Teeth

Morgan W. Loebel brings us these well done human teeth made from polymer clay.  Translucent Sculpey can produce some amazingly realistic looking teeth.

  1. Those teeth look really very good, and it´s obvious why. It´s because Morgan actually looked how real teeth look like, and didn´t just make something what was meant to be teeth. For some reason a lot of people don´t really know how teeth really look, and it´s really not that easy to sculpt them. You have to have some knowledge about their morphology and the way in which teeth abrade. Some years ago I visited an art exhibition by Evan Penny. His hyperrealistical silicone sculptures or humans are really nearly as close to reality as possible, and there is a lot to learn from this models for prop-making. But the teeth of his models suck, they really do. Evan Penny must have spent a lot of time studying the surface of human skin or the pattern of body hair and colour schemes of eyes, but he missed to take a good look at teeth, what´s really sad. In some of his oversized sculptures the teeth are really pretty big, what makes mistakes much more obvious, at least if you are indeed familiar with teeth.
