new corpse

well finally got another corpse done for the cemetery. will be hanging on a wooded pole.
his frame is pvc. with clear tubing for the ribs. probley spent to much time on the detail but the outer skin turned out way better than i thought
used paper mache to cover the frame and ribs.
then i used white garbage bags for the skin, used a heat gun to melt and shrink the skin.
used a coat of latex on the bags so i would have a good base to use the stain.
golden pecan for the mache and dark walnut for the skin.
need to get the eyes painted and sealed with clear epoxy
just need to seal it up and thinking of adding hair let me know what yall think

Wow, I really like this one.... it has such a simplistic look to his face, yet it's very expressive at the same time, and shows a lot of character. Great work!

Really great texture. Thanks for listing what you used.

Great look, I made a rotten corpse last year. I used pantyhose for the skin, then applied carpet adhesive over it, then mahogany stain over the carpet adhesive . Turned out nice.
