Hey guys! Thanks so much for the comments and suggestions! I'm looking forward to getting back to figure sculpting soon but forgive me - been bitten by the diorama bug and need to get it out of my system LOL!

Say what you want about the movie Prometheus, you MUST agree that the art design for the film was TOP NOTCH! That alone inspired me to work on several Prometheus themed diorama work. The first sculptural piece I am currently working on is a 1:18 scaled Hypersleep Chamber used by the Engineers in the Orrery room. I am using Monster Clay as my sculpting material.

The piece will work hand in hand with the 1:18 scaled Engineers I am currently sculpting as well. My plans for the Hypersleep chamber at this point is to consist of four parts: The Hypersleep Chamber itself, a removable translucent canopy, a portion of the Orrery floor and finally a sculpt of a sleeping Engineer (static pose, non-articulated).

Check out my progress in the images below. The first image was to mainly capture the shape. Moving forward I have been adding detail and making adjustments where needed. Currently working on the rear of the chamber which I feel is the most complex (you'd think). Close to completing one side - working on the opposite side tonight. After that I will move up the sides to the front of the chamber. 











Like the Nostromo, I am also working on doors and corridors of the Prometheus ship itself....and similar to the Nostromo, I plan on building a 1:18 scaled diorama of the bridge. Below are some images of what I have already completed - a mix of vector/laser work and scratch building from sheet styrene and sculptural elements.















So as you can see, the art of Prometheus has inspired me greatly (duh!) LOL! I have many more plans on the horizon...including the modern take on a personal favorite :)

Just unbelievable work, Dayton! That sleep chamber is amazing to behold as are the crew chair and ship doors.
With work like this you should just let that diorama bug keep biting.

Flawless execution on all levels! Your Alien and Promethius work is ground breaking and beautiful to behold. As Remco said your skill set is now enormous and it is very inspiring to see you working with so many mediums. You push your artistry to new levels with each project and it is a real pleasure to watch it all come together.

Just amazing stuff. Any chance for a time lapse video for making a head? I'm looking into sculpting but want an idea of how much work it really is. Or at least a tutorial on like sculpting detail on a blank arm? I know it would take up a lot of your time but it would be a great resource for us looking into sculpting.

Did anyone read Dayton's latest Facebook Post? Evidently some tools on there are actually accosting him because he doesn't sell any of his work or is willing to make what they want. And are sending him hateful stuff.

I just have to shake my head about the human race sometimes. Can't we sometimes just step back and admire the work and the art?

Indeed.  Sometimes one's artwork is simply their own, and that should be respected.
