This semester, I wasn't exactly sure of what I wanted to make for my projects. I made a Cat during first critique with a demon mouth. But my Sculpture teacher gave me this awesome idea of instead of making it a demon mouth, saying it's a dinosaur mouth. I am a 3D major with a concentration in Ceramics (more sculptural aspect), and I've been recently making lots of sculptures of dinosaurs. So I thought that worked perfectly into what I love to make. I like the cat concept, and in critique one of my fellow students suggested to do more pets. So my projects are going to be this contemporary part with the pets combined with some old that comes from the dinosaur parts.
For the 2nd critique section, my other project will be a Hamster with Spinosaurus back and tail, or Spinomstersaurus.
I finished sculpting it, and now I need to make a mold for it. Another goal of my for this class is that I want to learn how to make molds and different ways of casting pieces. After, I'm done with school here, I was planning on going to Makeup School for special effects. A really important quality of special effects is mold making and casting prosthetics. So this way I can make projects for class but at the same time learn molding techniques for the future.
For this project, I wanted to try a rubber mold again. This time it is Oomoo, and not Rebound. In the next couple pictures you will see that it makes the negative mold in the end. But it requires walls around it.
Me and my professor helped me built the walls around my piece. Then I put clay on the inside for more cushions on the sides. After I mixed up the Oomoo, and poured it in.
After that, I made a mother mold for it. Just for more support and strength. This one turned out much better than the other one. But due to time, I just casted it in plaster. And surprisingly it turned out pretty good.
