Artist's Comments

" These are some close-up shots of an Iguana model I made in 1995 for an advertising campaign for a well known brand of cigarettes. The model was never used. I sculpted it in 10 days from plastiline. It was then moulded and cast in resin and painted with acrylic paints. Here is a full size picture" [link]

Wait... you mean this thing isn't real?!!! HOLY SHIT MAN!!! That's incredible. I totally thought you were screwing around and just posting pics of your pet or something! That's insane!

How'd you do all of those tiny scales without going nuts?

Mna, that's mad! 10 days?? You're really good at that, aren't you?

Absolutely fantastic attention to detail! all the little scales and wrinkles... wow.

Sire...thankyou! Coming from you that is a compliment INDEED! All the tiny scales were done by making up several tiny scale shaped tools and just slowly going along and pressing them in. YES...I did go nuts!! Agh! It was intense...I was working to a deadline and working silly hours.:faints::XD:

Well, I suppose I used to be. I haven't done that sort of work for a while. I did do some childrens' toys sculpts in the past few years but the detail and intensity weren't the same as this beastie!

Thanks very much! Well, spotted. The spines were made from lead pieces cut out and then hammered to give them that slight gnarled look and then inserted into the holes that I had sculpted into the body. They needed a bit of drilling here and there but it worked out ok. They are still going strong today, mostly because they are so bendy. If they had been in resin then they would definitely have been broken by now!:XD:

Thankyou, thankyou, thankyou! Details are a pain but they make all the difference.....worth spending a little bit of extra time over. =p
