Elfula Helmut Done!

[Lauriebeast]

Well kids, finally got this uglyass little dude finished. I found his striped outfit and all the leather to make his entire outfit at the thrift store.....waaay too much fun . The critter that he has on his hat is from an old stole from the 30's or 40's. Not sure if I'll be using it that way for Halloween.

Anyway, he was a real kick to make and a complete departure from my usual style. I really enjoyed the challenge.

Another AWESOME FLIPPIN JOB Laurie! Wow ... just Wow

[HalloweenZombie]

That is just incredible!!! The eyes, the teeth, the expression, the outfit...all killer.

[dave the dead]

Way to go Laurie!

That is just too freakin' cool! The outfit puts it over the top. The leather is a great touch and the little animal head is really a perfect touch. (My mom had an old fur stole that had a couple of those heads and some clawed feet on it!) I would so love to see one of your creations in person as I have the feeling the pics don't do them justice. Outstanding prop!:jol:

[Revenant]

Holy cow. If Santa Claus saw that he'd sleep with the doors locked and one eye open for the rest of his life.

Mean little bastard, he is! And that leather jacket is just an awesome touch... totally makes him a more real character. Again Laurie you take my breath away.

[Joiseygal]

LB you are amazing!!!! It is awesome with so much detail!!!!

[turtle2778]

I just love it. He is just so life like. I want this one BAD!! I am just in love with it, I can totally see him in my house. He's fantastic and so are you LB. Another fabulous creation, I can't wait to see what you do next.

[Just Whisper]

Laurie, your stuff is always so amazing. Your talent is exceeded only by your imagination. I think this one may be my favorite so far.

[RoxyBlue]

This is just a phenomenal piece, LB. Wow, OMG, holy frikkin' cow, and several other superlatives I can't think of at the moment!

[KimilyTheStrange]

Right friggin on Laurie!!!

[Mr_Chicken]

Standing ovation, Laurie! Standing ovation!

[Spookineer]

Yes, what they all said.... I'm speechless.

[Otaku]

So this is the guy that make the toys for the bad boys and girls! I can't believe how "alive" he looks, LB. Come Christmastime, you could place him next to the tree as if he were helpng decorate it. Superb, Laurie - you are the master!

(Otaku bows low)

[Lauriebeast]

Thank you everyone....I'm gonna have fun with THIS one :D

[Spooky1]

Now that little guy is just down right creepy. Amazing job Laurie. I love him! He'd give me nightmares if I had him in my house.

[IMU]

Why do I get the feeling that Elfula is the product of Vampiress getting busy with Santa Clause? :eek:

[Devils Chariot]

Laurie, your realism creeps me out. I cannot retreat the safety of celluclay bumpiness or strip mache wrinkles, but instead must stare into the uncanny valley and step forward (whimpering the lords prayer)!

[Lady Nyxie]

He turned out fantastically! Great job!!!

[Tyler]

Wow, AMAZING, I love the expression and outfit!

[Ghoul Friday]

Hey! He's done! Niiiiiiiice :) I still love those eyes and that mouth. Unpleasant indeed. nasty little dude.

[smileyface4u23]

He is just awesome LB!! Your talent never ceases to amaze me!

[Spooklights]

Looks like he's trying to get the candy back from the TOT's. Nice job!

[Lauriebeast]

Thanks everyone :)

[cerinad]

As usual I am stunned!! You do such great work!

[Don Givens]

He looks like he stepped right out of a horror film.

[DeathTouch]

It will be a movie for sure!

[Scary Godmother]

Oh My God Laurie! This guy is just perfect from head to toe! I especially love the bloody teeth and his eyes. He looks so real, if were a TOT, I would be totally afraid to walk past past him!:jol:

[Lauriebeast]

Thanks much you guys. I was goofing around with the camera and decided to take a shot of the three elves....Aloitious, Helmut, and Isaac.

[smileyface4u23]

Awwwww...Aloitious and Isaac look like they just adore their new brother. :)

[Draik41895]

thats crazy awesome!!!!!!looks like he wants to steal my soul!

[Hauntiholik]

Fabulous detail work LB! I hope you keep him out on display all year long. You'll make him mad if you box him up for storage.

[Lauriebeast]

Thanks you guys. I planned on keeping Helmut stored under Morbidias' skirt, so I don't think he'll be too mad about that :)

[RoxyBlue]

I can tell from the photo the other two elves know who the King is:)

[Ms. Wicked]

Laurie, he is simply amazing!

He's got such a sinister vibe about him, in his expression. And the outfit is perfectly matched.

Your talent knows no boundaries!

[Lauriebeast]

Thanks Roxy and MsW. Helmut is up to no good I tell ya. Between he and Morbidia, I think I'm gonna have my hands full.....KIDS!:googly:

[Silent Requiem]

breatht aking, laurie! looove the jacket!!

[Lauriebeast]

Thanks SR, much appreciated.

[SpectreTTM]

Ya gonna leave him out for Christmas as well?

I like the idea put up props leave them up for 2 holidays. :)

[Ghostess]

Totally love this guy! You always do such good work. :)

[mechagrover]

That looks a little too much like one of my nephews....

[HauntCast]

LB, You are a master. 'Nough Said!

[Lauriebeast]

Thank you all :)
