Hopefully I'm not embarrassing myself here, considering what everyone else has been able to build, but here goes. This is my third attempt at a groundbreaker, please be gentle.

Brad, that is awesome! It's good to see a different technique and look in a groundbreaker.

[Dr Morbius]

I like that! It has a clean look, which is refreshing. I love the neck bones showing too. The face is in good proportion, and it looks like he's in agony. Nice work!

[JohnnyL]

That's REALLY nice!

[TearyThunder]

He's awesome! I really like him!

[krough]

Really really nice. I agree, its nice to see a new take on things

[RGalati]

Great job. I started my first mache head and it's not looking great. What did you use?

[slimy]

I likes it. I likes it a lot. Different is good.

[ScareFX]

Embarrassing yourself? No way! That prop looks great Brad!

[spideranne]

I like it. The texture is unusual, how did you do it?

[Eyes_in_the_dark]

Damn Brad I wish I could do one half as good as your...and on you first try...you should be proud dude!
God I need to stay away from this forums because every time I come here I see something else I would like to do.

Wow. how can you be nervous to post that?? Silly boy. Its very good! I agree with the others nice to see a new look.

NOW, we just gotta know... what did you use? how did you make it?

[Otaku]

Brad, that looks good to me! I really like that neck and the texturing is nice, too. Great job!

[Hellrazor]

That bleepin rocks! Yes how did you make it? Wheres the HOW TO???? How did you make it so detailed. Questions Questions Questions... we want answers LOL

Its great! Really!

[Brad Green]

WOW, Thank you everyone for all the praise, I really appreciate it coming from folks as talented as you all are! Questions; lemme see, first, it's actually my third groundbreaker, it's just the first one I kinda just winged it on. The head, as with everything I've made, is just based on one of those really cheap foam skulls you get at Walgreen's, re-cut to the shape I needed. The body is 3 pieces of 2" tombstone foam cut to shape and then sanded out (thier sandwiched around a wood/aluminum frame work), the whole thing is covered in thin polyester quilt batting soaked in latex and then airbrushed. I'm sorry, but I never really thought anyone would be interested enough in my work for me to do a "how-to".

Here's the second one (obviously inspired by Krough's fantastic work!)

Love both of them, especially the moss on the base of the second one. I was just going to paint my bases flat black but the moss will really help it blend in. Love the use of quilt batting also. The texture is quite unique and intresting, in a good way!!

[Dr Morbius]

Kickass!

[Ghostess]

Nervous??? What in the heck for??? That's awesome!!!

[Beepem]

dude those are amazing! the second ones teeth! woww
