It’s Halloween, a night for frights and fun! And what better way to spend the macabre evening than revisiting classic horror movies and the monsters that inspire childhood nightmares.
Artist Stu Sutcliffe captures a kind of magic that made these characters special, adding a healthy dose of childhood imagination that somehow transforming actors covered in makeup and foam, exaggerating them into the larger-than-life creatures we remember.
These amazing characters were sculpted in 3DCoat. Final textures and hair created and rendered in Carrara. Any “painterly” backgrounds used ArtRage.
So grab the popcorn and turn down the lights! This monster marathon is just getting started…

Carrara Artist
I cant even remember using Carrara 5 for the first time.But I guess its been about 4 or 5 years now.I really love its simplicity. And all the new additions since then are making it even better.

Hello,
My name is Stu Sutcliffe.Im older than I care to mention.
Here is a brief synopsis of my ” artistic life” so far.
Where to begin….Saw Star Wars in 1976…..then went back 6 more times! People do this for a living? WOW.
Roll on a year or two,I bought my first Super 8 camera,a really nice 2nd hand Eumig Mini 5.
I managed to make a couple of stop motion puppet films,which won a couple of “well done” certificates.This inspired me to apply to “Cosgrove Hall Productions” ( makers of Danger Mouse and Wind in the Willows amongst numerous other shows.)
I was lucky enough to land a job ( after about 2 years asking.) and spent many years doing stop motion animation and puppet making .People do this for a living? WOW.
I eventually went to work for a company that was sort of an offshoot from Cosgrove Hall.
I still work in the animation industry,mainly sculpting characters for films and tv.
My computer life began really with Lightwave.I did bits and pieces with that.
Then we got Maya at work, but I only really animated using that.The other workings of Maya are really confusing to me.
I cant even remember using Carrara 5 for the first time.But I guess its been about 4 or 5 years now.I really love its simplicity. And all the new additions since then are making it even better.
I guess its my main hobby,I dont really want to do it for a living. ” I dont want to ruin another hobby ” One word stops me…” Client”
One day I would like to complete a whole film using Carrara,I think I have a couple of films in me somewhere! But for now I am quite happy “noodling” ( is that a word?)
and doing still images…just need to do a bit more work on the backgrounds!
Regards and keep on Carrara-ing folks!
Stu
