I decided to try a different corpsing technique this year:

(clicky)

It's liquid nails mashed all over a bucky, then spray-painted black, then webbed, then dusted with grey and white spray paint. Then my usual hot-glue & LED eyes.

I modded the bucky first though, by replacing the skull with one of the skeleton-store 2-piece skulls, so that it wouldn't have the cranial cut. The skull is held onto the shaft with a wooden ball, allowing the head to flop around slightly and rotate freely, and the jaw is wired on to flop freely. Thus he can more easily be posed in "dead" positions.

Love it! I'm kinda partial to the dry look myself. Those are the kind you always find chained to the walls in the old dungeon cells. Sweet.

I think I like that better than regular corpsing. Great job. Thanks for the tutorial.

It's just regular stretchy cobweb stuff from Spirit. I stretched it somewhat thin, then went over it with some diluted elmer's glue with a paintbrush to get it to hold together. Turned out pretty well. :)
