Seriously? You're only 13??? Wow. I see a BRIGHT future in haunting for you!!!

I totally love everything about this prop. The color, the multiple pieces, everything. And your location you chose to display it rocks.

I couldn't resist. I'm following your blog now.

You know we all want to adopt you, right?

Great job. (and I love a self-motivated-to-create-something kid!)

great work! i have a couple questions... did you just airbrush it? and did you just use salt to keep it from molding or did you coat it with something as well? Thanks!

THANK YOU SOOO MUCH EVERYONE!!! I really appreciate all of this.

@SuperCreep31 I spray-painted him black all over and then drybrushed him. I started with the darker colours, and worked my way up to light grey. I then painted the ectoplasm parts various shades of blue, and tossed in some black and white.

I used white glue and water for the mache mix, so I don't need to add salt. My witch and groundbreakers, however, were made with the old flour and water combo. Some of them are starting to grow mould. If anyone knows how I can fix this, I would really appreciate it.

@debbie5 That cracked me up. If you want me, come and get me.

Sweeeeeet!!! Serious major creepiness. And yes, the mouth is perfect for him, I think spectral beings look best with some distortion. Makes it more unearthly. Your placement of the arm bits to suggest him emerging from the wall is awesome.

As for the mold, last time I made flour/starch papier mache, I added a heaping spoonful of medicated antifungal foot powder (mold is actually a type of fungus.) As an experiment I kept the lid on the mache goop and left it in the back of my refrigerator to see how long it would stay mold-free. It finally started mouldering about 2 years later.

You, young sir, are obscenely talented for a lad of your years. If you keep getting better, by the time you're of voting age I think you're going to make most of us look like hacks.
