Namahage(Japanese Boogie-man)

[yokaijohn]

The Namahage is a type of Oni(ogre/demon),from Akita prefecture,which is used by Japanese Parents to scare disobedient children into behaving(much like the western Boogie-man).I sculpted his head,knife,and scab-bucket from Clay.I made his straw outfit from twine.And all the sculpted parts were painted with acrylics and sealed with Modpodge.The body is a red castaway's.

I like the use of the orange body and the way you made the straw outfit. Great sculpt, too!

[piecemaker]

Great sculpt and paint job!

Love the head John. It would make a cool Bigfoot or Yeti if you took off the horns too.

[babycyclops]

He's really great. Very cool sculpt and paint job too.

awesomeness as always

[Fire Marshal Bill]

He turned out great John!

[yokaijohn]

Thanks everyone.And Mike,the pic lightened the color,his body is actually red in real life.And John you're right without horns (and with a different paint color),he would make a good Yeti or Bigfoot I think.

i love that head sculpt/expression and the contrast with the straw colored hair/costume and orange body.

Thanks Goblin,Sandy,Laurie,and Cat.And Laurie the Hair color was one of Tomoko's suggestions(I was going to give him black at first,but I'm glade I went with Tomoko's idea).Oh also the body looks a little lighter in the pics(its actually a Castaway Red body though).
