Bone-Thief

This is my first prop I made. I based this on one of the creatures on "Eternal Darkness" for the GameCube. A friend of mine told me how much fun she had playing through the game that it got me excited to try it out. She let me borrow it, and I thought it was a terrific game. Out of all the creatures, the Bone-Thieves were the ones I thought could work as a halloween prop. In the game, the Bone-Thief is a lovecraftian creature that enters into people and uses their skin like a suit. I studied the look of the creature and bought what I could use that resembled it. Then I sculpted the face, since nothing like it existed and the rest was attached to piping. I then coated it with a lot of paper mache and liquid latex. It was such work, but it later payed off when my friend was impressed with it that she had it borrowed for halloween. As great as it looks, it wasn't the most stable. I found that not only was it too wide to put in a car (it went inside diagonally across the driver seat) it also was easy to damage (notice the newspaper cracking through) and eventually it's easy to fall apart. But I still have it, just in case I get robbed.
