Sculpted by the undisputed master of all things squishy, tentacled and bizarre, Paul Komoda. Produced by Artist Proof Studio, and sold out, too. However, APS have decided to produce this cool little piece as a pre-paint in the very near future, so keep your eyes peeled for that.</span><br />
<span style="color: red;"> </span><span style="color: red;"> </span><span style="color: red;">My original intent was to paint the
creature pink, but after playing around with those colors, I thought it
looked too much like one of those vibrantly colored, tropical aquarium
ornaments. So pushed the pink back with some gray/green, but still tried
to maintain a somewhat muted vibrancy. I really enjoyed
painting this bust. Paul Komoda always imbues such amazing detail, it's
just difficult to know when to stop painting. This little Elder God is
going into my personal display cabinet. </span><br />

<span style="color: red;">This is hands down the most
hauntingly realistic sculpture I've ever had the pleasure of painting.
This was a complete strip, down to the resin, and re paint. At this
time, I don't know who the sculptor is. Sideshow's website states that
it was created by the talented SX artists at Spectral Motion. When I do
find out who sculpted it, I shall update my blog with the artists name. </span><br />

I had the good fortune of being commissioned to paint another awesome Shock Monster resin bust, sculpted by Casey Love and produced by Scott Whitworth Studio. This newer version of the bust differs from the original release in that the original had a brick work base, and did a bit of custom work: hollowing out the mouth, knocking out a few teeth, and sculpting a fat tongue. This newer version has a much taller, ornately styled pedestal base, and a more hollowed out mouth and tongue as well. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;"> I chose to paint it in much more potent greens and yellows, (versus the septic, brownish-green-yellow of the previous version. *See bottom photo*), applied jet black crepe hair, and a severely bloodshot eye. Green is my favorite color, and the Shock Monster is one of my favorite classic creepers! </span><br />

<span style="color: red;">This is a resin kit that I've been waiting to see for some time. It's called "Royal Birth". Sculpted by Garage Kit legend, William Paquet, and produced by Artist Proof Studio from southern California. The design is based off a painting by Artist Chris Cunningham. Chris painted the piece while working on the 1997 film, Alien Resurrection, as a concept design for the Alien Newborn creature. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;"> Royal Birth is cast in 4 solid gray resin parts, and it stands 8.5" tall, and the base is about 4" wide and 5.5" long. I really loved building and painting this kit. I added an umbilical cord and some other nasty bits to enhance the base, which was already quite visceral. I just couldn't resist. Her vicious majesty spent the weekend at the Artist Proof Studio booth, along with two other exceptionally well painted versions by GK crafstman Phil Sera, and the unparalleled Paul Komoda (who also created the box artwork), at Monsterpalooza in Pasadena, CA. Here's my painted version. </span><br />

This piece is stunning. Perhaps one of the most lavishly detailed and elegant pieces that I've ever had the pleasure of painting. I actually painted a much smaller version of this piece last Summer, which was 7.75" tall by 5.75" wide. The 1/2 scale version tops out at 12", and about 8" at the widest points. Both cast in solid gray resin.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;"> </span><br /><span style="color: red;"> I was asked to paint this piece
in the same manner as the smaller version, and in doing so, I made a few
subtle changes and took the opportunity to work in a bit more detail
into the face. I'm very pleased to have had the good fortune of painting
another casting of this exquisite piece.</span><br />

<span style="color: red;"><a href="http://artistproofstudio.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Artist Proof Studio</a> have added yet another interesting original design to their ever growing menagerie of bizarre resin kits and busts, and it's name is Hermezine Alien. Sculpted by John Schuster, cast in solid light gray resin, and not a single air bubble or seam line to address. The bust is 11" tall and very slender, which means it will fit right into the tight spaces of your display cabinet. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;"> A little back story on Hermezine taken from the Artist Proof blog : </span><br />

<span style="color: lime;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">"John
Schuster's Hermezine Alien or "Hermez" as he's known around the space
bars he frequents is a true party animal.</span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 115%;"> He's the go
to guy for supplying the Amphetamine like Chemical “Hermezine” to racer pilots
around the universe.</span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 115%;"> Guaranteed
to increase focus and give you a boost! "<br /> </span></span><span style="font-size: small;">

</span></span><span style="font-size: 18.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<br />
<span style="color: red;"> John boasts his ability to render
damn near any skin texture you could imagine on this here bust. All those different textures coupled with the smooth, psychedelic forms of the base make for an attractive display. Hermezine makes me think of those wonderful old
school alien designs you might find in an issue of Heavy Metal magazine
from the 70's or 80's, or Barlowe's Guide To Extra-Terrestrials; the
renaissance period for science fiction and fantasy art. With plenty of
old-school charm, John still managed to imbue an incredible amount of
21st. Century detail. This bust is totally awesome, and I loved painting
it. Get with Artist Proof Studio to snag a casting on this weird-o : </span><a href="mailto:zombiejesus11@gmail.com" target="_blank">zombiejesus11@gmail.com</a><br />

<span style="color: red;">This might be the most bizarre kit release of sculptor William Paquet's career. Released through his amazing resin kit company, Sheer Terror Society, this cadaveric piece is titled, <i>Sucus Auribus Sanguis</i>, (Latin text) or simply, Blood Sap Zombie. This piece is to be the first of a four part Seasonal theme that William intends to realize: Winter, Spring, Summer and Autumn. Blood Sap Zombie is the Autumnal release. *side note: in progress photos of the Winter piece, which is <i>fucking...incredible</i>, can be seen on the Sheer Terror Society Facebook page.*</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;"> I would peg the scale to be in the 1/6 neighborhood, standing at just shy of 14" in height. Cast in four solid pieces of resin: main body, left arm, skull, and the base. Do you understand the implications of a complex figure such as this, with all the negative spaces and undercuts, being cast in in so few pieces? The entire body, sans the left arm, was cast in <i>one...piece</i>. And <i>extremely</i> cleanly cast in one piece, at that. I had only to scrape with my hobby knife around the perimeter of each piece, fill a few air bubbles on the right hand and the left elbow with some epoxy putty. The casting William sent me was the color of pistachio pudding; a strange, ecto green. </span><br />
<span style="color: red;"> </span><br />
<span style="color: red;"> I'm fighting back the urge to drone on and on with praise for this amazing piece, but let it suffice to say it's among the most original, highly detailed resin kits I've had the pleasure of painting, and I've painted a good many. With my paint scheme, I wanted to pay homage to the beautiful colors of the late Autumnal season here in the midwest, but with a bruised, moldering aspect. I envisioned the strange, corpse-like elemental wraith to stride over the tangled mess of unidentifiable body parts; engorged with blood taken up from human viscera (and unfortunate woodland creatures alike) that blankets the forest floor. Always in flux. Shifting, shimmering like flame, and smelling of sweet cedar resin, wood smoke, iron and putrescent flesh all at once. The fleshy vines which course about it's emaciated body acting as siphons to sanguinate, feed and replenish it's nearly whole, (<i>unwholesome?</i>) form. It oddly regards a freshly depleted human skull in it's monstrous, vine fingered hand. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;"> I was constantly reminded of Andreas Vesalius' anatomical illustrations I used to study in high school art class when working with it. I applaud William for releasing such incredible pieces.</span><br />

<span style="color: red;">It's been seven years, but at last I've finished painting one of my favorite resin kits. Released in 2008 by sculptor Simon Lee, Medusa has been on my Top 5 Must Paint list since I opened the box in which she arrived that same year. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;"> I've always thought Simon's Medusa had a distinct H.R. Giger air about it; particularly the head, which I thought to be reminiscent of Giger's original Li painting in it's general shape: </span><br />

<span style="color: red;">The forms and amazing organic flow of the piece are wonderful. Strangely beautiful, delicate and bizarre all at once. An elegant and monstrous pirhouette. </span><br />

<span style="color: red;">It took me a bit longer than I had initially expected to finish, but at last, Caracolilla is finished. (See my previous post regarding the bust)<a href="http://thesepulcher.blogspot.com/2015/06/caracolilla-nude.html" target="_blank">: http://thesepulcher.blogspot.com/2015/06/caracolilla-nude.html</a> Upon seeing this beautifully rendered piece for the first time, I immediately thought of some of the strangely beautiful, and otherworldly alluring beautiful women seen in many of the late artist H.R. Giger's fantastic paintings. It was right then and there that I decided to attempt painting Caracolilla in a similar manner.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;"> I spent quite a few evenings after work, and some weekends as well, layering sepia and black washes; applying different tones of airbrush colors, and working the highlighted areas of the bone-like, chitinous formations of the head, and her lovely, angelic face. It was a constant ballet of additions and subtractions; ebb and flow, and I loved it. I would've liked to better define some of the biomechanical line work that Giger is famous for in the face, but alas- I needed to wrap it up and move onto the next project. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;"> I must again thank Abner Marin for gifting me with this most amazing piece! Thank you!</span><br />

It's called, "Caracolilla", and is sculpted by digital artist, Abner Marin. Abner very generously sent me a casting of this stunningly detailed bust a few months ago, and it's now available to order from Black Heart Enterprises: <a href="http://www.blackheartmodels.com/" target="_blank">http://www.blackheartmodels.com/</a></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;"> There's absolutely nothing that I can say about this amazing piece that the pictures won't illustrate. Enjoy.</span><br />

It's basically your typical "Gray Alien" design, but with quite a gruesome cleft lip and palate rotten nose. The bust is solid resin cast, and a one of a kind piece according to John. The little Feller is just a touch under 5" tall, and flourishing with subtle skin wrinkles and detail. The skin tone I painted turned out more purple than I originally intended; a minty, pistachio green was one of the colors that I'd been applying and knocking back alternatively throughout the paint process, and it seems a knocked it back a bit too much to even detect! But, in the end, I'm happy with it, and John seemed to be pleased with it as well. </span><br />

This piece really is a painter's dream with all the great textures, crazy teeth, and dramatically positioned tongue. I chose a pale gray skin tone with a really dark, inky mouth and bright reddish-orange eyes to stand out. Anthony didn't have a particular name for the piece other than vampire, so I took the liberty of naming it Desmodus Vrykolakas. Desmodus being a common Vampire Bat, and Vrykoulakas being the Greek, or Slavic name for a blood-feasting, undead creature. Even though it's only a head piece, there's just so much gnarly, pissed-off energy in the facial expression and writhing tongue, it's sure to hold it's own among the other nasty creatures in any Garage Kit enthusiast's display cabinet.</span><br />

The character is named, Avagddu, and it's from a comic book called Slaine the King, illustrated by Glenn Fabry, and written by Pat Mills and Mike McMahon. Here's a short description of Avagddu found on the internet: "</span><br />
<h3 class="display-view">
<span style="color: lime;">"Avagddu is the son of the earth goddess and a
tainted, brute of a demon. Avagddu is misshaped and covered with boils;
he also has only one good eye. He is the dark side of the Earth Power
personified."</span></h3>

<span style="color: red;">Above is an illustration of Avagddu by Glenn Fabry from the pages of Slaine the King</span>. <span style="color: red;">As you can see, Norman did an exemplary job capturing all the nuances of Glenn's depiction of Avagddu. </span><span style="color: red;">I
actually applied some of Norman's facial hair to some of the boils to
push the loathsome factor. Visit Artist Proof Studio webstore to

Sculpted by the undisputed sculptural Master of the Macabre, William Paquet. Melonhead was a pre-painted statue with very pale skin tone. I stripped off the factory paint finish with a soaking in Easy-Off oven cleaner, and scrubbed like a fiend until it was all removed. </span><br />

<span style="color: red;">Here we have another piece sculpted by John Schuster which is based on a character from a video game. This is a Bloater, and it's one of the ugly creatures from the Playstation 3 game, The Last of Us. I'm not familiar with the storyline, or why these things are completely festooned with fungi and all manner of neat looking mushrooms, but it's an interesting twist on the zombie mythos. John's Bloater bust is pretty small, measuring at 4.25" tall, but it's imbued with lots of very nicely executed details, and I really enjoyed painting it. </span><br />

<span style="color: red;"> This is a nice piece sculpted by John Schuster. Akuma character is from the Capcom game, Street Fighter. An excellent study of a strained and exaggerated musculature. I used a 4x4" block of wood for the base, and I decided to incorporate the kanji symbol which appears on Akuma's back at certain times.</span><br />

I'm very happy to share
with you my first painted piece of the year 2015. It's a piece that
I've been eager to paint for nearly three years. Sculptor Dominic Qwek
originally released a smaller version of this Hopper bust back in early
2012, and I waited around long enough for him to release a larger
version of the same piece to do so. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;">
This larger version measures 7.5" at the top of the head, not counting
the antennae which put the total height at 9.5". This larger version is
about twice the size of the smaller piece that Dominic released in 2012.
It will be available very soon, and if you're fortunate enough to
attend the upcoming Monsterpalooza show in Burbank, CA., you'll have the
opportunity to snag one of these and see the other amazing creatures
that Dominic Qwek will have available at there. Thanks for having a
look, and Happy New Year! </span><br />

<span style="color: red;"> It's been a while since I've posted any pictures of unpainted, un-assembled resin kits, so I'll start things back up with an interesting gem from Japan called Man Grasshopper with Spider. This 1/6 scale resin kit is sculpted by Keisuke Yoneyama, and produced by Hellpainter.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;"> First let me start off by saying that if you're interested in bizarre, science fiction and horror based original designs, and have not heard of Hellpainter from Japan, then visit their website, like... yesterday: <a href="http://hellpainter.com/" target="_blank">http://hellpainter.com/</a></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;"> Sculptor Keisuke Yoneyama is a fantastic artist as you will clearly see from the pictures posted below. The delicate manner in which he fleshed out this character with it's organic, bone-like forms and chitinous armor flowing throughout is quite impressive, and his style very much reminds me of the work of Master sculptor, Takayuki Takeya. In fact, this piece very much reminds me of a piece released from Fewture Models in 1994 called, Pusher Hopper: <a href="http://thesepulcher.blogspot.com/2009/12/fewture-metamorphosis-addict-1-hopper.html" target="_blank">http://thesepulcher.blogspot.com/2009/12/fewture-metamorphosis-addict-1-hopper.html </a></span><br />
<span style="color: red;"> </span><br />
<span style="color: red;"> I could ramble on and on about how much I enjoy this piece, but I'll simply let the pictures speak for themselves. Enjoy. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: red;">While I don't do a lot of paint commissions for other's, those that I do accept tend to be of the same subject matter that I myself am very fond of. I consider myself quite lucky to be called upon to do such things, and my most recent paint commission, King Thalidomidas, is one of which I'm very fond, indeed. Sculpted by Paul Komoda, and produced by Artist Proof Studio.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;"> This is the second casting of King Thalidomidas that I've had the pleasure of painting. As opposed to the previous Thalidomidas casting that I painted, which was very fleshy and warm, I chose to use more cool tones with this casting; referencing some of the colors which the late H.R. Giger applied to his paintings, as well as some used in the paintings made by Paul Komoda.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: red;"> Having the opportunity to repaint a piece that I painted in the past is something that I've wanted to do quite often. However, time is something that has kept me from actually doing it; that, and the fact that many of the pieces that I've painted over the years are in somebody else's collection, which may be on the other side of the continent, or even on the other side of the planet! There's one such piece that's at home in my display cabinet, though. I look at it in the evening when I sit and think on my couch, and each time I see it, I want to give it a few more hours time on my work bench to take it to where I now think it should be. The piece is Mr. Wrinkles, sculpted by Jon Payne.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;"> Jon has fast become one of my favorite sculptors, and I eagerly await for him to reveal the creative, twisted, and expressive characters he consistently produces. I purchased a casting of Mr. Wrinkles from Jon at the 2013 Monsterpalooza show in Burbank, CA. I finished Mr. Wrinkles late that year. While I was fairly happy with it, the more I looked at my paint work, I realized that he seemed far too warm and ruddy toned for my liking. The desire to take him out of the display case and spend a few hours with him became a daily occurrence, and I finally relented a few weeks ago. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: red;"> I spent time pushing back the warm skin tones in certain areas, lightening the high points, and accenting the wrinkles. I also pushed some of the shadows a little darker than I had done previously. As you can see below, the result is much cooler in tone, and much more to my liking. I think it was time well spent. Thank you for looking :)</span><br />

When Anthony asked me to paint this and the Fraust Wyrm <a href="http://thesepulcher.blogspot.com/2014/08/fraust-wyrm.html" target="_blank">(see previous post)</a>, he asked me if I could paint the big horned beast so that it looked like it lived in a snowbound waste. I thought it was a great suggestion, and I'm glad he proposed the idea. So much so, that I decided to also paint the dragon trophy with an icy theme as well. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;"> I took a few photos and realized that if I was going to call it the Arctic Blood Beast I really needed to add some choking bloody ribbons inside that gaping maw. So I did. Lots of it, too. I imagined that the brute sawed through some flabby seal-like creature that was taking a nap on an ice covered rock with that terrible mouth. </span><br />

<span style="color: red;"> This is a very nice piece of resin from the studio of Anthony Watkins. I call him Fraust, pronounced "frost". I wanted to use a color scheme that I hadn't seen too many times before; something to evoke thoughts of a Dragon that might roam about an icy wasteland, crawling across jagged snow capped mountain spurs. </span><br />
<span style="color: red;">Since I chose to paint the dragon with cool tones, I wanted to be sure and paint the eyes so they'd be a stark contrast. So I chose intense, fiery</span> <span style="color: red;">colors for the eyes. I very nearly repainted them a lime green, which I still think would've looked really nice, but my Girlfriend encouraged me not to. And I'm glad I took her advice. </span><br />
<br />

<span style="color: red;">This is an <i>ass kicking</i> little bust sculpted by Jarrod and Brandon Shiflett titled, Executioner. I'd guess it to be a beefy 1/6 scale, and just a hair under six inches in height. The kit is two solid medium gray resin pieces, body and axe, and it keys together perfectly compliments of caster Ahren Gauthier. I spent twenty minutes scraping the seam lines with a hobby knife and I was straight to painting. This mean little bugger has a lot of Simon Bisley energy throughout, and wanted to paint it with some rotten greens, yellows and spectral blues. I had some real fun painting this rad little beast, and I cannot say enough good things about it, either. If you're a fan of Frank Frazetta or Simon Bisley styled pieces, or powerfully sculpted pieces in general, this bust is an absolute must have.</span><br />
