7/16/21 - Sculpt update on the Space Jockey - ALIEN 79 - 1:18 scale.
So after the inevitable cutting and resizing of the torso that almost made my work go viral for all the wrong reasons (I was briefly a cake designer on reddit it seems), it is once again whole and at this stage, complete.
Check out the comparison shot, before and after - the difference in length was a half an inch.
Along with the sculpt work that replaced that which was reduced and adjusted during the resize, I made sculpt changes to the creature's cranium, completed the detail behind the head and neck of the doomed pilot and reworked the sculpt of the hands to appear more bony and less fleshed out. I actually still have a bot of dremeling to do to the hands...and a moment ago I said this was complete (rolls eyes) LOL!
Next step, taking a break so I can get back to work on other projects. That being said, I know how I am and when there's a step needing to be done it will drive me crazy till it's complete so don't expect this project to be tabled anytime soon. BUT...believe I have the luxury of multitasking now LOL! Thinking about building up the remaining front of the chair, where the "canon" will sit. I'll have a better explanation in the update video that will follow up next week.
Thanks for checking in on my latest update! Hope you enjoy the pics! More to come!

Sculpt Update (IMAGES) on my 1:18 scaled Space Jockey - ALIENS 1979. Sculpted using Aves FIXIT Sculpt.
I've posted a video as well so please check that out. youtu.be/LL6moVvkzkI
I "dremeled" out a chasm to insert a separate sculpted piece of tubing that will be sculpted over to become a permanent fixture. I also carved out a portal to insert the "guard" that goes down the back of the chair, parallel to the interior tubing. Some adjustments need to be made and additional sculpting needs to be added but I'm very pleased with how it all fits.
One step closer to finishing the back of the chair!
Hope you enjoy the photos! Thanks again for all the comments and support! More updates coming!

Sculpt update on the Queen. ALIENS (86) - 1:18 scale. Work in progress.
Began sculpting the teeth. More precise, the maxillary teeth (upper jaw). First I built the upper maxilla that will fit separately in the head, marking each point where the teeth will be inserted. What I love about FIXIT is that during it's final hour of curing, you can carefully shape pieces to fit other parts of the sculpt without it permanently attaching or curing to that particular part. Example, the maxilla which I shaped to fit the roof of the mouth. This will help in molding and replication later.
Next was to sculpt each tooth, two at a time, one on either side. Once fully cured, I carve the teeth into shape using dental tools, giving them the appearance of settling into the gum line of the maxilla. So this process of sculpting, curing, carving took a good week to complete.
While that was going on I sculpting more detail to the head, This version will feature the lips fully extended, mouth fully drawn taut. I intend to do another version of the head having the mouth partially closed and relaxed.
Still refining the teeth. I need to fill in some spots and reduce others. Then I will add gum tissue around each tooth. This piece will later be cast in clear resin so I may have the teeth appear to be translucent.
More to come!! Will begin working on the lower jaw soon then back to other projects that deserve some attention.

Sculpt update on The Queen - Aliens (86) - and the Egg Morpher - Aliens: Defiance - Dark Horse Comics. Both 1:18 scale.
The Queen
Completed the rough sculpt of the lower mandible and teeth. The lower mandible is a skeletal sculpt for the moment while I adjust and refine the teeth. After the lower teeth are complete, flesh detail will be added to the mandible.
The teeth are being sculpted on a separate pallet, so when completed can have a mold made and cast in clear resin. The teeth are individually sculpted using Aves FIXIT sculpt, a two-part epoxy from Aves Studio LLC. Once cured, I've begun refining each using dental tools and fine-grit sandpaper. Hope to have them at a full shine similar to the top set of teeth soon.
I still have to sculpt the gum line for the lower teeth and the pallet will eventually be set deeper into the lower mandible than what you see here. Many adjustments will be made after castings are made. Then additional casts will be made.
Do the top and bottom teeth line up? Close but not really - not too concerned with that since my sculpt will feature multiple head sculpts and not a jointed jaw. So perfect alignment isn't a priority here...although I will do my best to get it as close as possible before making molds.
The Egg Morpher
Began filling the detail to the back "pipes" of the beast. I've also begun the sculpt of the creature's hands which will be very similar to the Giger Alien hands but larger. The rough sculpt right now resemble Bugs Bunny gloves and not that of the nightmarish xenomorph but no worries, that will all change....just how I work.
Hope you enjoyed the updates!!! Trying to get an update knocked out each week. If not, every other week for sure with updates in between.
Questions are welcome! Thanks again!

Some more "unrefined" detail work at 1:18 scale....Unrefined because I haven't gone back to clean up the curves and sharpen edges yet. Serious detailing in such a small space...I admire those that can add detailing to scales even smaller than this!! A bigger reveal with my next blog update..delayed a week but will be up soon :)

Scale shot of the Praetorian Xenomorph head sculpt next to the Spitter xeno which are similar in design but the Praetorian is obviously going to be a larger build, using mainly the 79 Big Chap's body with longer limbs.

Sculpt material used - Aves FIXIT Sculpt by Aves Clay
So I'm only a couple of hours sculpt time to completing the back on the Space Jockey! I am currently working on the piping that is located behind the head of the creature.
Completed the sculpt to the other side and I'm happy with how it all balanced out. Took a couple of adjustments which meant sanding down a cured area and sculpting over but that's the name of the game when working with epoxy. Glad that's over with! :)
When the back is done, I plan to begin working on the front of the Jockey, where the eventual "cannon" will connect. I will take a break however and work on other projects that need attention (including some alien work).
I hope you all enjoy the updated images and for all you Alien fans out there, I hope you had a GREAT ALIEN DAY!

Sculpt update on the Egg Morpher or Praetorian Xenomorph - 1:18 scale - Aliens: Defiance, Dark Horse Comics. Completed phase 1 of the head sculpt, next step will be making a mold, then sculpting the variations of the mouth...that's if the mold and castings come out! :) Began building the upper torso of the figure (update coming soon). Used AVes FIXIT to create the sculpt. More to come! #avesfixit #avesstudio #alien #aliens #xenomorph #Praetorian #sculpture #miniature #darkhorsecomics #defiance
Sculpt update on The Queen - (Aliens 86) and the Egg Morpher (Aliens: Defiance). All 1:18 scale, sculpted using Aves FIXIT sculpt by Aves Studio LLC.
Began sculpting the lower jaw of the Queen. Started with a rough sculpt of the jaw, eyeballing the proportion and adding addition girth to the sculpt that once cured can be reduced through carving and sanding.
You can see my progression via the images attached. The next step will be to add a separate gumline that will include a set of lower teeth. Again, separate from the jaw so I can cast the piece in clear resin when it's time for replication.
The "neck" of the queen will need to be reworked once the master casts have been made. I'm using the smaller Revoltech Queen figure as an articulation reference for much of the articulation points for my sculpt.
For the Eggmorpher from Defiance, I've been sculpting the details to the back of the creature including the "pipes" as I like to call them as well as the separate spinal piece that emerges just below the back of the neck.
Next challenge for this sculpt will be the hands and the upper legs.
I've got a ton of pieces to mold and cast. And since just getting over a bad illness and this hurricane scare, it put me off a couple weeks. Sorry about that. I will always try for sure to get one update a week...don't want anyone to think I've fallen off LOL!
Hope you enjoyed the update! Always, more to come!

Sculpt progress on the Space Jockey - ALIEN (1979) 1:18 scale.
Sculpt material used is Aves FIXIT Sculpt from Aves Clay.
My first progress post of 2021! Took a month to get here but better late than never! Sorry for the delays but I've been wrestling with that ol' uninspired feeling as of late and I know other artists have been going through it as well. The best medicine is to battle through it till that spark becomes a raging fire again and that's what exactly what I'm doing!
So I've started on the upper back detail which I've had to move slowly with because visuals offered isn't as detailed as I would have liked so it took me some time to get the right reference material which I luckily found. Now I feel I'm heading in the right direction.
I'll let the photos do the talking. You'll see that I'm doing one half, middle and then the remaining half instead of just working the whole area. Helps with keeping perspective and is easier to make adjustments to if I royally screw things up.
Hope you enjoy the updated pics! More to come now that I'm getting things back on track. More projects will also find their way to the table for updates. Thanks for your continued support and interest in my work!

7/16/21 - Sculpt update on the Space Jockey - ALIEN 79 - 1:18 scale.
So after the inevitable cutting and resizing of the torso that almost made my work go viral for all the wrong reasons (I was briefly a cake designer on reddit it seems), it is once again whole and at this stage, complete.
Check out the comparison shot, before and after - the difference in length was a half an inch.
Along with the sculpt work that replaced that which was reduced and adjusted during the resize, I made sculpt changes to the creature's cranium, completed the detail behind the head and neck of the doomed pilot and reworked the sculpt of the hands to appear more bony and less fleshed out. I actually still have a bot of dremeling to do to the hands...and a moment ago I said this was complete (rolls eyes) LOL!
Next step, taking a break so I can get back to work on other projects. That being said, I know how I am and when there's a step needing to be done it will drive me crazy till it's complete so don't expect this project to be tabled anytime soon. BUT...believe I have the luxury of multitasking now LOL! Thinking about building up the remaining front of the chair, where the "canon" will sit. I'll have a better explanation in the update video that will follow up next week.
Thanks for checking in on my latest update! Hope you enjoy the pics! More to come!

Sculpt update on the Space Jockey - 1:18 scale, ALIEN 79.
Using Aves FIXIT Sculpt...
Finished sculpting the right arm of the creature Happy to begin building more of the chair itself. Actually, I'm not really certain where the body ends and the chair begins LOL! I think that's what's so intriguing behind H.R. Giger's creation and why so many are frustrated with the Prometheus Engineer chair.
That controversy aside, the control sticks are in the works, and I've started the build on the back and sides of the chair. The piece weighs in at 10.5 lbs so far! I need it to be heavy to be able to comfortably hold the towering "cannon" that will eventually be jetting away from the fossilized pilot.
More updates coming! Hope you enjoy the update and thanks again for your continued interest in my work!! ❤

Sculpt Update (IMAGES) on my 1:18 scaled Space Jockey - ALIENS 1979. Sculpted using Aves FIXIT Sculpt.
I've posted a video as well so please check that out. youtu.be/LL6moVvkzkI
I "dremeled" out a chasm to insert a separate sculpted piece of tubing that will be sculpted over to become a permanent fixture. I also carved out a portal to insert the "guard" that goes down the back of the chair, parallel to the interior tubing. Some adjustments need to be made and additional sculpting needs to be added but I'm very pleased with how it all fits.
One step closer to finishing the back of the chair!

Sculpt progress on the 1:18 scaled Space Jockey - ALIEN 1979.
Sculpt material used - Aves FIXIT Sculpt by Aves Clay
So I'm only a couple of hours sculpt time to completing the back on the Space Jockey! I am currently working on the piping that is located behind the head of the creature.
Completed the sculpt to the other side and I'm happy with how it all balanced out. Took a couple of adjustments which meant sanding down a cured area and sculpting over but that's the name of the game when working with epoxy. Glad that's over with! :)
When the back is done, I plan to begin working on the front of the Jockey, where the eventual "cannon" will connect. I will take a break however and work on other projects that need attention (including some alien work).
I hope you all enjoy the updated images and for all you Alien fans out there, I hope you had a GREAT ALIEN DAY!

Sculpt progress on the Space Jockey - ALIEN (1979) 1:18 scale.
Sculpt material used is Aves FIXIT Sculpt from Aves Clay.
My first progress post of 2021! Took a month to get here but better late than never! Sorry for the delays but I've been wrestling with that ol' uninspired feeling as of late and I know other artists have been going through it as well. The best medicine is to battle through it till that spark becomes a raging fire again and that's what exactly what I'm doing!
So I've started on the upper back detail which I've had to move slowly with because visuals offered isn't as detailed as I would have liked so it took me some time to get the right reference material which I luckily found. Now I feel I'm heading in the right direction.
I'll let the photos do the talking. You'll see that I'm doing one half, middle and then the remaining half instead of just working the whole area. Helps with keeping perspective and is easier to make adjustments to if I royally screw things up.
Hope you enjoy the updated pics! More to come now that I'm getting things back on track. More projects will also find their way to the table for updates. Thanks for your continued support and interest in my work!

7/16/21 - Sculpt update on the Space Jockey - ALIEN 79 - 1:18 scale.
So after the inevitable cutting and resizing of the torso that almost made my work go viral for all the wrong reasons (I was briefly a cake designer on reddit it seems), it is once again whole and at this stage, complete.
Check out the comparison shot, before and after - the difference in length was a half an inch.
Along with the sculpt work that replaced that which was reduced and adjusted during the resize, I made sculpt changes to the creature's cranium, completed the detail behind the head and neck of the doomed pilot and reworked the sculpt of the hands to appear more bony and less fleshed out. I actually still have a bot of dremeling to do to the hands...and a moment ago I said this was complete (rolls eyes) LOL!
Next step, taking a break so I can get back to work on other projects. That being said, I know how I am and when there's a step needing to be done it will drive me crazy till it's complete so don't expect this project to be tabled anytime soon. BUT...believe I have the luxury of multitasking now LOL! Thinking about building up the remaining front of the chair, where the "canon" will sit. I'll have a better explanation in the update video that will follow up next week.

Sculpt update on the 1:18 scale Space Jockey - ALIEN 79.
Completed one of the hands to the fossilized pilot. It's excruciated grip on the control stick as its life violently ended. I also worked a bit on the back end of the pilot. Will sculpt the remaining detail of the control stick before flipping and sculpting the same on the other side. Using Aves FIXIT Sculpt by Aves Clay
One of the mistakes I've seen sculptors do when recreating this piece is the process of making both sides are identical. News flash - They are nowhere near identical. It can get a little confusing at times as well when pouring through pages of images from artists verses the original Giger production prop. Some of which wasn't photographed well on set so you have to find other sources to give you an idea for reference. It can be a challenge but just as fun
More to come!

Got some new toys in the mail today... :D
Not happy with the lighting on this one. My Alien shot is better (next in stream).

I "dremeled" out a chasm to insert a separate sculpted piece of tubing that will be sculpted over to become a permanent fixture. I also carved out a portal to insert the "guard" that goes down the back of the chair, parallel to the interior tubing. Some adjustments need to be made and additional sculpting needs to be added but I'm very pleased with how it all fits.
