SW 101: Writers Block

Hello there everyone! I see you have called in an emergency. What's that? You have *gasps* writers block? Well have no fear! You've come to the right place! The Writerbusters will help you in no time!

The Opening Sequence
Alright, so you have a story going with characters and a good idea on where you want to go, you just don't know how to start it. That's perfectly fine. Take the time to look over different movies and how they begin. Notice how in Legally Blonde it's a continuing shot of the sorority the main character Elle along with the other girls live in. This kind of intro helps the audience get a good feel for who the character is and

FAQsHey did you know it's really rude to go up to someone and say
"Hey I love what you're doing! I don't want to pay for it though. Tell me how to do it so I can try myself."
If I had a shop you wouldn't come into it and ask for all my secrets, would you? The same applies here. Don't get butthurt when I give you a grumpy rebuke - this is my living!

1. How do you attach the fimo to the fur?
I glue it on with hot glue or bostik multi-purpose. Some artists like to make holes in the sculpt and sew it on.
2. How do you dye fake fur?
You CAN'T! It's impoooosiblleeeee. I tried masses of "confirmed" techniques, involving messy and sometimes stinky dyes, and none of them really worked. The best way I have found is to use dylon fabric paints and just brush them with a nail brush. Here's a video tutorial that is along the same lines, although I wouldn't use acrylic paint personally: http://youtu.be/RPA8Y6GcD6E My favourite method is to buy fabric in the right colour

I may start toing latex prosthetics soon.
Is it necessary to cook the clay before you cast it?
And what kind of paint can I use on them?

~melesmeles-faber Feb 14, 2013 Hobbyist Artisan Crafter

It is reusable modelling clay, one should not cook it !!!!!

Here is how I did the paint! [link]

very nice

difficult!

I know how hard it is. XD I'm actually thinking to do my own pieces with a stronger mother-mold personally as I hate to scratch the plaster with my tools so I'm adding plaster-wrap layers for reinforcement. I'm excited to cast out a new-face soon too! I would have thought you would do a two-part mother-mold... would have made cleaning the negative easier. XD

I love the new snout Badger Man! It's so great to see how the design has evolved into an incredible and more stream-lined casting process.

~melesmeles-faber Jan 31, 2012 Hobbyist Artisan Crafter

Thank you

I think plaster is pretty old fashioned stuff to be using maybe.....but it is cheap! A 2 part mould? Still got to workout how to do it..... But the plasticine has proved itself extremely sticky and unremovable.... Maybe just standard clay would be better. Then the problems of the latex shrinking afterwards have to be seen to be believed.......

I'm going to try a 3rd snout and jaw. The shape of the one here is not right.......

~bethyeehah Nov 11, 2011 Artist

insane how you blend it all in... clever infact

you tutorial sheet things are great - so clear. looks like your making it on a bloody surgeons table or something though!? are you?

~melesmeles-faber Nov 11, 2011 Hobbyist Artisan Crafter

Thank you!

Surgeons table? My girlfriend is a vet!

~bethyeehah Nov 11, 2011 Artist

that would explain your workspace! nice one. the story makes sense "

~melesmeles-faber Nov 12, 2011 Hobbyist Artisan Crafter

Not all my workspace is there.... Sadly no room for a permanent forge, I have to move stuff out each time I use it......Luckily the portable forge came with little wheels on it!
