Griffin Mountain Project

These are the toys that started this project. I was going for a Lassie meets He man kind of mash up.                                                                  

Ok so he's not a true Griffin (lion/eagle) but he ends up Griffin-like.                         

Monster Clay for his new face and white epoxy putty for the blend in fur.                      

Ready to pour the first half.                                                   

Two part silicone mold with urethane part.                                      

Ready for paint.                                                         

Sculpt a quick styrofoam rock platform.                                      

Covered in plaster.                                                       

Then covered in urethane plastic, bondo, epoxy putty and red fill.

The Super Super Show

I'm showing 3 new sculptures at the Super Super group show. I decided to resculpt The Thing, The Falcon and Daredevil. I cut off all the parts that I don't like or need and then sculpt new parts. After all the mold making and casting is done, I paint the new parts and put them back together.
