-WithIn- Female Cow Hybrid

The female cow hybrid sculpture finished...
The water clays been sealed with crysta clear spray and a mould divide added just passed half way, It was decided early on to due to costs and construction that the sculpture would be photographed front on and that this would be a static display.....

The first layer of silicone moulding rubber is brushed on and left to gell....
Once all the silcone work was complete this multi peice fibre glass mother jacket was produced, this was to hold the rubber moulds position aswell as the weight, in total the finsihed mould weighted approx 25 kilos, there was also a resin plate mould made of the back half.....
Mmooo baby!! the resin casting produced using polyester gell coat layers pigments and reinforced with fibre glass. I've decided to leave the eyes in the cast instead of using glass eyes seen as one eye's iris and pupil will be distorted to match the eye socket, I've also left the teeth in the which seemed little need to dremel out and add acrylic

Night's dawn

She gasped that breathe of darkness as the last of the shabby dust bin liners that bound her time and body where pulled from her being... I’m currently resurrecting this sculpt, I’ve made a few changes and have a few more changes to carve.

I’ve also found myself involved with the old Facial Distortions gang, although there’s no FD anymore it’s cool to sit and work ideas out and maybe get something going again. There was plans for a film short involving some Ancient English history but due to it’s graphic nature it looks like another idea will have to come from the pits of hell….

MARIE
Hello Jack!!

The man’s heart beat stopped as he looks into the darkness franticly

MARIE
Look at poor old you all alone in this place, I promise not to leave you alone my little saucy boy jack…

From the darkness the man slowly looks up shaking and we see the angelic face of Marie,
she’s around 25 years old, she has blonde hair, blue eyes and a fair complexion, she’s wearing from what we can see a linsey frock and red shawl around her shoulders, her face is quite attractive, the man’s eyes stay fixed on Marie’s eyes.

MARIE
Have you missed me Jack, oh how I dream of thee, my little saucy boy.

Marie slowly walks towards the man and bends down close to him, she holds her arm oddly as if hiding something from him. The man’s heart pounds beating again furiously, his shaking intensifies. Marie smiles

MARIE
I have a little something for you Jack

The mans eyes fall to where Marie’s hand is deliberately hiding something

Marie’s hand slowly turns by the wrist lifting into frame a fresh bloodied kidney with arteries still attached, she holds it in front of her face towards the man and slowly rakes a delicate nail over the glistening blood of its surface

The man screams terrified

MARIE
Lost your stomach Jack

Marie’s eyes widen as her lips begin to smile darkly

MARIE
What’s the matter Jack had your fill, do you not wish to eat me, have a little slice…… no grapes for dessert?

The Baltic chill has taken over the creatureshop like a crippling disease and I’m aching from it’s ill gotten gains, ok I’m fulla flue so things have been a little slow lately. Seen as I’ve been stuck in doors recouping and coughing I decided to do some oil clay, It’s a medium I’ve did very little with so I’ll be working on some studies in doors, the first of which is a rather young Orangutan,

I’ve just ordered another nice pair of primate eyes from http://www.eyedentity.co.uk/ for a very senior looking ape and I also have plans for a special ape but more on that as it happens. Check out MilleniumFX forum whilst you’re passing, its Neill Gorton’s forum specializing in Dr Who replicas produced by the team behind the hit show’s FX. They also cover general FX and the board members can post projects their working on and ask Neill questions

I did get a little further with the Surgeon and his enigmatic smile.

Perhaps the coolest news I’ve heard recently is that the one FX artist after Ray Harryhausen that inspired me so much, the incredibly talented 6 times Oscar winner Rick Baker will be quest keynote speaker at this years IMATS 2008 http://www.makeupmag.com/

And finally my special love at present, Daisy!! When Aliens go that one step to far and cocktail female and cow DNA to produce Hybrids as cattle for their offspring, don't shudder at the udder!! She’s got some ways to go yet but she’s patient :)

Watch the skies!!
