Latex Mask Central LMC: Why did you become interested in making creatures? JS: I think that my first interest, or fascination, was the art of simulation. This fascination led me to be very curious and obsessed with practical jokes like fake dog crap, fake puke, fake rocks, etc.,etc. I had tons of this stuff as a kid—it was all I wanted to buy with my allowance. Ironically--probably because these items were found most often at magic shops, and I was spending a lot of time in them--my dad thought I wanted to be a magician. LMC: Did you create monsters as a kid? JS: Oh yeah. LMC: Did your parents work as artists? JS: Neither of my parents were particularly drawn to visual art, although they definitely had talent in a number of areas. LMC: What artists and monsters inspired you growing up? JS: The first movie I can remember that really scared the shit out of me was “The Brain That Wouldn’t Die”. LMC: What brought you out to L.A.? LMC: Talk about Screaming Mad George--the man himself.

Blender 3D: Noob to Pro/Modeling a Simple Person - Wikibooks, collection of open-content textbooks Your simple person will look like this. In this module, you will model a simple human figure. Along the way, you will practice using extrusion and learn additional ways to select vertices, edges, and faces. Start a New Scene[edit] Start with the default cube (File → Load Factory Settings) and NumLock "on".Press Tab to edit the cube.Scale the cube down 50% by pressing S . 5KEY ENTER . Selection Methods[edit] Just as you did for the house model, you will begin by selecting the top four vertices of the cube. Ease of selection depends partly on the viewport settings and viewpoint. For clarity, use a view of the cube in which all vertices are visible: Go to right side view with Num3 .Disable the manipulator widget with Ctrl + Space .Make sure the Limit selection to visible option is "off". The picture on the right shows the cube with the correct vertices selected. To begin, make sure you start in Vertex select mode. Border Select Tool[edit] Practice selecting the top four vertices this way.
NECA - National Entertainment Collectibles Association Anatomy For Sculptors How can I make paint stick to my castings? | Mold Making and Casting Materials Rubber, Plastic, Lifecasting, and More You’ve made the perfect mold and have just poured Smooth-Cast liquid plastic into the mold to make a reproduction. The plastic cures, and you demold the piece to reveal a casting that looks exactly like the original. Your next step is to paint the casting for outdoor display, but when you try to apply the paint, it beads up on the casting surface and won’t stick. Urethane plastics can be hard to paint, and there are a number of variables that can affect the outcome. If you are using a urethane rubber mold and casting urethane resin, you must use a release agent to facilitate demold. There are a couple of ways to get the benefits of using a release agent and still have a casting ready for painting following demold. Powder Coating Technique - Powder coating the mold with Ure-Fil 7, baby powder or talc following the application of a release agent. Prior to casting the resin, Ease Release 200 is applied to the mold followed by a powder coating of Ure-Fil 7.
