Hi all,

First time poster, long time Exorcist fan here.

I paint model kits as a hobby and the Exorcist is one subject matter that’s
near and dear to me.

Here are a few shots of 2 recent kits I painted, which are lifesize scale…Hope
you enjoy them!

3Demonic,

I love this work!

Being inquisitive, are you and Pete Murphy the same person?

An original mention of Pete’s work came from this posting about the Captain Howdy/Pazuzu wall plaque. This was on sale on eBay a few weeks ago, and I actually wrote to the artist; unfortunately I never heard back:

On eBay, crazyclayer6o8u, from Raleigh, North Carolina, USA had this on sale:

The Pazuzu piece says it’s copyrighted © 2009 Peter Gabriel Murphy @ http://www.petemurph.com/

When I click on 3Demonic, the Linda Blair bust indicates it’s copyrighted © 2010 Killer Kits (Copyright © 2000/2005 3Demonic).

The talent is amazing, so I am making an assumption that Pete’s work and Killer Kits and 3Demonic are all the same, correct?

Hi and thanks for the feedback!

No, I’m not Peter Murphy. Peter sculpted and produces the Pazuzu kit and Killer Kits (UK) produced the Linda Blair kitm both of which came as blank resin copies…I painted both of them.

Nothing short of amazing!!! I would definitely like to own one if I wasn’t sure that I’d pee myself every time I enter a room with one of those busts looking at me with those lifelike grimacing faces.

3Demonic,

Emphasizing Ghetto’s comment … you rock as an artist. Are those glass eyes? Fill us in on how you acheive these great works of art … I think you’ll find the fans on here are quite dedicated to the behind-the-scenes approaches.

Thanks for sharing these!

Thanks Ghetto & Father Bowdern (cool nick BTW)…

The eyes are not glass…I prefer to paint all my eyes. I use an airbrush fr painting kits, each subject matter requires a different technique but one thing I always aim for is realism.

Duplicating skin, even possessed ones, is always a challenge and requires painting several thin/translucent layers to build depth and replicate how skin reflects light and behaves over veins and muscle tissue.

As far as our Linda is concerned, trying to replicate Dick Smith’s wizardry was not easy! Dick Smith and Rick Baker are the true masters of modern horror FX.

That Regan bust is just fantastic. Is that this kit with some alterations?

If so your skills are pretty remarkable and I’m going to have to grab myself one and remodel it in a similar vein.

[3Demonic]

Thanks Jagged…Yep, that’s the one!

[fatherbowdern]

3Demonic,

Did you also paint the other masks on 3Demonic.com?

My god man. Those are both incredible. The eyes are awesome. I thought you used glass eyes also.

I’ve been painting figure model kits for 20 years + and those are seriously some of the nicest paint ups I’ve ever seen.

How did you do the hair? Is it punched or a wig? That can’t be the hair that came with the kit!

Yes, that’s right.

Etrigan, thanks very much…great to see a fellow painter here 🙂

The hair is a wig, which I sourced specifically for the kit. I trimmed and styled until I got the right look. The bust came with a wig, but it was useless.

[fatherbowdern]

3Demonic … I think you have great abilities! I hope you are applying them in a field of work that is both creative and exciting. 🙂

Wow – those are incredible! You’re beyond talented!

I’d love to have one of those, but it would scare the crap outta me….seriously.

Well done!

Linda Blair’s portrayal of a possessed girl in “The Exorcist” remains iconic, as does the horrifying visage of Pazuzu, the demon tormenting her. Model kits capturing these chilling characters offer fans a tangible connection to the classic horror film’s enduring legacy. painting services dubai
