Making A Mythical Creature
The Arkeline:
|
|
As the brief suggested, we could make near enough anything we desired alongside the animals. I have decided to attempt creating some living being of my own with rubbish, and it resulted in the winged; eye shaped insect that I call "Arkeline". It's very fantastical, but I wanted to create something akin to a biblically accurate angel or something from a H.P. Lovecraft horror story. I think the final product borders that line very closely.
The Making Of: Animal Improvisations
Making Plasticine Models.
For our first session with Dwayne (Technically second, but I saw Beetlejuice 2 that day as there was a choice to go see that instead). And we were given a celebrity to make out of plasticine clay. The celebrity I was given was the famous 1970s actor, country singer, and writer (just to name a few of his talents); Kris Kristofferson.I know him mainly from the Blade films as the supporting role of Whistler, which was one of his later acting roles before he focussed on writing.
Kris Kristofferson

The Crow/Eric Draven
I wasn't asked to continue, but I continued on to do two more just for my own personal enjoyment. My second one was of my favourite comic book's anti-hero protagonist (and who I try to model my appearance around in real life); Eric from James O'Barr's The Crow. I managed to find some of my old, borrowed clay from graphic design classmate; Chris, and got to work on another model of my own. I really enjoyed being re-introduced to clay/plasticine from my first project on mr Kristofferson that I found myself enamoured in making another.
Shadow The Hedgehog
My final model, was of another character I really liked, and that's Shadow The Hedgehog from the Sonic games by SEGA. I felt it was a unique challenge to create another model that's a bit more within the animated, cartoony universe than set in real life. Shadow resembles more basic shapes than the realistism of a human being, so it was quite enjoyable to mould and use the scalpel for finer details.
