Little Shop of Horrors - Audrey II Sculpture

So recently I got a little obsessed with the movie The Little Shop of Horrors. Mainly for the puppetry of the giant Audrey II plant! I love that man eating plant so for fun decided to make my own!

I started off by building a wire frame based on the profiles on the plant head, stuffing and wrapping it in tin foil, and then covering it in Super Sculpey.

 After I had the basic shape I needed, I realized I was silly enough to forget to attach the neck! Not too much of a worry, easy fix to attach a piece of PVC  pipe to the existing frame work. Then I started adding on the big lips and ridges and veins in the head.

Once I had all the veins, I used lighter fluid to smooth out the surface. Then I used a sculpting tool to make little pits on the head that would mimic the miniscule veins when painted. Once I was happy with the sculpt I used a heat gun to harden it.

 

 So far, so good! Still a work in progress and I will up date as the work continues! In the mean time, share your comments, I love some criticism!
