I've been recently experimenting with a new homemade sculpting materiel, cold porcelain. I first sculpted some Krampus masks right on my head using brown contractor paper coated with contact cement. Instead of the usual paper mache skin that we usually put on Mardi Gras props, I wanted something sturdier, and with a sculpt-able consistency. As you can see in the pictures this is working out well. The main problem was working out the right amount of ingredients. It varied from a taffy like putty to an actual clay. It also began to dry pretty quickly. I had to work fast.There was also some cracking where the varying applications met. Once they're cleaned up, painted, hair added, they'll look great.
I'm professional Illustrator, Sculptor, and fine artist Jared Osterhold. This blog is a space for me to share paintings, sketches, doodles and sculptures of my wretched, deformed, ghoulish, evil creations. They've been locked in the dungeons of my mind and hard drives to long, and they long to pay you a visit. The purpose is to share, hopefully inspire, and network with those with similar interests. I'm a multifaceted person, and one of those facets is a horror and sci-fi nerd.
