here is my interpretation of a stephen gammell drawing from the scary stories to tell in the dark books. check my journal for more info.
he's about 5" tall and 10" long. made from super sculpey and painted with acrylics. here's some different angles of him [link] and a link to my journal [link] thanks for looking!!
This is amazing. I remember reading those books as a child, and this was one that always just "stuck out" to me. I love the detail you included - the straggly hair, the pores/sores. The color use is excellent, very vivid and, well, disgusting (in the best way possible)! For a minute I had to do a double take on the face, just because I didn't see the nose the first time around. But now that I've been able to really study it, it looks just like a "morbid" rat. Very impressive!!!
thanks for the great comment! it seems that this piece/illustration has not only haunted my childhood memories but many many others. it makes me very glad/proud that everyone has so many great things to say about it and that i can stir those memories of the books back. thanks again!
This amazing! The fact that you managed to get wire-like hair emerging from the sculpy really works well. Is it real hair, or very thin wire? (It just curls perfectly!)
