Thread: my gravedigger

Tweet

almost have my gravedigger finished. I feel like something is missing. What do y'all think? Thanx, in advance, for your ideas!!

I think you did a great job on him, I think if he was a lil more dirty it would help, but good work so far.

I love it Cathy. But I think he would actually look more creepy without the hat. Just my opinion, but the hat looks a little too citified. I also think he needs to be a little dirty. Will he be holding the shovel at all? He looks really well proportioned. You did a great job building him. I am impressed.

Awesome job! I like the face, especially, and the tie is perfect.

I think even dirtying up the hat a bit would do the trick-- pop the seam in a couple of places, get it a little out of shape.

I agree with what the others said. He looks great, the white face is extra scary. But, his clothes need to be torn, ragged and dirty.

He looks great. I too would say distress the clothing a bit and maybe pose him in a motion stance...i just looks to static.

I'd say lose the hat, tie and jacket. Gravediggers wouldn't be dressed up to do their work. Dirty up his clothes and maybe fix the shovel in his hands?

I love the creepy face and he'll look fantastic out in a dimly lit graveyard!

What I do to dirty things up is I tie a string to my bike and tie the Hat,Shirt.ect and
start to ride my bike if it doesnt do enough I tie a brick for weight onto it.
You could use a car but im only 13.

what's missing.....a lantern

Just my humble opinion, but I think he needs a new outfit...he looks more like a groom than a gravedigger.

Looks good. I'm on board with the "dirty him up" comments. I would also suggest losing the hat. It just doesn't seem to fit with the rest of his outfit.

If I were putting him in my graveyard, I would actually dirty of the jacket, and have it resting across a tombstone next to him. I would have him, in a dirty shirt and suspenders, standing with his shovel. I think he'd look good with the shirt tucked in and suspenders - it just adds to the era feeling.
