Spooky Tree

Said to be possessed of an evil spirit, this tree stands alone at the back of the Shadow Farm Cemetery. On a dark night when the moon is low and the wind is just right, a low moaning can be heard as the spirit longs to escape its earthly prison.

Basil Shardington

Basil Shardington was once the Mortician and a trusted member of the Shadow Farm community...an educated man respected by all. His constant exposure to death tainted his great scientific mind to the point of insanity. He developed a series of late-night secret experiments designed to cheat the Reaper, using corpses as his test subjects. Convinced he had developed a formula that held the promise of eternal life, Basil injected himself with his toxic cocktail. Now Basil is not quite dead, not quite alive...more ghoul than man. He roams the tombs and graveyards, forever obsessed with returning life to his embalmed customers.

the Drifter, painting begins

Here I have laid down a basic wood tone paint job for the Drifter. It consists of an antique white base coat with washes of brown, black, and light grey.

the Drifter, continued progress

I have been piecing at this sculpt for a few days now. Here I have added some bulk to the upper arm and neck. I have also defined some of the odd shapes and bulbous protrusions of the lower body, head, and torso.

The Drifter

a work in progress. This is the first time I have explored true monstrosity in a sculpt.

A Robot is Born

My little buddy Fox thinks alot of my abilities. Last weekend, he assembled the robot you see here. "Come on Dave", he kept imploring. " I have everything we need to make a robot. All I need from you is to bring him to life."

If you happen to be in Southwestern Ohio, be on the lookout for an anchor-bodied, stick-legged, bucket-headed robot. I hear he is causing all sorts of trouble.
