I made this Candle Mimic for Monster Bash 2021.

They are made out of wire, foil, polymer clay, wax and a wick.

I did learn through the process that if you melt the candle wax using another candle, the carbon gets caught in the wax giving it a messier look than if you were to melt the wax in a pot. So a heads up if anyone wants to use melted wax in a project.

This is so good, such a cool creature design and the texture the wax gave them looks so good. The tongue is so cool haha, they're so freaky in a fun way. Love that it's actually a candle, too, I'd love to try something like that myself Smile

oooh i love this!! like everyone else said, the freakiness works so well! the eyes and purpose tongue fitting perfectly. also love that the carbon got caught because it really makes it look like a dead candle that got possessed by a spirit and turned into a creature

What a cool sculpt! I love the inclusion of teeth, they really pull it from "cool candle friend" to "Oh God candle monster" imo!

I love some good toothy monsters, with visible gums, crooked and/or missing teeth.
