The Mystic (The Dark Crystal)

Materials: Super Sculpty, wire, wood, acrylic paint

One of my favorite movies growing up was the 'Dark Crystal.' As I got older I learned to appreciate Brian Frouds’ art and own a few books with his artwork. So going through “The Art of the Dark Crystal,” there is an entire section of the Mystics and I just had fun with it and mixed a couple of different outfits, armor, and staff.

According to the book, the wrinkles on a Mystic’s face shows how wise he is. So I had to make sure to get them right. Also, the circles on the armor and the staff depict experiences. So to me it was a challenge and I always enjoy a good challenge when it comes to art so I went for it. I would work on it when I got home from work while watching movies and it took me about 2½ weeks all together (including baking it and painting it).
