Sculpting a Comic Character to Cast a Candle

Sculpting a Comic Character to Cast a Candle - Groo The Wanderer

To sculpt a birthday cake topper in clay, in the form of the Groo the Wanderer Head candle from Marvel Epic issue #50, I sculpt a Groo Head out of clay, then attempt to make a mould of it and create a candle. Not all goes according to plan, but in the end, I have a GREAT Groo candle, just like Sergio Aragonés drew for his 50th anniversary corner box. Use this as a clay sculpting tutorial at your own peril.

A heroic attempt... and with a face cameo in the end!

Thanks! I’m sure this won’t be my last sculpt. 😀

Awe, I was hoping it would have worked! Good try though, and I really like what you've ended up with. Great sculpt, and great looking cake! Happy Birthday!

Thanks. Yeah, success with the wax candle would have been fantastic, but… I had a Groo-head on my birthday cake, so… 😆

I applaud your attempt and courage to work with Groo on anything.... and I'm impressed you are still intact from the experience. 😃 sorry that it didn't work out (much like in the comics when anyone tries to work with that barbarian).

Ha! Yes, I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised that the mould making was a failure, but it was a really fun project to work on! Thanks for your kind words, as always! 😉

😄Nice learning curve. The head looks neat. It will be exciting to know the continuation of this project.

Thanks Ares! The cake topper Groo is no “Cheese Dip?” statue, but it’s a lot better than that Clown I sculpted earlier. 😀 I’ve sculpted Aardman style rabbits and snails from the Turbo movie in the past and have been pleased with those results. Maybe a dull body Groo sculpt someday? 😀

Exciting day! I imagine my LCBS will email me at the end of the day and I’ll have to wait until tomorrow to celebrate though. I do have a video planned though. 😀

I almost got physically ill remembering all the times I've had to work with caulking and realizing what you were going to have to go through to get that caulking off. 🤢

So if I were to tell you I want to try again with a tube of silicone… would you think that’s a good idea or a bad idea? 😉
