Mushie Butts
In my spare time recently, I have been making these little resin mushroom figures I have named "Mushie Butts". I sculpted them initially out of monster clay, which is a wax-based clay which can be sculpted when warmed. Once I was happy with the sculpt, I made a one part cut mould out of silicone. Once this had cured, I was able to start casting with a two-part fast cast resin. After 30 minutes or so I could demould them, prime and paint them. I wanted their shading and blushing to be soft looking, so I opted to used chalk pastels for this. Between layers of shading, I would apply a solvent sealant in order to build opacity. Once the desired colour had been achieved, I could paint on the eyes and finish them with a gloss varnish.
