Before and After

Well I am just about ready to create a mold and cast a head of my new character. Here are a few pictures of the sculpture. This finished sculpture is quite a bit different than what I started out with. The top picture is from last week, and the other three are from tonight. Stay Tuned. MontanaDan

Ventriloquist Dummy Creation

I have realized that there are all kinds of characters I can create with the Butler head. A little Magic Sculpt goes a long way and the possibilities are endless. This is one of my Hobo Characters. He should be ready to go sleep under your bridge sometime this week. MontanaDan

Ventriloquist Dummy Sculpture

Here is a New Character I am currently working on. I like to let my imagination take over when I am creating a new character. This guy seems to be kind of a know it all, but also a bit of a comedian. Stay tuned for future updates. Montanadan

Different Idea

Well I am trying something new with my newest Ventriloquist Dummy Head, a "Sliding Jaw" I have attached a few pictures, and so far it seems to be working out very well. The jaw slides up and down to open and close, is very quiet and smooth. It took some work to create this operation, but that is half the fun. The eyes are not mounted inside yet, so they look a little off. I like the way the molded hair turned out. I had to reshape the neck and chin a bit, and build up around the sides of the mouth to close the gaps, and hide the side of the jaw when it slides open. The painted pictures at top show the results. So far so good. I still need a name. Anyway, enjoy the pics of a work in progress. MontanaDan

New Ventriloquist Dummy Head

I made a mold and mother-mold today, and cast two heads of my newest character.
I will probably take a break over Christmas, and I am waiting for some parts to arrive that I ordered from Braylu. I will most likely start on this fellow sometime next week. Now all I need is a name? MontanaDan

New Ventriloquist Character

Well I am in the process of making a New Ventriloquist Character. I am just about finished with the sculpture in clay, and about ready to make a new silicone mold.
This is my first attempt at a full size head, suitable for a larger body, 3T/4T.
I sculpted the eyebrows and the entire hair on the head. I think he will be easy to paint and put together, once I cast the head. Here are a few sneak peek Pics.

This guy received an even newer look. I repainted him with a 5 O'clock Shadow. He could be a Skid Row Joe, or an Old Salty Dog! You never know.
