Face hugger

i was fist informed about the south shields exhibition through my tutor at the time i knew instantly i wanted to create this monumental peace of famous TV history for all to enjoy. 

in creating this fragile peace i started with the body and worked on getting all the detail i could to as close to the ones weave all admired on screen, working with super sculpey a cook-able hard drying clay I've found to be so efficient in the molding structural integrity before and after being cooked and best of all light weight perfect for moving and can be put on top of almost every type of platform with no worry of collapse, super sculpey is also a perfect alternative to clay when making a variety of molds not including plaster molds unless done in specific way to keep the core intact.

  

working with super sculpey has been one of my more pleasant experiences with oven drying clay's and i would recommend it to future model makers.

 (Remember to keep price in mined)

the face huger itself was made with pure super sculpey and wire in the arms leading into the body to hold the shape of the legs and so that it could hold its own weight as it stood. 

Ridley Scott exhibition South Shields egg

the egg for the Ridley Scot exhibition was different in the sens it was had to get the right shape of the egg at the same time the time was moving on at this point. 

the quickest solution as you see was obtaining a chocolate egg eat the chocolate! most important part. 

I then used the older as a mold to cast the two half and glue them together then it was just a matter of adding detail such as the opening layers and the tentacles coming from the base of the egg.

the weight of the egg is a bit more than what i would have liked for moving sake but with time limit and budget you can only do so much with what you have.

this project was quite the undertaking but I'm proud to of had my work exhibited right next to the grate Ridley Scott in exhibiting an iconic movie that shocked children to this day  and had gone down in movie history that revolutionized an era.
