[Ferryman's Wake]

Working on new scarecrow...surprise...no pumpkinheads this time. More of a human look.



just a wig stand with jaw cut off, a previous years skull jaw inserted, a ping pong eye and some paper clay sculpting





painting in progress, burlap strips dredged in mache glue wrapped around


Body will be a a combo of vines and limbs but mostly hidden by clothing. Obviously this isn't anything new, just my take on a classic.

Goin to cut some of the burlap to reveal more facial detail, lighten the eye, add rope around neck, highlight burlap....oh and then build the body. I love scarecrows....

[KnowSomethingJonSnow]

That looks pretty creepy. Good job!

 

[Ferryman's Wake]

Started work on body, I'm really a go with the flow builder and this may look completely different by saturday, we'll see.

 

[Ferryman's Wake]

Probably able to see this better, need to touch up paint on face and eye especially, shadow burlap some, hat........, add more clothing, might give him some indication of pants, overcoat......mayyyyybe, don't want to copy Rots Johnny Appleseed too blatantly.

 

[Ferryman's Wake]

That is one wicked looking scarecrow. I love scarecrows too....good thing I wasn't born a bird.

 

[Nevergoback]

Ohh, that is really good.

 

[Ferryman's Wake]

Thank you all very much! Glad he's being well received, my initial plan was to use a ragged top hat sort of thing but I'm not sure now. Won't work on it again until tomorrow evening. We'll see where it goes and Thank you again, I draw so much inspiration from all of you here at HF, best one on the web IMO.

 

[Ferryman's Wake]

Added coat and decided on hat. Painting and distressing today.

 

[Nyghthawke]

That's looking fantastic! Like the others I, too, am waiting the final reveal with bated breath

 

[E_Eisenheim]

So cool! This is the first year we've used a scarecrow. Also made our own. That actually looks like the same hat we are using for ours. Can't wait to see the finished piece.
