Petrogrd Posted March 22, 2012 Report Posted March 22, 2012 Hello folks. Well, I was talked into buying a scales of justice at the local hobby store, but I decided it needed a little work before it would fit my Dia de los Muertos theme. So naturally I started sawing it up. I'm sorry if the painting is a little sub-par, I'm still learning on that front. Inks are definitely a new territory. Anyhow, without further ado, here is my as-yet-unnamed minion: Here's a front view. I sawed off the original head above the jaw, and replaced it with a skull mask made from sanding down one from my bitz box. I used green stuff to copy Francisco Ortega's hat and used more green stuff to rework the original hair into the mask. I also replaced the nails through the man's arms with festive ropes, because nailing people to things is not my idea of a party. Here are few rear views of the various refreshments my minion brings to the party. One scale is full of traditional sugar skulls while the other holds up a bucket of nice, cold brew. Again these were constructed with green stuff and bitz. The bucket itself is actually wood, because it turned out to be a major pain in the neck trying to make one out of anything else The other former festival-goers ravenously contemplate the last of their remaining supplies. And, as always, my force as it stands. Which is getting harder and harder to photograph in one shot. Quote
SpiralngCadavr Posted March 22, 2012 Report Posted March 22, 2012 Those crazy masks work really well, and it's immediately clear what they are. Keep up the good work! Quote
Vinncent Posted March 22, 2012 Report Posted March 22, 2012 pretty good idea of using these masks. Quote
Requirement Posted March 23, 2012 Report Posted March 23, 2012 I love the idea of a Dia De Los Muertos themed crew. Unique. Quote
