Fantasy wall plaques

[Jiver]

Hi all,
I was cleaning my workspace the other day, wondering what I would do with all those head sketches I did.Instaed of throwing them away, I had the idea to use them for wall plaques.I even made a few new ones, just to complete the picture I had in mind.When I started out sculpting way back, the first sculptures were busts of a zombie, a werewolf, a vampire and a mummy.Ugly as hell, but you have to start somewhere,right?
I'm working on the exact same set, but now they are just faces on a cd-size plaque wich can stand on a shelve or hang on the wall.
Some might look familiar, but the zombie and the mummy are new.
Allthough this has not nearly the class of a bust, it's a neat and cheap item, and most importantly, you can focus all efforts on painting the face, untill further notice, still the most important part of any figure :wink:

Excellent! Bags of character and very clean.

(I assume you're using polymer clay. How do you find the colour/clay shapers work with it? A bunch of sculptors on Frothers Unite have started using polymer clay - mostly cernit - and found the shapers tend to catch and roughen the surface.)

I don't have that problem, but than again, I use very soft polymer and it works well for example skin texture.

I finished the werewolf to complete the monster gang.

I didn't like the cd plaque after all, so I changed the concept for the back plate.To refer to the name'Horror Heads' I integrated some heads and skulls in the base.It's a standard model, so all heads will have this one.For some heads there will be a slightly wider version.

 

[Jiver]

The first 5 horror heads in final version.

Yes, 5.The wolfman made it in time.These are the final versions.The backplate is a detailed rock surface wich integrated skulls and little horror heads.This first wave is: The mummy, the vampire, the werewolf, the zombie and the werewolf 2(wolfman).
