Balrog's Cousin

The gates of Hell have opened wide to deliver this fine specimen. It was supposed to be another skull, but the creative sparks flew when a piece of cardboard from a dry cleaner's hanger entered the equation. It became the support for those menacing jaws.

Here's a close-up of the paint job using red as a base, orange for highlights, a black wash and yellow highlights. The hands are attached to wooden posts.

Throw a black, torn cloth over it to create a full-bodied work.

The original skull plan is almost done.
