hee hee hee Thanks for posting that. The pigs rock out.

Very Creative
I have found a unique display is always more attractive to an audiance.

Cant wait to see the finished product

"complete" scene hard...
Hype much easier. Official entry soon.

oh my goodness. this is no joke. that pig turned out fabulous. you did awesome work. the coloring, picture, everything. way to go girl!!!!!!!!!!!

wow, great job, everything looks awesome, but that pig, now he's really great!! Your story line is good also. !!!

My scene Set up/ area was a bit large and hard to” image” within a simple photo and lighting proved to be a problem for the night shots that I had thought I would present.

Entry photo is a summation of the scene in natural light without some of the props listed.

Pigs Heads Prop on Stick: made for Contest (think Lord of the Flies) 1st Pig head – PC pipe with round Ball ( 2nd & 3rd switched ball out for Bleach Bottles and Milk bottles -) Paper & tape formed and shape & details. Monster Mud/ wife beater t-shirts rags material. Acrylic and spray-paint color with polyurethane sealant. Purchased 2 gallons of Drywall Mud-and had 2 gallons on hand. Had dark green latex paint 1st coat of Mud. Purchased 5 gallons ooops red latex paint for 2nd coat of monster mud. Didn’t keep receipts- $15.00
Alligator- Monster Mud 2007 Prop- had on hand- cost approximate last year $50.00
Head on a Stick/ Ground : made for Contest. Styrofoam head- carved- latex painted. Covered in toilet paper and carpenter glue. Polyurethane. Clear round glass eyes, wig hair wisps, hot glue teeth. Purchased Styrofoam Head: had rest of supplies. $2.99

Millard McVee’s Swamp Shack.
“I saw them die.
Emptied of their life.
Hacked one by one. Castrated and their heads impaled on wooden sticks. Blood and Entrails strewn wherever they landed. The scrotums were hung, over there), next to the fire.
The hacker paraded around with the body parts and bathed his body in their blood. “They” just stare from their sticks, with frozen eyes of death, mouths agape in horror. The swamp air, thick with heat, brought in the bloodsucking mosquitoes and an alligator, slowly, crept closer. It was horrible.
I closed my eyes, wishing it to be a nightmare, but I knew that I was witnessing what the town folk called, Swamp Monster Millard McVee.
Legend has it; he was “cut” from the womb by a murderous devil and cast into the swamp along with his dead mother. Nursing on his Mamas rotten flesh, he somehow survived. Some say a swamp hag found him. Some just say he’s a devil’s spawn. They say he is looking for the comfort of his mother’s arms. So he paints his body with the blood and wraps himself in their skins. Longing for the womb, I suppose. It doesn’t matter if its man or beast, he will just slaughter whatever he comes across in these swamps. The castration? Just something he does. He is also known to impale the heads on a stick and sometimes kisses them as if to breathe life back into the poor things. Then he disappears deep into the swamp laughing as if possessed by the devil. This story is centuries old and I didn’t believe. Gruesome things happen in this swamp all the time. I just didn’t believe.
When the crazed laughter began echoing in the swamp. I opened my eyes and you were here and McVee was gone. I am not sure how long I have hid here. A couple days, I think? …..Or maybe just a few hours.
I have been too scared to run, afraid that he would see. I doesn’t seem real that I saw them being hacked! I saw Swamp Monster Millard McVee swing his axe and their heads roll to the ground.
Lo, the Legend is true. I don’t want to die. Not like that.
Shhh. I hear something.
Is there someone behind that tree? “
