The Innsmouth Girl- update

After my sketch of the Innsmouth Girl a while ago she saw several incarnations in clay. This picture is the work in progress from a week ago. I'm much happier with this version. She's seen a lot more work/detailing this week & is very near completion now, with only the hair & a few details on the base remaining.

Creating bases for sculpts is a thing that haunts me constantly. The Innsmouth idea has become not only this bust, but two more now, with an old fisherman & a priest of Dagon in mid-sculpt. With them came the thematic base idea that I hope carries well for all. Each is a slight variation on old wooden mooring posts & seaside 'bits'. I'll update with full pictures of the finished piece this weekend I think.

Another sculpting jam- Animation Characters

Another old Clubhouse jam was for characters from film animations. I'd chosen Other Mother from Coraline, although the movie hadn't yet been released. I found what I could from commercials & this was the result. I remember wishing there was more time before to complete this the jam ended. Maybe she'll get the hands I missed & a coat of paint sometime soon.

Clubhouse sculpting jams- Portraits

One of my favourite parts of The Clubhouse sculpting forum is the weekly jams. Always a new challenge, and hopefully expanding my skills, I look forward to these.

My entry for the portrait jam was Vinnie Jones, as Mahogany (Midnight Meat Train). I think I came close, but still see details I could have changed.

Return of the King

I thought I'd move a few things from the old blog today. The King is still a work in progress. I've never been able to imagine the right base for this piece, so he sits patiently... waiting for the 'final tour' on the work table.

The Whisperer in Darkness

The Whisperer in Darkness is now in editing! I loved the silent film version of Call of Cthulhu, and the first 'talky' filmed in beautiful Mythoscope is looking good.

Art & Animatronics

(EDIT: This video is no longer available, but the site link below is still accurate & well worth the visit!)


Absolutely mesmerising work from artist- Thomas Kuntz. Perhaps you've seen his work before. From beginnings 20 years ago as a figurative sculpture of old horror movie characters, he has moved on to animatronic devices and prop works in film & music video.

Once you've enjoyed the above piece, grab a coffee & enjoy his site... You'll be there for a while.

Artist Inspirations

While I generally have an insatiable appetite for all things Lovecraftian, artist Andrea Bonazzi serves a more than ample feast of mythos related talents here. I'm sure I've seen some pieces in the past, but had never found this site until now.

Clever montages like that above, well-wrought tablets & sculptures, and pipes that would tempt even a non-smoker to a bowl and brandy by the fire... All inspirational to any HPL fan!

The Innsmouth Girl

A work in progress & inspired by H.P. Lovecraft's mythos, this girl has haunted my thoughts for some time. The cult of Dagon calls this poor Innsmouth girl, and the transformation begins.

I seldom sketch concepts for sculptures (though I should), and this marks the first attempt in some time. As something of a side-project, I hope to begin the actual sculpture by Christmas.
