Impressive! Dagon is one of my favorite lovecraftian characters: As a coastal dweller, I fancy Him more. Your puppet is not only made of silicone, but of knowledge, patience, effort and love for what you’re doing, and those are the finest materials to work with. Congratulations.
@TheLoneAnimator4 жыл бұрын
Thanks! I think Dagon is the ultimate Lovecraft story. So much of what he (and others) wrote later comes out of this single story. I actually didn't use any silicone for this puppet; I rarely do. It's all good old liquid latex :)

@@TheLoneAnimator it's me again ,and I would like to ask if gedeo latex can be used aswell for the skin and how could I paint it?
@TheLoneAnimator3 жыл бұрын
@@stefanosmarkopoulos Gedeo latex is more creamy than the milky latex I prefer to use, but apart from that, it has the same qualities when it has dried. To get a paint for your puppet that won't crack, add tinting medium to a small batch of latex, and then use a sponge to lightly sponge on the tinted latex onto the puppet. What I usually do is I sponge on the tinted latex, then use a second foam sponge to go over the painted surface by dabbing it, thus absorbing excess latex, so you won't cover too much of the details on your puppet. You can work over your puppet this way by lightly drybrushing on several thin layers of color to achieve all sorts of effects. I start with a dark base color and then softly drybrush on lighter hues, thus revealing the highlights on the puppet in a very attractive way. Look up KZbin videos on drybrushing techniques for painting models and such. Over that, you can add details using acrylic colors. I prefer acrylic airbrush colors, which I sometimes apply with an ordinary brush.

@TheLoneAnimator4 жыл бұрын
I'm afraid I don't have a particular brand to recommend. Latex is pretty much the same all over the world but sold under dozens of brand names. Just look for mask-making latex, which is supposed to be thinner than mold-making latex. I have used both, and if the mold-making latex is thin enough you can use it for making puppet skins. What you want is the consistency of milk, not cream. Monster Makers has a latex which comes highly recommended for making masks, but I've found it a bit too leathery for the purpose of making puppet skins. I've found good latex at hobby shops and makeup suppliers.

I have a question about the head and torso sculpture creation, as I am attempting this process myself. How much of the back of the head and the neck should be sculpted? I've made a mold of a critter with a longer neck than the dagon fish monster here, and it's difficult to apply latex into the head due to the neck cavity of the mold being so small.
@TheLoneAnimator10 ай бұрын
If I'm sculpting something with its ears where a human has ears, I'd end the sculpture just behind the ears, and then draw a line down over the shoulders and the torso from that point on the head. When I have made puppets with longer necks, I've actually sculpted and cast the head separately, and built up the neck using bits of foam padding (sometimes very thin foam soaked in latex) and castings from skin texture molds.

@TheLoneAnimator Жыл бұрын
@@legolasstudios it sounds like that KZbinr got it right the second try around. What you have to do is line the insides of your plaster mold with latex first and let that dry. two layers sound just right. Then you can pour in the expanding foam, BUT you need an escape vent somewhere in your mold, so the excess expanding foam can squeeze out. this is because of two things: If the foam can't escape, it might expand to the point where it bursts and shatters your plaster mold. Also, if the foam is allowed to expand to the maximum, it'll become softer than if crammed full in a closed-off mold. It might be a good idea the try different amounts of the Polycraft before you mix it, then mix it and see how much it expands before trying it out in a plaster mold. Then you'll have a better idea about how much you'll need to mix to fill out your mold. If you decide to try this, get a strap to hold together the parts of the plaster mold (assuming you at least have two parts). If you don't, the expanding foam will press apart the mold parts very quickly, and your casting will be ruined.
