Default THG Cauldron Creep

This year was riddled with distractions for me, and left me coming into October with one half-done Groundbreaker and nothing new to add to our display for this year. After wandering around YouTube one evening, I stumbled back upon DC's Cauldron Creep videos. I realized that this was a relatively simple project (compared to some of my past endevors) and I had nearly everything I needed to build one. So I placed a quick order with Monsterguts, and started building. I made a few changes to suit myown needs, but in the end the output was the same. An awesome prop that was sure to draw attention; and it did!

Thanks DC for sharing the idea and design with us. You da Man!

If you only have time for one great prop, this is the one to make. The movement and overall look are excellent, and your modifications add a personal touch.

Every time I see someone's take on the cauldron creep, I tell myself we really, really, really have to make one of these guys

Wow!
Nicely done, and the extra touches make a big difference.
The eyes still look a bit bright to me, but that's just personal taste.
Thanks for walking us through this.

Great looking Creep! Man, I really need to make something similar to one of these. They really do stand out. It's those eyes and the movement of the head!

This is great. I think I might try this as a first animated prop for next year. The head moving at a separate speed sells the whole thing very well.
