Sijun Forums :: View topic - BEWARE! My SCULPTURE of BORIS KARLOFF as FRANKENSTEIN

JohnC · Posted: Mon Oct 22, 2001 2:38 pm

Hi again everyone! To celebrate Halloween, I'd like to show you another one of my favorite sculptures.

This sculpture is of Boris Karloff as Frankenstein's Monster. The size is about 10 inches tall. He is sculpted out of Super Sculpey. I sculpted this last year for a model company whom recently went out of buisness and sadly are no longer making the model.

I spent about 3 months on it and it was my first sculpture at trying to sculpt a likeness. I have been told I pretty much nailed it.

I hope you guys enjoy him!

Thanks!

The bolts were made seperatly out of metal. Thats why they arent on the sculpt.

Umm... wow.

I'm taking ceramics right now and although it's not entirely the same, after struggling with something as simple as pinch pots for 2 months I'm simply amazed that people can create things like this. It's really amazing. Good work.

Nond�.... !

Will it be possible to know asap when you have a website up ?

Please ?

Your modeling skills are obvious. Altho I'd love to have a size relation hint in the pics of your works. I was in shock when I saw your other work of that Asian fighter and your (?) hand on the second picture. "Oh my gawd ! I thought it was MUCH bigger !"
Just 2c of curiosity..

I typically sculpt figures between 8 to 14 inches tall. Sometimes smaller, sometimes bigger. In the Model kit market figures are generally about 12 inches tall. The asian female fighter is actually one of my smaller pieces.
