• TIPS, TOOLS, TECHNIQUES:
This year my favorite tools have been the Dremel
and soldering irons for detailing foam! They
make foam projects much faster and more
versatile due to the endless types of textures they
can create. I’ve also been using a lot of garbage
bags and shrink wrap for creating wrinkles or
more organic detailing. Melting them with a heat
gun can create some cool effects!
Create your own characters. The Empress
Alien is my take on an older, more evolved version
of the Queen Xenomorph from Aliens (1986), the
movie that started this journey for me as a child.
