If you hate your siblings and want to scare them on their next birthday party, how about getting them a model by Damien Canderle? These ultra-freaky models will surely make your sibling cry their little pants off--it sure made me cry my little pants off.
Damien Canderle uses Zbrush 3 for most of his models, but I can't get over the fact that they look so real! He really likes to make scary-looking sculptures, but I can't get over their intricate artistry.
