Description
I did a model making and special effects course when I was at uni and made this little guy.Edit:
THIS IS NOT REAL. It is made by creating a chavant sculpt, moulding in fiberglass and casting in platinum silicone which you can buy from mouldlife [link] I would never cause harm or distress to an animal.

You actually made the octopus? That's so amazing. It looks very life-like. You must have spent a lot of time on it cuz look at those fine details!
I agree with the others here. This looks good on a desk. It's like that goldfish-in-a-bag soap thing.
Anyway...very good work

It's just amazing that you made it by hand. He'd make a nice aquarium deco too. Just sit there at the bottom of the tank looking mean and bad ass

I would love to do that! The only problem would be the cost to make them since the silicone is so expensive :s but I could make much smaller ones and then it wouldn't be so expensive xxx

Wow, at first I thought this might be a dead one, some of taxidermy. But wow, you made it!? That's awesome! It looks very very life like. I just wish you would have shook the bottle a bit to get out some of the bubbles that have settled on it. Looks great, very life, er, one alive like!

funny you should say that! I had work experience with a taxidermist and the idea of the project was to make a model that looked so hyper realistic it could pass for taxidermy of a speciemen in a jar. I know! The bubbles are so annoying I shook the jar but it made it worse and i tried brushing them off with a finger but there were so many of them! thanks for the comment xxx

Looks fantastic and so real; silicone is such cool stuff! I'd love to learn to work with it too, sometime. Did you sculpt it in clay or something then mold the silicone with the sculpt?
