Cabbage mandrake / Col mandrágora

Cabbage mandrakes are a variety of mandrake .
Whenever unearthed, the root screams. The scream of a mature Cabbage mandrake when it is unearthed will kill any person who hears it, but a young Cabbage mandrake´s screams will usually only knock a person out for several hours.
A Cabbage mandrake scream is very similar to (if not the same as) a banshee's scream, which is also fatal.
It is recommended to wear earmuffs when you manipulate it to avoid knocking.
They are also poisono...us , so it is used by bad intentioned herbalists to make potions...

Las coles mandrágora son una variedad de mandrágora con características similares a ambas plantas.
Cuando se desentierra , la raíz grita. El grito de una col-mandrágora adulta matará a cualquier persona que lo escucha, pero el grito de una col-mandrágora joven por lo general sólo deja sin sentido durante varias horas.
El grito de una col-mandrágora es muy similar al de una banshee , que es también fatal.
Se recomienda usar protectores de oídos cuando se manipula para evitar sus efectos.
Además son también venenosas , por lo que se emplean en la elaboración de pociones por herbólogos con malas intenciones.

Prehistoric Cthulhu idol.

WIP for my probably new Cthulhu set. Some kind of prehistoric idol carved in stone. Still have to refine and texturize a bit , make molds and decide what paperprops to make and include...so it is still in progress.It is the first time I share something before it is released and finished.
It is of course based on Willendorf venus , one of my favourite prehistoric sculpts.

Dubious expedition show pieces


Last saturday  the Dubious expedition show at Leanna Lin´s wonderland gallery was opened. These are the pieces I did for the collective expo . Many other artists participate too with a wide variety of styles .

The plot for the show is more or less is as follows :
In 1876, led by Captain James Maury, the H.M.S Chimera set sail from the Port of London with a  charter to circumnavigate the globe for the purposes of collecting scientific and anthropological specimens for the collection of the British Empire.
Captain Maury was convinced of --nay, obsessed with--  the existence of the island kingdom of Jobogo: an archipelago in the Pacific that every other scientist, cartographer and naval officer of the time dismissed as mythical.  Maury claimed to have seen it at a distance in his early whaling days.
While other ships’ logs mention coming across the H.M.S Chimera during their own voyages, reporting the crew in good spirits and great health, the H.M.S Chimera disappears from records in 1877. In 1878, the ship and her crew are considered officially lost at sea.
In 1900, the H.M.S. Chimera returns home with a cargo hold full of dazzling and wonderful things, but only two crew members - the ship’s navigator, and the cook. Neither navigator nor cook were able to explain the contents of their cargo hold, or in fact - any aspect of their voyage at all. The ship’s cook was institutionalized shortly thereafter, and the navigator spoke of little else but the “glorious horrors” until he disappeared on a Scottish moor three months later.
The findings of the Chimera were quickly sequestered into the collection of the British Museum, and hidden away for over a century.
I used real vintage boxes for the dinosaur and fairy pieces , casted polyurethane resin for fossils and modern but aged bottles for the fetuses. Museum tags are as the ones used in the british museum as well as the red stamp that appears in the big labels for the boxes and fossils.

Fairy fossil





I´ve finally finished this piece. A fairy fossil.
It is a resin cast  of an original sculpt made by me. I am learning the basis of moldmaking and this is my second piece using molds. This one is a two piece mold...that means that every cast has front and back , making it more realistic (It is not flat in the back side )
After casting each piece in a precoloured resin mix , I paint each one with acrylic washes and other powder pigments. It is covered with a matte varnish coat to protect .
I continue with moldmaking and resin mix researching...it is a very interesting field to explore!
