Description This is a custom MonsterHigh Vampire Guy. (The one bought from the multipack Gargoyle, Vampire set)

My wife FinleyUsagi also does the MonsterHigh Moddings. It's my first modding experience and was fully enjoyed.

The eyes and mouth were dremelled out. The Vampire guy's lips were too full to be scary. Flat white spray paint to his body. The head, hands and feet are Vinyl I believe, and the paint rejected adhering to it at first. I had to use Spackle to fill in parts of the eyes and mouth that were too hollow.

Face up and body blush were down with soft pastels and watercolor pencils. Body propped up in the box with a long screw. the Vampire guy already had a hole in it's back for accessories.

The box was thrown away wood from Home Depot. Got for free and then glued to box form, then stained a grey'ish blue. Craft moss was glued in to add age and a natural feel. After that a branch from my backyard was glued in.

The webbing on the body and box is cheese cloth soaked and dried in a watered down Elmer's Glue solution. When dried it gets very solid and un-moveable.

Oh my! Very scary! Makes me think of the scene from The Lord of the Rings where Frodo is captured by the Spider. Wonderful work here!

This is totally awsome! Kind of trying to go that way with some of my photo back drops. (still in the planning/gathering supplies stage) Did you just ask the folks at HD for the scrap wood, or do you work there & are allowed to take home trash pieces?

Oh hey so sorry for the late reply. I haven't logged into deviantart as often as I'd like to have. 


I just went in Home Depot set to by some thin planks of wood, but saw their a cart with trash cracked/cut pieces off wood left over from other people's projects. This is right by where they have a community saw for people to cut wood. I asked if they were just going to trash the wood, they said yes, I asked if I could take it, they said yes. 


No strange looks, no questions at checkout, pretty easy. 


They have a mass amount of choices for creative back drops there. The awnings and moldings come to mind. 


Good Luck.

Wow!!! This is AMAZING!!!! I love when people make the dolls look scary, this is by far the scariest that I've seen. You really did an amazing job on this. He's so spooky and I'm working on a spider doll right now! Have you considered selling? He's be perfect for my collection...but I can understand if you're attached to this wonderful piece :3

Best compliment ever! Thank you Shim

Right now he's hanging on living room wall. In all honesty I would not mind selling or parting with it... it's just I have no idea what it would go for, or how much I would ask.
