This is a fiberglass bird creature mask I made for an independent short film by Dorian Cleavenger called, ”The Companion.”  After everything was finished, molded and fiberglassed, I had to adjust the “helmet” to fit more as a mask, so I cut the back half off, sanded down the edges and refit the mask on my head, it ended up working out well and gave me more room to breathe.

My little Steampunk-O-Pus - Sculpted him out of chavant clay then molded him in silicone. It was a real pain to mold him, with all those tentacles I’m surprised he came out looking so good.  After the mold was finished I used resin to fill the molds and 15 mins later, POOF!* this 3.5” octopus was born.  With a little sanding and a cool paint job, he was finally complete.

Sculpture - Monster bird bust
I sculpted, molded, and painted this guy and it took an entire semester to complete, but I’m really happy with the end result.  Made out of poly-foam, he stands over two feet tall and will happily eat your soul if you backtalk.

Another process pictures of my work on the Monster bird creature I made during my time in school at the Tom Savini’s Special Effects Make-up program.  It took me a few weeks to figure out what color scheme I wanted and then maybe a month total to paint. I wasn’t sure where I wanted to go but as you can see in the bottom two pictures he had a kind of purplish tone to him at first, though I really liked how that I was going, I ended up going with the warmer tones instead.

A sketch I did for my Advance Mold Making class. We had the whole semester to do it and we could choose to do a bust or a Halloween type mask and I decided to do a large bust. :) So I went with this design that was inspired by Jim Henson’s Dark Crystal.

Paolo Ventura - Winter Stories (2010)

“Scenes from the memory bank of a fictional circus performer as he looks back on his life during his final moments.

Using his own childhood memories, beautiful miniature figures, and extraordinarily detailed sets constructed from props purchased at flea markets, Ventura creates a fictional Northern Italian town where a traveling carnival has stopped.

His work evokes a simpler time from Italy’s past, but with a dark twist—shadowy backdrops and retreating figures remind us that this is not quite Eden.”
