Sculpt progress on Zhora (Dancer version) - Blade Runner 1:18 scale. More like adjustments before the sculpt. I thinned out the legs and accented the hips a bit. Difficult to see the progress with the black frame coming through - makes the sculpt appear rough..and it still is but not as much as before and will definitely be cleaner the next round after I finish sculpting the rest of her body, namely the upper arms and chest. Found an older cast of a sculpt I did awhile back for the head but it's not ready for a reveal till more details can be added. Shot taken with my iPhone so sorry about the quality. More to come! #bladerunner #zhora #replicant #dancer #snakes #joannacassidy #sculpt
Sculpt progress on the Neomorph - 1:18 scale - Alien: Covenant. Completed the initial head sculpt of the beast - open mouth, attack. The next step will be to mold and cast successfully. At that point, I can take a couple quality casts and mod the sculpt to create the other two variants. Began work on the upper torso of the Neomorph - update coming soon.Sculpted using Aves FIXIT Sculpt from Aves Studio LLC.
This sculpt inspired by the concept/production art by Colin Shulver - www.artstation.com/artwork/bxJYo

From the Dark Horse comic series Knights of the Old Republic, written by John Jackson Miller, comes my completed Zayne Carrick as he appeared in part four of Commencement.
Big, heavy and well worn, Zayne's suit has been sculpted and painted to appears to be a mix of woven material, leather and a lightweight metal alloy which includes a working removable helmet and PlSS (Primary Life-Support Subsystem) backpack.
Additional images of my New Republic Shocktrooper - This one is closest to completion...I have three more that are in various stages.
Sculpt update on the Alien Warrior - ALIENS - 1:18 scale. Completed the head sculpt last week, castings are coming out very nice happy to say. Now it's time to sculpt the upper torso. I sculpt from top to bottom, right to left (or vise versa) so the progress you see here will be will need to be repeated for the opposite side tonight. Helps me with perspective and proportion..and with only having a few hours work time before full cure,I can only work a little at a time. #aliens #alien #warrior #xenomorph #hive #queen #sulaco #colonialmarine #sculpture #avesfixit #avesstudio
Paint progress on "The Beast" - ALIEN 79 - 1:18 scale. Some quick smartphone shots of the workbench along with some more creative images...nothing as "phallic" as one of my last shots LOL!#alien #nostromo #painting #giger
Paint progress on The Beast: Airshaft - ALIEN 79 - 1:18 scale.
I know it's been awhile - believe me. Nobody is more happy than I to get back to some figure work. It's been a crazy few weeks but I've finally found some time to invest in a piece I started a few years back.
A recap...This is a static posed figure...well, more semi-static. There's articulation in the neck, shoulders, elbows and wrists. The dome is vacuum formed from PETG plastics that can snap on and off the length of the cranium. The figure can fit in the palm of your hand to give you an idea of scale. I have this piece and the "crab walker" which are variants from my original fully articulated sculpt of the Giger beast.
I'd like to try one, possibly two more static posed versions of the creature - the "box alien" as seen in the illustrated adaptation of the film and possibly a hanging version as seen before Brett's demise in the landing bay.
Much of what you see is stylized, I get it - reason?...Because at the moment, most of the figure has been painted with a flat back coat...and visually that's boring. Would have to blow it out with a strobe to get that detail and for right now I don't think it's necessary,
Only the head and arms have been detailed but not complete. Just had some fun with the camera/mood effects this time around. More to come! I have time to work on this and the "crab walker" for a bit this weekend! YAY! #alien #alien79project #giger #airshaft #nostromo #painting #acrylics
Completed Jedi Master Luke Skywalker as seen in issue #3 of Star Wars Invasion by Dark Horse Comics. Luke is in command of Republic forces sent to the planet Rychel in order to repel the invading forces of the Yuuzhan Vong.
The figure was mostly sculpted in Aves Epoxy FIXIT sculpt using a plastic articulated armature. The forearms and hands have been recasted from original parts. The head originalted from a Legacy Snowspeeder Luke figure, casted in wax and completly retooled and refined adding additional markings to the face, age lines, a lower brow, hair and ears...I also strengthened the jaw. The figure measures 3.75" in height. Painted using Floyquil Acrylics by testors.
The first of two semi-static posed figures of the creature from the 1979 film, Alien. Hand sculpted, hand painted. This version depicts the beast as it would have appeared in several promotional test shots during pre-production, the air duct scene where Captain Dallas met his end as well as a deleted scene appearing within the corridor while Parker and Lambert were making their desperate escape.
Figure is approx. 3" high from highest point on head to the feet. Articulated neck, shoulders, elbows, wrists. Vacuum formed PETG dome is removable.
Original was sculpted using Aves FIXIT sculpt, a two part epoxy. Parts were cast in resin and assembled to build this version. Used Model Masters Polly Scale and Tamiya acrylics.

Sculpt progress on The Space Jockey - 1:18 scale. Finished half of the lower portion of the torso sculpt. Taking a break tonight from sculpting but will be back at it tomorrow to complete the torso and begin working on the hands. #alien #spacejockey #sculpture #hrgiger #derelict #nostromo #diorama #art #sithfire30
Sculpt progress on the Derelict Corridor Diorama - ALIEN 79 - 1:18 scale. Still building the surface of the corridor and began to build the opposite wall per the design they used in the production build. The top and bottom sections of the new wall are held with aluminum rods and will be sculpted over and gaps filled with Aves FIXIT sculpt. Unfortunately I ran out of casting material so I'll have to wait to complete the entire casting of the bones needed to finish the build. #alien #derelict #nostromo #giger #biomechanicalart #corridor #sithfire30
Sculpt update on the Space Jockey - 1:18 scale - ALIEN (79).
Material used - Aves FIXIT Sculpt from Aves Clay
Completed the sculpt of the "control sticks" for each hand, "the interface" and detail along the back of the pilot's chair. I want to tackle the upper rear of the pilot chair before moving onto another project. Been a couple additional weeks than I planned to work on this piece but I'm "in the zone" so to speak and want to continue while not suffering a loss of interest. I'm doing this in my own time and not for a client so I have that luxury.
Crazy to think I look at this piece as becoming an "action figure accessory" or some part of a 1:18 scaled play set. It's where my mindset is...always has been since this ALIEN 79 project started. It just so happens that it's a sculpture study at the same time LOL!
I've taken care to be as accurate as possible to the Giger production version of the doomed pilot but I'm sure a few spots have emerged as "best interpretation" at this point. I'm not looking to be 100% spot on. I don't think anyone who has taken on this project has. I hope those of you who are die hard Space Jockey fans will be forgiving.
The second line of figures I will be sculpting for 2012 will be characters (and creatures) from Ridley Scott's upcoming prequel to the 1979 Alien 0 PROMETHEUS!
Sculpt progress on AVA - Ex Machina - 1/12 scale. Because I'm forever curious, I decided to do some vacuum forming tests of Ava's torso, neck and skull cap. The images you see are the results. Would like to find a tighter mesh but for the tests I'm excited about the figures progression smile emoticon #exmachina #ava #A24 #robots #aliciavikander #sith_fire30
Completed 1:18 scale, 4.25" tall sculpt of Darth Malgus - Sith Lord from the Lucasarts/Bioware MMO game Star Wars: The Old Republic.
Figure is a complete sculpt using a custom articluated frame as it's armature. The 8 different heads have all been sculpted and hand painted - each depicting a window of time in the life of Malgus and inspired by the cinematic trilogies created by Blur Studios: Return, Hope and Deceived.

All armor is hand sculpted and original. The chest and left shoulder armor are removable and can be replaced with "battle damaged" armor as an alternate. Hood is a sculpted piece and works along side the soft goods cape which is an altered piece from a store bought VOTC Darth Vader.
Lightsaber is hand sculpted, casted in plastic. Saber does not light up. Bean is removable from hilt.
Sculpted using Aves FIXIT sculpt and hand painted using Testors Polly Scale and Floquil acrylics.
Sculpt progress on the Alien Warrior - 1:18 scale - ALIENS 86. Continuing with the sculpt build of the upper torso and I'm happy with how it's turning out. It's a slow process and many have asked why...well,for one, I'm using epoxy that has a four hour cure rate and most significantly I only have a couple hours in the evenings to work on it and even then not every evening...if this was a full time gig the warrior would be completed in no time. More updates to come! #alien #aliens #warrior #xenomorph #alienday

I have completed the sculpt to this version of Starkiller from The Force Unleashed 2 - Arena Combat Gear. Next the figure will be primed then painted. Figure is in 1:18 scale sculpted using Aves FIXIT sculpt - a two part epoxy. Also includes casted materials and fabric.
Been wanting to get these ladies on the workbench for awhile now :) Hasbro may never produce these two so it's up to us I guess LOL! One will be a bit shorter than the other, the photo doesn't seem to reflect this but rest assured it will be so.
I hope these early images show you how much effort goes into creating these figures - probably the most difficult part of building one of these is the early stages, creating a working armature that will allow the articulation I want as well as support the sculpt work I intend to apply.

I am revisiting my ongoing work on an ultimate Darth Vader - this time updating articulation and reworking the helmet. The helmet you see below is the older version - just wanted to show the new updated articulation. The feet come from one of the Halo figures by McFarlane toys. These will of course be "dremeled" down and resculpted. The helmet is going through a complete resculpt...and I'm talkin' complete. I work on one section, mold and cast, then a next phase. So far I've completed the mouth piece, nose and helmet plate. Once the helmet is finalized, I will cast again to begin creating a three piece using the magnets I've spoken of in an earlier entry. I will also be working on a head sculpt of Anakin (Vader).
