Mr. Lo Pan

For a contest at Hauntforum.com the goal was to use Monster Mud as the main component. I wanted to take it a bit further than the normal grim reaper type Monster Mud prop and really wanted to get a lot of flowing folds into the fabric of the prop. I settled on a seated figure on a stack of crates. Instead of burlap which is used as the typical Monster Mud medium I used muslin. I also wrapped his body in bandages for an added texture and spent a lot of time painting him with multiple washes of color to bring out the depth of the folds. I was very pleased with the results.
