The Night King

Sculpted by NICHOLAS J. BROWN
Sculpting The Night King - Timelapse Sculpt and Airbrush- GoT
Play Video

My second "serious" sculpt, just before I got into making "Pennywise". This was a serious challenge, but one that stretched my limits beyond what I thought I was capable.  There was a "magic hour" from when I thought he looked "good" to where he transformed into a character that looked more real and satisfying than anything I had ever made before.  This is the character that convinced me I could and should keep doing this. The video drags on a while, as I was so obsessed with getting it just right that there's a few minutes of the timelapse where there doesn't appear to be much happening.  It was just me being methodical and meticulous, double checking everything.

​

The paintjob was the most difficult of them all up to that point - primarily because of the colour issues and getting the shading just right.  There are a multitude of photos of this character, with different actors, and different degrees of CGI augmentation that made it difficult to capture his likeness. However, I am extremely satisfied with the final outcome. The armour I also made myself, out of thick gauge aluminium and leather.  His medallion is a polymer clay, painted with various coats of crackled black, gold, grey, and white.
