Introduction: Demogorgon - Clay Sculpture
I figured this time around I would go with one of my favorite shows and make the demogorgon from stranger things.
Supplies
Clay( I used air dry, but it's really up to preference)
multiple thicknesses of wire
wire cutters
sculpting tools
acrylic paints
primer
a hot glue gun
Step 1: Wiring
for the first step, I printed out a picture of the demogorgon and cut some thicker wire to size and shaped it before wrapping it in aluminum foil and thinner wire.
Step 2: Base Bulk
In this step I did some basic bulking, just slopping some chunks of clay on till I couldn't see any more foil or wire. After this step feel free to try to better refine the shape of the body.
Step 3: "Petals" of the Face
For this step I made wire structures to wrap some thinner pieces of clay around before using some water to carefully smooth them.
Step 4: Feet
For the feet, I put some basic chunks down before splitting them in three and smoothing them to create toes and pressing them for the later claw additions.
Step 5: Hands
For this step, much like the feet, I took some clay blobs and split them before refining them and pressing the ends in once again for the soon to come claws before sticking them to the body.
Step 6: Claws and Teeth
For this step, all I did was make a bunch of tiny clay cones before leaving them out to dry.
Step 7: Base
To make the base, I crumpled up some foil before putting a layer of clay over the top and making a bunch of "wormy-dealies" and twirling them across the base
Step 8: Priming, Painting, and Finishing Touches
For the final step, I started by priming before laying down basecoats of red and gray. after the coats had dried, I proceeded to make washes with my acrylics and water and lather the sculpture in them. After everything dried, I hot glued the claws/teeth on and used some more hot glue to create saliva. After that you'll find yourself with one outstanding demogorgon sculpture
