Thread: Ephram Vessell, groundskeeper prop

Tweet

Ephram Vessell is my cemetery groundskeeper. He is an animated, motor driven prop built on a pvc armature. His head is sculpted in celluclay and paperclay over a modified urethane skull. His hands are 2 part urethane cast in a flexwax mold of my hands.


Backstory and video of Ephram can be seen on my blog:
The Shadow Farm: Ephram Vessell

too cool, I love his hair blowing. Per usual, Dave, a amazing job

just checked out the video and AMAZING!! love him great work as always

The picture doesn't give this prop justice. the prop is just so real and creepy with great movement.

Just looked at your other creations, you do some amazing work, I'm inspired!

Dave, can I become your official prop building stalker? I promise I will just watch you build props and oogle at them...of course.

What makes his head move?
Creepy guy, nice work

There is a motor near the front of his chest. The head is mounted to a piece of pvc that acts as a lever...the motor crank is linked to the lever, which raises and lowers the head.
I have had a bunch of requests for a how-to on this movement...it is on my how-to/to-do list for this year.

In the mean time... you can see a picture under the coat here.

another amazing prop , looks wonderfull.

Another beautifully made character, dave....I love it!
