Modeling Demons

For the envy and gluttony demons I first modelled them in plasticine around the armature then gave them multiple coatings in silicone which took over a day to dry for each coating. The Gluttony one took a week to dry as I hadn't mixed enough drying solution into the silicone. When doing other coats I added more drying solution to ensure it didn't happen again.

I then painted over the silicone using Citadel paints which stuck to the silicone better than other paints I tested but even that didn't stick to it properly and gave it a scaly effect which actually worked out better than I planned.

The Greed demon is made solely from plasticine which was then painted over with watercolour paints to add tone and shading. Because of the mixture of paint and plasticine this characters movements are very limited so I posed him in a sitting down position. The demons head, feet and the dangling leg were still moveable so he wasn't static.

To make the spots pop in this test animation I cut the spots over a couple of frames then used Play-Doh to show the pus expelling from the spots. I used Play-Doh rather than plasticine as it had a very different texture to the plasticine, it seemed more runny and realistic. I think doing this has worked very well and should hopefully have the same effect once he is in my film.
