Random crap with Uno.

I'm not having trouble believing that.

Well the second coat went much easier.  At least one more before I try to pull a copy.  Maybe 2 just to be sure that mouth/nose is secure. 

[Unorthodox]

third coat went slick...

Do I pull still warm or wait till cold, dis/advantages either way.

pumpkinhead is on.  just in time for the best scene.

Well, that didn't work.  zygomatic arch and all teeth broke.  Might try hydrocal before moving to resin.

I still have some ultracal from the lifecasting.  gonna try that.

I still wonder about the feasibility of casting some of the most problematic detail bits individually and gluing together, or something like that.  Maybe do the front separately from the back, at least?  Much easier to demold, I should think.

Hey - have you heard the story going around this weekend about the python that ate a porcupine?  Might be worth googling - the Facebook posts I see don't seem to link an actual article, but it's gotta be out there.

[Unorthodox]

and i'm beginning to remember why this didn't get used up...

Letting the ultracal cure fully before I try to pull. 

Got some work done on both Father and Mother last night. 

Most structure work done on Father now.  Got a little to do on his right arm, it's kinda temporarily attached right now, and some detail painting on the left arm, and I need to build a stand for the contest. 

Brighter light in the chest, finally found a use for those newfangled LED bulbs. 



Beginning of the structure on Mother. About 60% skinned.  We need to find some yard refuse for her arms and legs though.  Debating a third child, but might also go with even more children hanging elsewhere.  They will have umbillical/vines "hanging" them from in there, painted with a green wash, and a green light in the chest to highlight them as well, but orange lights are inside each of them to make the eyes pop.

Oh, really creepy last night, I'd gotten my batch of stuff done on mother, and was sitting there, the still wet fabric shifted in the breeze, gently back and forth...she appeared to be BREATHING!

Nice effect with the children inside.

Nice effect with the children inside.

Toyed with an idea early in design to put a translucent "skin" over the belly as well...might revisit once it's further along.

What the hell is CNN doing on my website? 

A LOT the last few days...

[Buster's Uncle]

The cable news?  Are you talking about comments or what?
