Ever since I heard the story of Krampus I knew I had to make a figure of him. It took me a while to find out how to approach it, but after finding a head everything kinda fell into place. He has been lying half completed on my chopping block for a month or so, and with Aya almost done I think its time to pick him back up and make some progress.
Here is what I started with:
The base that will be used is a Blanx body, a geonosian zombie for the legs, and a random demon head cast that was found online.
Krampus has more of a "goat like" leg that I wanted to mimic, which was one thing that kept me from just jumping right into the build. After inspecting the geonosians I realized that I may be able to hack it up and make use of the lower legs. Shaved it down to fit into the upper thigh and glued it into place. Later some Magic Sculpt was added to assure a solid bond.
The "victim". I can't help but feel slightly responsible...
First hurdle finished.
Sculpting fur...
...more fur
...aaaaaaaaannnnnd, more fur.
Here is how he sits. Next step is to sand down to minimize joint rub.
