Executioner
































  This is an ass kicking 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.

Jethro and Prolapse




   Here are two little pieces from sculptor John Schuster, Jethro and Prolapse. Both pieces are about 3.5 inches tall. Prolapse, heck...I don't think that Proactiv could put a dent in that. And Jethro? Well, life can be cruel...

Hellfire!


 
                This is one BAD-ASSED hunk of Demonic resin called, "Hellfire. Sculpted by Anthony Watkins. To the tip of his horns, the bust is right at 11", and cast in solid white resin. From the moment I opened this big ugly bastard I knew that I wanted to paint him Red. Straight up traditionally satanic, Heavy Metal demon Red. But I threw in other colors to spice it up a bit, too. I really enjoyed using all sorts of reds, magenta's, fiery oranges and deep bloody colors on it. The rippling chest muscles and straining neck tendons really set this piece off. What a BEAST! Anthony also sculpts some of the gnarliest looking dragons I've seen, too. The guys is an amazing sculptor. Have a look see at his Facebook page to see some of his sculptural work. Anthony's Facebook Page. Or send him an e-mail to ask about his Hellfire bust: antwatkins@cox.net

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.)
