~I describe my characters as D&D meets Jim Henson 😂💜~
What an amazing and happy weekend this TPE2024 was! This is a character I've been wanting to do for a few years now. The original inspiration was one of my favourite illustrations from the great
@geraldbrom "Troll". The design evolved to be slightly cuter though, as I wanted to use the model's eyes and have custom contacts lenses, and the final design was an older Druid character.
I sculpted the head and facial prosthetics on a plaster lifecast of the model in
@chavantclay medium NPS clay. I floated the face off, and transferred the head onto a
@neillsmaterials head armature, to mould the cowl separately and right away, without making a resin cast copy.
Both cowl & face were run in deadened PlatsilGel 25, pre-painted with punched hair to add to the older look (a mixture of yak hair, kanekalon and human beard hair from the model). The horns were moulded separately and run in Gun Foam, with big neodymium magnets attached to them (and the cowl), for a quick and easy application, without having to make a skull cap (for the comfort of the model).
The costume was made using a mixture of fabrics: synthetic leather, suedette, gauze fabric, recycled Faux fur (from winter hats from a charity shop!), and waxed leather thread. The cane was made combining 3 halloween staffs, joining them and sculpting all over them using worbla and foam clay. The sign was made out of plywood.
The application took about 3.5-4 hours, with the invaluable help from my assistant Mollie!
