Joiseygal's 2009 $20 Prop Entry "Flesh Eating Zombie"

[Joiseygal]

I used a reindeer motor to have the foam skull mouth move. I used clay to form the skull than I used latex to cover the clay. I inserted led lights to have the eyes glow during the night. Than I painted the skull a greenish color to make the zombie look like he is rotting. I have the zombie eating a bone from an animal he caught since he is in the woods and no humans are around to eat what he prefers, BRAINS!!!!!

[Wildcat]

Cool. Nicely done.

[trishaanne]

Good job.

[RoxyBlue]

He looks great in that red lighting and I love the nose - it reminds me of the "No Change!" episode of Twilight Zone.

[SpookySam]

I agree, it looks great in the red light. The popped-out eyeball really...um...well, it pops!

[kevin242]

"Tastes like children, er I mean chicken..."

the movement on the jaw is nice and subtle, very cool

[sharpobject]

Great job Sharon !!

[spideranne]

Ewww...Very cool.

[hpropman]

Sharon nicely done! You skills are nearly complete "nothing more will I teach you today, clear your mind of questions" Yoda. Please bring him to the next make and take he will be a great show and tell. We will have to give him a name he could be our new mascot. LOL

[Sickie Ickie]

I like what you did with the deer motor. :D nice job!

[Uruk-Hai]

I really like it. The movement is subtle. I bet the TOTs will do a double-take not sure if they saw it move or not - then they'll freak out!

[ghubertu]

Great job incorporating jaw movement, better affect than static 'eating'.

[Draik41895]

thats really neat

[Joiseygal]

Thank you for all the nice comments! I am so happy I finally have a groundbreaker for my graveyard. Contest usually are the way to get my butt in gear! :) I might replace the bone he is eating for a brain before Halloween. I have this rubber brain I wanted to use, but it would of ran me over budget. Thanks again!!!!

[Just Whisper]

very creepy and good use of technical skills. I like.

[Merlin (The Quiet One)]

[Frankie-s Girl]

A different usage for a deer motor and very creative! :cool:

[beelce]

NICE JOB JGal!!!....

[STOLLOWEEN]

Very cool, I like the vivid colors in the paint job...he is lots of fun during the daylight hours but turns creepy under the red flood. Good job.

[Spooklights]

I like the way you have him gnawing on that piece of...whatever. He's creepy...in a good way!

[Joiseygal]
