Stiltbeast Studios walks through the sculpting process for a set of voodoo and witch charm pieces intended for use in a silicone plate mold.

The finished piece appears intended as a wearable mask or display prop for haunted attraction use.
Allen Hopps of Stiltbeast Studios demonstrates how he uses a specialized sculpting tool called an isolation plank to block out and define major forms in a sculpt before moving into fine detail work. The isolation plank is a type of forming plank that the creator developed and has been using personally for years before making them available for sale. This short demo gives viewers a clear look at how the tool integrates into an early-stage sculpting workflow. It is particularly useful for haunt prop and mask makers looking to speed up and refine their sculpting process.
