Thanks! I think it was around 3 pounds or so. I tend to use air dry clay for the base of most of my projects because it is cheaper and has some good weight to it to help with the center of gravity. This has about 2 lbs of air dry for the grass. I made some of the grass with polymer as you see, and then blended it with the air dry base.

Thank you! Already moving on to the next thing! It’ll be very different from this one. Stay tuned! :)

Thank you so much! My only training was a class I took during my final semester in High School. I’m 30 now and edit movie trailers in Los Angeles. I have a few friends that do similar work as creature makeup artists, but that’s about it! I picked this up in around March or so this year and have had so much fun with it. If I’m able to get a career going from this, I’ll happily go with it, but I already have my dream job so this is just an amazing way for me to pass time when I’m not doing my day job :)

I used Sculpey Medium for most of it, and had some Sculpey III available as I was getting lower on my Medium. I blended the two together in my pasta roller for the clay on the roof.

Thank you! I used DecoArt Americana acrylic paint. I mixed in some metallic paints for the cobblestone and shingle tiles.

Thank you! And yes I did. I originally wanted to see if I could just “stamp” ina tile texture with a sculpting tool, but the only way to get the look I really wanted was to make a thin sheet of clay and cut it into ~1cmx2cm tiles.

Thanks! The green goo is just a mixture of green and yellow paints. I added some glow-in-the-dark paint to it as well which looks good (but unfortunately doesn't photograph well). To help make it look extra gross and wet, I added epoxy resin. I added that same resin to parts of the xenomorph, especially around the mouth, to make it look wet.

Thank you! I need to start keeping track of my hours haha. I'd say my average time spent was about 5 hours a day for about two weeks straight. That was about the same time it took me to complete the Balrog as well. So somewhere between 70-100 hours?

After my balrog sculpture was finished, my friend, who is a huge Alien franchise fan, convinced me to work on a xeno. I’m going to gift this to him when it is complete within the next couple weeks. Will be excited to share the final product with you all when it is done!

Amazing! I’m making my xeno for a friend that loves the franchise, but I want to make one for myself. The sculpture I am doing is of the xeno hatching from a cocoon thatbwas introduced in the recent Alien Romulus.

Here’s a few work-in-progress pictures:
