Firstly, with the 3d printed model, some smoothing needed to be done to get rid of some texture made through the 3d printing process.
Next was getting the mold done, this was made using reserve silicon pieces and rebound 25. It was made using the metal sheet technique for mold making. Along with hot glue and clay, a seal was made around the 3d model, and the silicon was poured in, after curing, it was split apart and tied together with rubber bike tire strips, to keep the mold integrity while also providing a way to separate the molds made within. I still have this and will continue to use it!
The two variations I made for class were these.
The one on the left was created with the onyx black mixed with brass powder, and a wood style texturing on epoxy clay to have a small coating of "wood" around the creature pretending to be a stump. I used plaster and a metal brush sculpting tool to create some "moss". I feel as though this one has a couple ways of being improved and I plan to eventually. Painted using acrylic paints.
The one on the right is a simple design created using the Onyx white and a little bit of SoStrong brown coated in plaster and painted with acrylic. I snipped small pieces of wire to make the black teeth within the lips. I needed to practice more with 3d painting and got a level of understanding within this project, but am still definitely working on it.
