Tried my hand at an "Art the clown" from Terrifier
I decided to take on the sculpting challenge of creating Art the Clown from the movie Terrifier. This character is known for his creepy, mime-like look. You might think of a simple design, and for the bust, it mostly is. But one of the biggest challenges was making his hat. Art’s signature cap is not just any clown hat, and trying to attach it to a mug was a real pain, and for the "uglyMug" version a complete nightmare. For now I'm just making the wallhanging bust of Art.
I ended up using a combination of cardboard and polymer clay for the hat, and it worked out surprisingly well. The cardboard gave it the structure I needed, while the clay brought it to life with all the little details. so making the hat and fitting it to a mug that's still a puzzle. Sculpting hats onto mugs can be tricky in general, but Art’s special top hat-ish hat will make it even more challenging, Sculpting hats onto mugs can be tricky in general, but Art’s special top hat-like hat will make it even more challenging. Luckily, for me, he wears a Santa hat in Terrifier 3, and I might just have to rely on that to get past the " no way a top hat will fit on a mug" situation.
This piece stands out with its mix of eerie charm and intricate details. If you’re into the Terrifier movies or just appreciate something with a little edge, pun intended, this wall sculpture is perfect for you.
Update: I’m still working on Art as a mug. Fortunately, Terrifier 3 is a Christmas movie, so the late update should be okay. (I missed the Halloween deadline.)
