Alien final form! So much work went into sculpting , molding, casting and fabricating all those flappy frillies and i am just thrilled! ( I dont want to take it off) i will have blank translucent kits for this sculpt up for preorder this Friday the 16th at 2pm PST. The shop listing will have tutorials and info once the preorder is live and more info will be posted this week. I also have sculpting progress on my patreon! You can see me as this character at @Neotropolis this spring! #missmonster #missmonstermel #alien #alienmask #mask #sepioid #prop #sculpture
Howdy, this is the barn owl that recently sent a request, wanted to say it was for a therian moodboard, I still really liked the moodboard but maybe if you could change the second plush (the jellycat one can stay it's really cute) and the mug
no problem! ^^
here you go, i hope this one suits you better!! enjoy and have a nice day :]
Burnt myself on the heat gun but I'd cleaned up my mask from @missmonstermel ! Im stuck on how I wanna paint it tho I have too many ideas dkdbndjsbsjjsjs
Hey! I hope you don't mind the message - I just wanted to say, your tags made me cry. I'm so happy that our makin silly lil creatures over here could mean something to you all these years later.
You absolutely can do what you want, and make a living at it, and more people need to hear that. Everyone in our lives told us we couldn't - we were just too stubborn to listen.
I sincerely thank you, I'm going to look at these tags anytime I feel discouraged, and I hope we can make you a monster one day. <3
OH MY GOODNESS!!!! I didn't see this originally and finally checked my inbox and saw this.
Now I'm feeling teary eyed ... I genuinely think it was artists like you both, Melissa Curphy (@missmonstermel), and Allison Theus (@crispyfishsticks) who showed me at a young age you CAN make awesome monsters and be wonderfully successful and HAPPY doing so.
I'm not joking at all when I say I found your DeviantArt over 10 years ago and it stuck with me ever since. I've kept up with Homemade Horrors since then on multiple platforms. It was always a dream of mine to have a custom monster made by you both, and now that I have an actual career position (transgender healthcare, which still doesn't feel real! That this is happening and it's Real!!) I may be able to afford that someday. ❤️
For reference this is the post and tags and if you like the looks of this gorgeous creature you should DEFINITELY give them a follow!!!!! Homemade Horrors are AMAZING and everything Worms and Bones make together is always so full of love and creativity.
Barn owl blank casts are back in the shop! This is a piece I sculpted in ancient times now available as a blank piece for you to finish. A perfect mask for beginners, it is uncomplicated and easy to trim, cut and finish! There is a tutorial for making the eyes and creating an elastic strap in the shop link in my profile ( tutorials category) and please use that same link to purchase! #missmonster #barnowlmask #owlmask #owl #maskmaker #prop
Who would you say are your biggest inspirations, artistically?
i'd say to begin with tim burton is up there. i grew up with a lot of stuff he made/worked on without even knowing it tbh lol
currently it's just a big mishmash of the many artists i follow online. i guess if i were to pick out a few uhh...
spoonfayse with his many odd characters/creatures/settings. very dreamlike images and comics. really like his MSpaint drawings since he has such a good feel for form and can simply accomplish it with solid blocks of color. people who can do that still blows my mind lol
missmonstermel makes really cool/fun monsters with amazing linework and detail, but she's the one who really got me into mask/costume making. i remember following along while she was making her werewolf costume and i used it as a tutorial for making my first mask!
Dendril's work also really got me with it's dreamlike, surreal quality. but now she's doing more cartoony monsters and they're always so lively and exaggerated with very good form and texture. a lot of her halloween themed art also feels really nostalgic :>
A few years ago I bought this mask as a blank unfinished cast from @missmonstermel . It's been awhile but I finally finished painting him! I'm really happy with how the colors turned out. (Those gradients - can you tell I used to make Homestuck horns?)
Saw some of @missmonstermel 's great work at the Final Fantasy XIV Fanfestival in Las Vegas last weekend! Cosplayers are Hellacasualcos and Frankandnats on Twitter!
