My First Corpsing Attempt

[Terrormaster]

Well, tried my hand today at corpsing to detail the skull on my grave grabber. I winged it using a mish-mash of techniques.

I used an old pantyhose (yes, clean thank you), some spray on craft adhesive, some creepy moss from Spirit, and some shreds of wig hair.

I started with this skull which was from an older spike light set (the tones were already on the base so it saved me some painting):

And ended up like so:

While not as good as some of the work I've seen here, I pretty satisfied with the results which took little more than an hour to complete.

Looks great!

good job on a first corpse.

Good work. I have found that cutting the jaw so it can drop a little makes a big difference in the way it looks, just cut along the jaw bone an across the teeth. Open the eye sockets and paint the inside with flat black.

Looks great!

Good job. I kept trying to remind myself to bus some of that moss stuff from the craft store this year, but never did so. The hair really ads a nice touch, also.
