus Sculpt

Sorry, long time no post...

Anyways, thought I'd chuck some pix of my finished octopus. Unfortunately the mold didn't cure properly so I have to resculpt it again.

*sigh*

..Back to work..

Octopus Sculpt

Here's my current work in progress shots on an octopus sculpture I've got in the works. I'm working in Chavant clay for the first time and finding it quite nice to work with. I'm planning to do a limited run of this guy in bronze.

Still got it after 6 Years...

Here's a hand fabricated ring I made for my brother’s new wife. The diamonds came from some rings from her grandmother and the ring was constructed from 19K white gold sheet. This is one of the first major rings I’ve done in 6 years. Nice to see I can still pull it together.

ÉCORCHÉ for Entrance

I'm currently trying to get entrance into an advance anatomy sculpting course but I have to prove my anatomy knowledge and sculpting skill since most of my scuplt are stylized. To gain admittance to this course I have decided to basicly do what we're going to cover in the course but in half scale (12" tall instead of 24" tall).

Note: I have been accepted! Yahoo!

This is a work in progress with currently 27 hours into the sculpt.

Gollum

I made my "Gollum" sculpture using the ecourche technique by building the skeleton first, then layering the muscles and skin over top. In my class we were watching the Load of the Rings special features and I decided to make my study into my version of Gollum. I liked the versions of Gollum in the Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings cartoons so my sculpt reflects more of that kind of gnarly/elfin look. I hoping to getting around to casting this guy in bronze this year.

Fairy Dragon

This is a small sculpture of a Fairy Dragon I did for fun and gave to my dad who liked all dragons.

Skull Ring

Here's a ring I did before my jewelry apprenticeship. It is anatomically correct and the mandible is hinged.

Ronaldinho

When I first started at Action Pants INC we had the privilege of having Noel Baker do a sculpting workshop with us. Noel was the lead sculptor on Tim Burton’s Copse Bride and the Brisk Iced Tea commercials among other projects and was nice enough to come over from Manchester England and give us some tips and tricks for doing caricatures. I want to work on the Brazilian soccer player Rolandinho who has this crazy face. We didn’t have a lot of time to get this done since Noel’s time here was limited so I ended up doing a quick sculpt in plasticine.
