Title: Death
Post by: Little Jo on February 22, 2009, 12:23:07

A character I initially created and contributed for the PF klicky swapping event, but never showed here and now re-made for my own collection. Legs and head as well as the black cloak are self made casts (so the legs can be clicked into the lower body part as well as the head has the typical "nose" lower part for keeping the figure together); same for the hourglass.

This is definitely one of the most sinister customs I have ever laid eyes on. :0

I never thought about the skeleton figures being very spooky before before, but there's something about the grin on this skull face which gives it an aura of evil when combined with those black robes and scythe.

The hourglass you created is absolutely fantastic! :love:

And the photo of Death leaving the Underworld is superb. Very atmospheric! 8-)

Another excellent custom Little Jo  :wow:! Is there a hood used in another theme that could be used to cover his head?

Very nice Little Jo, I really like the hourglass also. The use of shadow in the photos is superb, especially against the white of the skeleton.

Very nice custom, very atmospheric, and would make a great centrepiece for a Halloween diorama.

It looks like you used the separate skull, rather than the skull from a skeleton, did you try both and opt for this one?

Wow!

Next step is to make a chess board, and make her play chess with a crusader! :lol:

Perfect!

almost too spooky/creepy to look at.  i particularly like the use of the shadows in the photo, as well as the black tunnel from the underworld.  the stark contrast of the very black and the very white add even more to the visual grab.

Thanks for your nice comments although the content actually is a little bit dark sided.

Hm, I don't know any, but it may be an option to extend the cloak's hood to cover the head.

No, the hour glass is made from two bottle halves (not the old beer bottles but the new ones), customized in shape, than made a mould and a transparent cast.

Yes, I did -- both: used the separate skull and I tried the skeleton skull before. The problem with the skeleton one was that it was to small in contrast to the body. PM figures do have a quite large head in contrast to the body, in contrast the skeleton one is more in realistic proportions which didn't fit quite well on a normal suited klicky body.

To be honest the stark contrast between black and white is just a result of the low dynamic range of the (digital) camera; personally I would liked to have more shades in between. Anyhow I'm stisfied with the result.
