I hear it can take a long time to dry and sometimes stays tacky.<br /><br />This tentacle looks great, I would never guess it was made of plastic wrap and stuffing on the inside. I'm assuming from the materials used that it's flexible? Creepy. Looking forward to seeing some finished versions.SavageGoldfishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16085619527731083973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-423050459919800481.post-36531376289139335032011-05-20T16:14:21.220-07:002011-05-20T16:14:21.220-07:00@ Jason McKittrick
Thanks. Now that I'm fina...@ Jason McKittrick<br /><br />Thanks. Now that I'm finally getting a little more free time I should be able to post more stuff like this.<br /><br />@ Phil<br /><br />The textures that latex produces all on it's own are really quite amazing. Using different sponges, and even just a wad of plastic wrap, produces some wonderful effects. If you wait for the surface to dry you can go back with a pin or toothpick before the underlayer solidifies and add very realistic pores, while a stiff brush can produce everything from fine pores to blister-like bubbles.<br /><br />It's really an amazing material.Propnomiconhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02073463298965255652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-423050459919800481.post-7110218363424304852011-05-20T15:40:18.247-07:002011-05-20T15:40:18.247-07:00thanks for another great DIY project Proppy! I'...thanks for another great DIY project Proppy! I'm definately gonna try your spine technique.<br /><br /> and I can attest to the 'skin texture with a sponge' trick. I use those cheap disposible sponge brushes to coat my creatures. Just apply it with a patting motion all over and as it partially dries, it leaves behind an almost orange peel like texture that looks very flesh like after it dries.<br /><br />I hope you'll post a follow up pic after you've painted and shaded it.Philhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18286585667808822050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-423050459919800481.post-92021304029790442872011-05-20T12:05:42.532-07:002011-05-20T12:05:42.532-07:00Great technique.
