Spiderzero Cthulhu Spawn No.1 Raw Resin

As described by the sculptor of this piece, Simon Lee, on Facebook, " "Cthulhu Spawn # 1" a quick piece for San Diego Comic Con. This is a resin casting".


 "A quick piece..."

..."a quick piece" that looks so curious, so powerful; something that I could spend hours pouring over it's every detail. Those nervously writhing tentacles coiling into themselves; that saltwater logged, wrinkly hide with it's swirling runes hidden away. 

  ..."A quick piece", sculpted by an amazing artist that I'll have on display to admire until the day I die!

Mr. Wrinkles, in the Fleisch

  
 I finally got around to taking some photos of the Mr. Wrinkles casting that I picked up from sculptor Jon Payne at this years Spring Monsterpalooza.  I wanted to keep the paint scheme simple, with very pale flesh tones and sensitive looking, mottled skin. A newborn bird was the look that I was going for. (It seemed an obvious choice to me with the way Jon sculpted the head with bulging eyes buried deep beneath lots of tissue, very similar to the appearance of a helpless newborn bird.) 

The Great (Young) Old One

 

Even the most infamous of the Ancient Ones has a humble beginning! Realized by artist, Simon Lee, this is little Baby Cthulhu.

When I first saw this piece, I couldn't help but imagine the little creature being squirted out and plopping wetly onto the featureless cold slab. I imagined the corrugated little lump hunkering down into it's loose, wrinkled skin, nestling into itself for comfort (who wants to cuddle?); maybe even coughing up a bit of post birth sputum as it takes it's first "breath" of life, or whatever such a creatures existence would be described as. That'd be a nice touch. Actually, as I think of Baby Cthulhu right now, I'm reminded of what a cicada that's newly emerged from it's shell looks like... All translucently moist, puffy and completely defenseless. What a neat concept. Simon's Baby Cthulhu is cast in one solid piece of creamy yellowish resin. The small plaque is measured to 6.25" long by 2.75" wide.

Melon Head says, "Happy Halloween Boils and Ghouls!"...

...alright, I lied! Melon Head didn't say anything. Have you looked into that cranium?! If he said anything, it'd be something like, "Ghuuurk...nnnghaaack....BWEGH!"
 I picked up this nasty little zombie bust at Quarantine Studios table at Wonderfest this year. Sculpted by the maestro of the macabre, William Paquet. I hadn't seen it before, and I picked one up on the spot. The bust is about 5 3/8" tall, so I'd say somewhere between 1/6-1/7th. scale range. Cast in cold cast porcelain, I believe. It was a pre-paint, so I had to strip off the factory finish, give it a nice clean up and primer for some beauty shots. I'm gonna' love painting this bastard! So feast your eyes on this quickly spoiling stiff before he liquefies into a stinky pool, and by all means...

  ...have a HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!
