Thread: The Grave Digger

Tweet

I have seen many cool interpretations of Grave Diggers on Halloween sites.
This is my take on it I wrapped up this week. Only 40 more days to go to the big day. Does anyone ever else get tired of building props? I do, then I can't wait to go back to it the next day. This is the best time of the year IMO.

That looks great! Love the expression.

Mahoney, that really came out great, very realistic looking. I like the pose and the expression. And yes, I do get tired of building props...3 or 4 times a day. LOL But I take a break for an hour and before I know it I am wandering back out to work on something. I have been known to put off eating all day in favor of working on props, as I am sure many others do. Just can't figure out why I don't lose any weight. He he he

ooooh he's creepy love the face..................put some buzzards around him as pets

Very nice! He looks awesome! What a great backdrop you have in the picture.

very cool! Love the clothes and face.

Wow he looks great

Nice!!!!!!!!!

Looks awesome...Hey you can help me, I'm working on a grave keeper and have everything but my hands. How did you do you hands to hold onto the lantern? I was planning the same with the shovel in one hand and a lantern in the other but cannot figure out how to make them to hold something and have been stressing about it for about 4 days. Thanks a lot. If anyone has ANY ideas, feel free to message me.

They are made out of wire and foam and covered with gloves. I sent you a quick tutorial message.
I will make a full post to the forum for everyone to see as soon as I can snap off some pictures while I am making the next set of hands. I have Christopher Lee Hammer Dracula I am attempting to build this week.
