Maracas of Death!...... and friends

Skeleton musician, he's a late addition to my Gallery Kickstarter. Also has a drum, but I prefer the maracas, seems like the undead actually have s pretty good time.

That is one splendid sculpt, Phil. I find myself wondering if he might be shoehorned into my Conan project as a dash of levity amidst the carnage, iron-thews and nameless horrors of the setting. (Loved your Greek ghost as well!) Keep up the great work!  :o

Thank you Daryl, that’d be great to see him amongst the bedlam of Conan, maracaring swith not a care in the world.
 More Skeletons just around the corner too 🙂

First of four skeleton archers. I've kept it them pretty plain, so they can fit into various styles of Undead forces.
They're late additions to my Gallery Kickstarter offerings.

Wow! Excellent sculpts! 8)

I feel as though the archer should have an empty quiver after running out of arrows and be standing on one leg, with the second leg in the bow ready to fire! ;)

That is genius. Certainly worth a conversion for a block of archers :D

Thank you for the kind comments too, very much appreciated. I'll make more :)

Very nice! Much more dynamic than most undead figures.

Thank you Fred. I do want my Undead to be competent fighters and maybe a credible threat, even to a seasoned warrior.

Third Skeleton archer. One more to make and the set will be complete. I really like making them, so I'll be adding more later.

They're looking great. You do an excellent job on skulls - expressive, but believable. Looking forward to seeing more!

All the Undernourished Lads look SPLENDID, but the Fellow with the maracas is also WONDERFULLY imaginative. The need for a supporting mariachi band is there. OUTSTANDING STUFF!
