Theme Park Artwork/Community Crafting

I'm back with digital work this time, I really enjoyed the air 2.0 work, and so did others by the looks of it, so this time I thought of a poster for it. Tried to make it accurate to the original marketing promos as possible while still being a bit different. Enjoy!

If there's one thing I've learnt from this, is that Photoshop can be a nightmare to use 😂

Been a while since I've posted in here - haven't made anything recently, but I did just remember that during lockdown I made several pieces inspired by Altonville Mine Tours. Thought I'd show them off today...

"Beauty is only Skin Deep"

~1.7m tall piece made from an old curtain and various off-cuts, with 'skin' edging around the bloody letters.

"Traci"

Skin-snatcher face, using a basic cardboard mask as a template before being layered with clay, coloured to make various complexions, with extra veins and stitches to 'hold it together'.

"Shaft 79"

Wooden sign with hand-painted lettering; was smashed, chipped and burnt to age it, before extra dirt and weathering was applied.

You'll have to forgive a sneaky double post, but I recently rediscovered a piece depicting the...

Wicker Man Preshow

There was a spare wicker basket lying about the house so I transformed it to feature everyones favourite wooden guy.

Looked even better with some lights and fog...

And a cheeky look at the head, before and after painting. Because it's such a large piece I never really had anywhere to store it, so unfortunately the entire thing is a little damaged. The head itself currently missing, presumed broken.

Don't think I ever uploaded this, but I photoshopped Nemesis Reborn's queue entrance tower to fit more in with the original rustic ascetic. Also tweaked the logo with more colour added to it. The only regret I really have is not changing the logos colour back to red.

Splash Landings Fountain

When I was making Nemesis last winter, I was wondering what other bits of theming I could make into models - one of which being the large fountain that sits outside the entrance to Splash Landings. I thought it was about time I got round to it...

Keeping in spirit with the original aesthetic, it's mostly made from household items and random tat; the main barrel is a can, the supports are lolly sticks etc. The water is UV Resin, which I'm really glad with. Once again there's a lil making of video if anyone wanted to see the process.

Hopefully I'll find the time to do another one this year - eyeing up Pumpkin Patch and the Frogs...
 
An older one now (2018 shortly after it'd opened), I painted Wickerman in my imagining of the fire effects at night!

Got a few more park things in various states of completion, made the very bad decision of "do a drawing of every coaster I go on this year" which has gone as far as sketching out Taron a few months ago, alongside a general goal to do some original concept stuff!
That Wickerman piece sounds amazing 🔥 the night-time fire effects must’ve looked incredible in your painting! Love the idea of capturing coasters through art – it’s such a unique way of remembering your rides. A full set of coaster drawings from your trips would be such an awesome collection, and I’d be really curious to see your take on Taron too!
 
It's not the first time I've made something from my favourite scare attraction, and it won't be the last - anyway, this week I made the...

A surprisingly quick build, and the first one I've done in a while that isn't "360", but I'm really chuffed with it. Made using foam board, lolly sticks, pencils and a bit of aquarium gravel.

As always there's a sneaky making-of if anyone wanted to see the process.
 
Oh, very well made! I see a lot of skill there.
I'll bet you make epic Warhammer scenery. 🤩
 
Thanks man, glad you like it!

Funnily enough I've never actually touched Warhammer or anything like that - a lot of the joy for me is making things entirely from scratch.
 
A quick little play...

Made from an old Pepsi can, some pencils and a tiny bit of the usual lolly sticks, and a tad of teddy stuffing as the mist. The wiring fences were disgusting to do - surprised they're still stuck together...
