Everyone seems to forget about the Creature when thinking of classic monsters. He was the one that creeped me out the most as a kid watching Creature Double Feature. As usual, great job.

Agreed. I think the issue is the Creature doesn't make as much sense outside of his setting. Dracula, the werewolf, even the Mummy can show up in different locations or cities. But if you met the Creature at a museum, you'd be confused.

I wrap my armatures before I start sculpting, but it's not because I don't want the armature to get dirty, it's because it makes demolding easier. Rather than having to break suction between the clay, the mold, and the armature on both sides of the mold, I only have to get the back half of the mold off, then dig through the clay and slice the wrapping (I use duct tape over my plastic wrap) to "deglove" the sculpture from the armature without having to fight the vacuum.

this makes a lot of sense, I just never liked sculpting over the plastic, but I totally get that point.....you could even inflate the bag to pop the mold....I might try that.

I love this. I have a Creepy Tiki bar (Hauntwaii) on my deck with a small pond next to it. I want to put a creature bust and hands coming up over the edge of the deck but couldn't find anything affordable. Now maybe I'll try to make my own!

It's actually awesome that you posted this. After your last Werewolf mask, I decided I was going to attempt making a head form, and trying my hand at sculpting a mask/bust using this method. I was going to attempt Swamp Thing because the design is less specific, and a little more forgiving if I l'm not completely accurate. The Creature isn't exactly the same thing, but it's not far off!! This is so great. I sincerely love your content.

I love making monsters!

He's BEAUTIFUL, Mr H! You've done honor to one of my all time favorite movie monsters; I've loved them for over 60 years. I've always found the Creature to be beautiful...as is the creature created for Guillermo Del Toro's marvelous "The Shape Of Water". I have the big book published by the Stan Winston shop about the history of their works, and there's a lot in it about their monster for "Pumpkinhead". Brilliant work, Mr H. I have an excellent mask of the Creature Of The Black Lagoon, and another of Jack Pierce's original Karloff Frankenstein monster in my studio, on stands. I think they're gorgeous...always have. To me, the old classics are beautiful, not horrifying. Wonderful stuff. You've made a truly great sculpture of beloved Creature here. Very well done! And you're one hell of a sculptor..a lot better than you think you are! All the best to you, sir. Thank you.

Awesome, Im glad this sparked some joy for you!

First off- I absolutely love the Creature! What a fantastic sculpt! Secondly, you may have tried this already, but I wanted a thinner strip from the foam earlier this week, so I took a cake decorating tip and hot glued it to the end of the straw (making sure not to cover the hole). Before I started, I thought it might shoot off of there like a rocket, but to my surprise, it held fast and gave me a much thinner bead to sculpt with. Just an idea you might want to play around with (if you haven't already)! Anyway, you never cease to amaze me- fantastic video!

I have been watching your videos for a few weeks now. I have never used spray foam as an art form, but I think I'm ready. It has all been in preparation for a Gilbert and Sullivan opera. I am performing, but I am also handling the sets. I have watched and watched, and now I hope I'm ready to try my first mushroom. I just wanted to thank you for sharing these techniques and giving us, as a fledgling opera company with almost no money, a way to create the extra to take our performance over the top!!! We are doing Iolanthe, which gives me the opportunity to create mushrooms, flowers.....a fairy forest! Thanks again.

no, the gills are inside and internal organ- they have a specific name I did not bother to recall until someone incorrectly corrected me. they are called operculum. the bony plates that protect and cover the gills. it just wasn't necessary to name them, till someone did it incorrectly I suppose.
