Thread: First Pumpkinrot-style groundbreaker.

Tweet

Well here it is, my first attempt at a Pumpkinrot style groundbreaker, and it's my only groundbreaker (ran out of time) haha.

Made with a cardboard tube base, newspaper ribs, paper towel and tissue/toilet paper mache.








I could've done a better job on the colour, but overall I'm happy with it..

Nice, I'm liking it.

I love it, brilliant work it looks nice and rotted

yeah, first rate work. I think I'm saving a couple of your pics to help me make one next year! Is is mostly paper towel for the skin? I've tried tissue paper a few times before but never really got the hang of it. I usually end up getting the tissue all over me instead of the corpse. But great job

I actually used paper towel as the base layer of mache, then used toilet paper on top because it's thinner and you can get more detail. But yes it's VERY tedious to work with, once the toilet paper is wet it just falls apart under it's own weight so it can take a while, just keep at it! And thankyou!

Also I forgot to mention, I used a couple of thin strips and patches of cheese cloth for some of the corpsing.

Great work, I also think i may have to make one of these, you can never have too many ghouls in the graveyard.
