HELLOOOO SEXY CHILDRENS!!!
well...what mystical, magical, mayhem has been happening at the ultra's house you ask?!?!
why it's the knockturn alley sign of course!
one morning i woke up and thought;" hay i wanna make a killer knockturn sign"...so i searched high and low on google and rpf and guess what?!?!...nothing!
seeing as no one else has made one yet i figured i'd be the first to take a crack at it!
my plan is to make killer screen accurate ones out of wood and resin to do a run in the junkyard with.
problem was all my supplies and money were tied up in other projects.
THAT'S OK FOLKS WE'LL WORK WITH NOTHING! so i ran around and gathered found objects around the house.
now keep in mind folks the pictures your about to see may be shocking, horrifying, and not for the faint of heart!
(meaning this is just the prototype until i get my good supplies for the junkyard run!)
1.) so the first thing i did was draw everything out to size on some foam board (using the bricks in the screen shot above as my standard measurement.)
2.) next i stacked and glued 2 boards together then set in vice clamps, let dry....then cut out with band saw.
3.) then i busted out the sculpey and shaped out the hand all 3d like!
4.) next took out more foam board and built a mold frame.
5.) and then i poured the mold...after it cured i tested it out with dental plaster (sure wish i had my resin in)
6.) drew out the "knockturn alley" lettering on another board then stacked some of them together, glued and put in vices again!
7.) now i chopped up some paper clips and drilled into the back of the hand and glued them in with super glue to pin them into the board for better support.
8.) then i thought to myself....why doesn't this sign ever get ripped off by the baddies?!!? well ladies and gentlemen..its because the the ministry of magic is around to make sure this doesn't happen!!! and soooooo....i made this magical warning label for the back!
9.) then aged it up with the ol' tea and coffee method.
10.) then using a bbq coal brick i burned the edges all super awesome like! and came up with this wickedness.
11.) all that was left now was splashing some of the next door neighbors blood on the hand and BANG KILLER SIGN! (pun intended)
the only thing i think i will do better on the finished versions will be to back off a little on the blood splatter...i had the hand and sleeve toned and dry brushed in a killer
forced lighting which looked just like the screen shot above...but to much of the blood effect covered most all of it up....oh well live and learn!!
feel free to comment, critique or just say hi!
and let me know if your interested in a finished one because i will be doing a junkyard run and will need to know how much
supplies to get.
thanks for your time kiddies!
