Description
I already posted a couple of pictures of my 1:8 Werewolf statue here. But - some days ago I finally finished mould-making and got my first test casting. So, here it is, first resin copy of my Werewolf!I used small black stones in base as a filler - base is 425 grams, 300 grams of it are stones. That's why the base looks like it looks.
I'll try to paint it as soon as I find time, so it's probably not the last image of this sculpt here...
Thanks for looking!

Thanks!
I must say I don't care much for most of the Werewolf statues I've seen so far. Usually they are somehow too thin, not too much like a wolf. And they are always screaming.
I was trying to make a statue of the Werewolf who's done something, who's tired and panting, like something horrifying happened some minutes ago. Now he's sitting there, bloody and he doesn't really remember, what exactly...

I love it. Do you show your work at Wonderfest? If you sell these somewhere let me know.

Well, thank you for responding. Your work is amazing.

The only complaint I have about this sculpture is the placement of the tail. It seems almost like it was tacked on as an afterthought, instead of flowing smoothly as an extension of the spine.
Although it may only be the angles that the model is shown from, too. To give a proper critique about the tail, I'd have to see a copy in person.
Aside from that, I think it looks fantastic! The detail work must have taken painstaking hours to do. I'm jealous of your patience.

A great sculture with detail given to the entire creature and great use of the medium. The posture and expression are unusually benign for such a subject and thus give it a novelty of beign more wolf than human, more innocent than malicious.

I wouldn't mind having this in my room. It's a nice sculpture.

i am tempted to ask you to leave the base unpainted.

Original idea was to have some snow and blood on the base. But then I didn't want to cover and destroy stone textures I made...

Wow....that's like, really good. I love it! Very well done ^^=

Stunning! This should totally go on a cathedral. Or in a graveyard. Or somewhere cool like that. ^^

I'd crap myself if he was in front of me. xD

I love the angle on the far left. Very nice.

I very much look forward to seeing the finished painted piece, but in the meanwhile the composition & design of this werewolf is just wonderful. The long slim limbs are different from many others interpretation of lycanthropes & the almalgamation of human/creature musculature is very logical & makes it all the more believable.
Congratulations on the DD - well deserved!

They look awesome. I'd love to have an 8ft matching pair for my driveway/doorway someday.

That is incredible. Any detail that you could add at that scale, is there. Anything more, like fleas or ticks would more seem like blemishes. Yeah, I think that a longer tail would have been my first guess, but I've never seen one, and it is a compromise between the two forms.. I keep looking for anything that you could have done... The ears are a bit thick...I'm sure there are limitations in the material. And it seems you've purposely photographed the piece to not show the genitals. A wolfish (sheathed) penis shouldn't offend anyone, assuming it's a male. Is it? What about nipples? Both males and females have them, granted they're not larger than ticks, your audience is eventually going to look for them. No need for womanish type breasts unless she's got pups.

There are nipples (ca 3 millimeters) and other details...
Ok, I'll try to post some new images. Maybe should take some new pix of original with my new camera...
Ears - yes, they couldn't be too thin, but they are hairy, so it's ok, I think. They don't look thick when painted, at least I hope so. Tail - it may be small, but I don't want my Werewolf to look too much like a fox.

OH, absolutely, the ears, the tail, they are real good. The ears could be too think, and brittle--that wouldn't be good.

interesting, really like the way you've showed all his wolf-like majesty/humbleness
๐: 0 โฉ: 0
Extremley impressive! I love his stance: it's sort of relaxed yet still alert. And the tounge slightly hanging out makes me smile.

hey dude awesome work!
id iยดm allowed iยดll have a few questions:
Say which material do you use?
how long does it take to finish one statue for you.
is the drying of the material a problem and how does it affect the work progress?
iยดve never tried on myself but thats one of my next projects to give it a try. to sculp my own statues.
and so... i need information

Hi!
My main material is Cernit, a polymer clay made in Germany. I'd recommend "opaque white" mixed with a little black, I'm using this mix for another Hellboy character (Ilsa) statue at the moment. Super Sculpey is probably the most common polymer clay, but when I finally got it (they don't sell it in my country), I discovered that it's too soft for me and just drives me crazy.
I can say that I can't do this kind of details from Sculpey.
How long - TOO long. But as I made it for myself, the only concern is that I should like (and not hate) the finished thing. So I modify and modify and modify...
Drying -
the statue I started working again some weeks ago was standing with some not-baked details maybe for a year. So, when I finally baked it to start working on it again (and just to carve out areas what I don't like), it got several cracks. But basically, drying is not a big problem. I bake my statues many times, so when the overall form is there, I only have the part I'm working on (boot, hand, face) unbaked.

Thank you very much. i think that was a lot of usefull information.

wow the texture, the fury, the body the complexity of the anatomy and the most importat: head and body looks one like they are one, other werewolfs I have seen so far look like the head and the body are from different persons, well done!

Thanks!
This statue was a great learning process for me. I probably should make a poker face now and pretend that I knew from the start how it will look when ready. But...

I really really really love drawing and looking at other peoples interpritations of werewolves. This is amazing o.o I read up there in the previous comments, you may one day be selling copies of the castings 
๐: 0 โฉ: 0
Wow. With a little painting, this will be awesome! I mean, even more awesome than it is now!

Such precision! Lucky you ^^
Waiting for your next sculptures ;]

TOTALLY RADICAL MAN ! AmAzInG...
