Decided to try this guy in a faux bronze patina finish. I kinda dig it. LOL

Here's a previous hacha I sculpted. This one is of what appears to be a humanoid jaguar. (Photo of original museum artifact on the left. My work-in-progress sculpt on the right.) (Final painted piece. This one I did in a color finish inspired by the idol temple from Raiders.)

Recently sculpted this guy. It's an artifact called an "hacha" (Spanish for "axe" due to their axe blade-like shape). These are common artifacts from the Totonac civilization in the regions of Veracruz, Puebla, and Hidalgo, Mexico. This speficic design depicts a person wearing a chin-strapped...

Decided to try it in a chiseled onyx look.

Thank so much! I really appreciate that. This was a very fun sculpt to work on and I'm very happy with the results. Though I've made several Cthluhu themed items in the past I always try my best to never repeat myself so my goal is to make them each look like they were made by some different...

Test-fitting a tea light in the sculpt in progress. Clay is Monster Clay Medium. For this design I wanted to convey a sense that this is a miniaturized model of a sacrificial alter, where if it was life-sized, the hole would hold wood for a fire to burn the offering. Final cleanup and...

Work in progress. This sculpt is of Monster Clay Medium. For this iteration I wanted to try something that is a bit more elegant than what I usually do with a mix of a bit of art nouveau and art deco with a stylized and faceted look. Measures about 4.75" tall. For the head I took a bit of...

Thanks! Cast in gypsum cement.

I appreciate it. Thanks so much. It was definitely a fun sculpt and one of my favorites I've ever done.

Thanks!

Here's a fun piece I did that I called the "Planitofagos Gargantua" (the planet eater). I imagined this creature as a massive and malevolent alien being that devours planets by sucking the minerals out of their cores with its tentacles. Molding time! Used Moldstar 30 for these guys...

Also made a little brother version. ;) Has a little steel wire loop on the back for easy wall hanging. Made an alternate metallic version. I may try a faux patina bronze version next.

Here are some final painted pieces... This one's the full-color version: And an alternate faux patina bronze finish...

Here's the mold. I'm far too impatient for brush-on molding so a block mold it is. I had originally intended to cast these out of rigid foam, which ended up disastrously, so I decided on just casting them out of resin with a hollowed out back to keep the cost and weight down as much as I...

Not saying it's aliens, but, well. Ok it's aliens. Just thought I'd share this project that's been haunting me for a while and finally got around to molding and casting it. Original sculpt is Monster Clay (medium).
