Bloated Corpulence - Cthulhu Rising

"That is not Dead which can eternal lie..." 

 Man, I could go on and on with the quotes and descriptions, but I won't.  This is an exceptionally cool Cthulhu piece sculpted by Artist Bryan Wynia. I've been working on it for a long time, and then some! This is the first piece I've completed, outside of work, all spring and summer, so to say I'm pleased to finally have it painted and photographed is an immense understatement.  This was painted for a friend, and his only direction was for me to, " Make it Green". I loosely based some of the colors off of various paintings and digital renderings that I found interesting. Here's a link to Bryan's Cthulhu Rising resin kit.
    
   

  

 

  

  

Cropsy

 

I finished painting this little 1/6 scale offering sculpted by artist John Desser a few weeks ago. It's a study of a character named, Cropsy from the 1981 slasher film, the Burning. Cropsy was the victim of a summer camp prank gone horrifically wrong resulting in terrifyingly disfiguring burns all over his body; most notably his face. And of course, he comes back to pick the culprits off one by one.Get with John at: johhnydesser@gmail.com to see about his cool pieces that are available.

 

  

Mr. Wrinkles Unpainted

 











     This is a piece called Mr. Wrinkles, sculpted by artist Jon Payne. A few months ago I happened upon photos of this sculpture, and it instantly concurred with my interests. Everything was right about this piece. I took a trip out to California for Monsterpalooza last month, and I had the good fortune of running into Mr. Wrinkles at Jon Payne's table. I had actually totally forgotten about the piece, (I had assumed that it was a one-off), so unexpectedly seeing it there at the show was a big surprise, and I instantly picked up a casting. I'm going to work on this piece in between some other projects that I have going on, so I wanted to share the unpainted resin shots of this creepy and curious piece. Enjoy. 

 

Julia Resurrected

 I should start by saying that painting this piece was an exercise in restrain. I say that because Paul Komoda, the sculptor of this piece, is one of the most imaginative artists alive today in my opinion. You can gaze upon the night sky and see into infinity, and with regards to Paul's sculpture work, the details seem to go on and on as far as the eye can see. You just have to know when to stop painting them.

 Julia literally sucked the life from the poor bastard. He was brought from the Channard institute to be a flesh offering unto her by Dr. Channard himself. Standing by with dark desire, he watched as the insane patient was finally granted his wish to free himself of the insects that he thought were crawling all over his body with the straight razor Channard gave to him. His blood flowed upon the mattress and Julia was birthed from it, straight from the grasp of the Cenobites in Hell! His blood for her flesh, and he was left a withered stiff, crumpled and broken on the mattress.

Duality

  Well, two popular comic book characters in a row... Most definitely a change of pace. Nothing wrong with riding a different horse for a while. Using different colors and expecting different things from myself. This little 1/6 scale head sculpted by John Desser is one tight little sculpture. The ol' Bats looks like he's been through a few brawls; been through a few bottles of the tough stuff to get through the memories of those brawls, too.
