now that the show is airing i can finally post some of the stuff i worked on! joy! ok, so when i first got to shadow machine i was asked to modify some pre-existing resin casts that would become props for the show. i accomplished that by using a bit of magi-sculpt (a two part sculpting apoxy) and forming it over the pre-existing casts. when the magi-sculpt hardened i went over each piece with some primer and painted them up. so here are a few pictures of that.
the magi-sculpt dries grey so you can tell what parts i sculpted over.
a lot of my time was spent applying this mossy sludge to different forms to be floor covering for swampy sets. we literally went through gallons and gallons of this stuff. i like work where i can get my hands dirty so i had a lot of fun slopping that sludge around. unfortunately i didn't take very many pictures but you see it in just about every outdoor shot in the show.
i also spent a lot of time filling tiny glass jars with colored water...
...painting (SO MANY!) resin cast book spines and little creatures (already sculpted before i got there)...
...that were placed into even more tiny glass jars...
...and then placed on a set. this final picture is kinda crappy but looks kinda cool i think, but it shows a few of those props getting set up. (not my set by the way). there were a lot more props and elements i worked on that i unfortunately didn't manage to take pictures of so this is pretty much all i have for the moment. there were some cool skulls i modified and various other spooky things that went on the walls and shelves (why didn't i take pictures!). but i do have some good pictures of a few sets i made so i'll be posting those soon.
