New Set

notice the filing cabinets. Those took a long time. A really long time. Now imagine the room covered with papers, cobwebs, and shit on the desk.

Lord Scrummage Mold

Here's the mold, it looks beautiful.

silicone mold gi 100. It's a really good mold silicone. When you mix it, you have to de air it by putting it in a vacuum chamber. Luckily my internship has one that they let me use.

There are ways to get around it that I haven't done but heard. Mainly painting on a detail layer. I've done that before with other silicone and it works well, I just haven't done it with this.

Mold and cast of my hand

So, I've been working on this for a really long time. It's a silicone cast of my hand with an armature in it so I can animate it stop motion like.

Here's the mold as well.

Mold ready to pour for Scrummage Sculpture

Have my sculpture ready to pour the mold. I gotta figure something out for the hands. In the neck of the body is a square brass tubing stock. In the neck of the head is also a square brass tubing that is one size smaller. It fits perfectly into the body. This way I don't need to make the whole body a two part mold. I've explained how to clay up a two part mold before in a previous post.

Also interesting is that on many of my previous posts I've gotten a lot of responses posted in chinese. I assumed that these were some weird kind of spam. Thanks to my friend Ying, I gotten some of them translated. Turns out they just inspirational quotes. Weird... Thank you people who are posting your kind words.

Everybody likes forced perspectives

Howdy, howdy. Just finished animating this shot from a film I've been working on for a little over a year now. It's got a forced perspective, which is just cool.

Lord Scrummage Sculpture

This is a sculpture I've been working on for a long time now. The clay is chavant P-40. I'm planning on making a mold of it and making a bunch of plastic figurines. It's for my brother's band Lord Scrummage:
