This year has been eventful but the things on this post will be the trip to Pasadena to see Monsterpalooza then the painting class with Casey Love and finishing the 2001 A Space Odyssey sculpt.
Monsterpalooza was in a bigger location this year so many more things to see/do. Pete Oberg and I went all three days and it was awesome. I could do this every month. It was well attended by many of Hollywood's special effects people like Casey Love, Jordu Schell, Face Off hosts Glenn Hetrick, Ve Neill, Neville Page, Lois Burwell and numbers of past winners.
I signed up for a painting class with Casey Love during the event and below are some pictures of the class results. Casey was an excellent instructor and the paints used were from an acrylic set included with the class, as was the creature. It was mostly airbrushed.
The 2001 sculpt was many years in works learning how to do small things, but finally finished. The fur is black fox fur because it looks best at this scale and the sculpt (rocks and Moonwatcher body/face) is super Sculpey. Hands were to small to sculpt and have any strength so the hands, feet and sign were made in Blender, a sculpting software and then 3D printed.
