Although Cthulhu may not be real, the bones used in this sculpture are real animal bones. We’ve seen an amazing alien facehugger from Forgotten Boneyard but I think this combination of mink, raccoon and beaver bones may be even scarier.

Some sculptors are exceedingly talented at creating busts that capture the likeness of the subject. Steve Scotts did it with a freakishly real Ellen Ripley sculpt, and Jordu Schell has done it with this Spock sculpture. It was made with silicone, hair, fabric, and carefully applied paint. He looks like he could start talking about logical things at any minute.

I really think all you need to read are the words “giant steampunk dragon” to know this is something you’re going to want, but my editor insists I write up a description anyway. This made-to-order sculpture by Kreatworks measures an astounding 10.8′ tall by 9′ long by 10′ wide and is constructed out of recycled metal and auto parts. This monster weighs in at over 880 pounds! The one in the pictures was sold, but he will custom make one just for you at the monster price of $11,500.

Of all the creatures in Final Fantasy, Chocobos are the most adorable. I adore the little fluffy companions and that they are a constant in the game. A Chocobo fan commissioned artist Jenna Antonelli to sculpt one of the feathered animals, and the end result is extremely huggable (well, it would be if it wasn’t made from clay).
Look at more of Chocobo after the break.
These beautiful paper sculptures are the work of Jodi Harvey-Brown who uses the actual pages from books to form characters and even entire scenes from the stories on those pages. There are characters like Harry Potter, Hermione and Ron jumping out to cast spells, Alice with the Cheshire Cat and even the Millenium Falcon. She also has beautiful paper sculture wreaths, trees and ornaments and is open to taking custom orders.

There’s no doubt that Peter Jackson films have been great for New Zealand tourism. Hobbiton is a major attraction, they’ve been referring to themselves as “the real Middle Earth” in their advertising, and now the prop makers at Weta Workshop have installed a giant fishing Gollum in Wellington Airport. So keep an eye on your rings and breakfast pastries when eating at the food court.

This sculpture of Sigourney Weaver as Ellen Ripley from Aliens is amazingly lifelike. Sculptor Steve Scotts spent hours re-creating the action hero from silicone. Besides capturing the likeness to a perfect degree, the depth of the surface painting boggles by mind and kind of freaks me out. Wow.

Italian artist and sculptor Andrea Eusebi really outdid himself when he created this ultra-realistic and extremely detailed head sculpture of everyone’s favorite Jedi Master using plastiline modeling clay.
Hit the break for process photos and more shots of the Yoda sculpture.
This collection of handmade mini Pokémon by ninjazzy would be amazing just for the time required to create all these detailed clay models. It’s outright unbelievable when you realize they’re apprpriately called Pénnymon because they’re each standing on a penny for a base!
