PROFESSOR CASKET, Monster Hunter

[GaryPlaysWithDolls]

Presenting...Professor Casket, monster hunter! Wait, you've never heard of Professor John Casket? Well, he would be more famous as he was supposed to assist VanHelsing in that whole Dracula business, but he was passed out on the floor of a London opium den surrounded by expensive prostitutes, which he could not afford to pay (and therefore had to sell all of his silver bullets to afford to settle his tab)



Professor Casket is my original character. Not much of a paranormal investigator, really. And he is the last person you'd want rescuing you, as he is as likely to kill innocents accidentally as he is to kill monsters intentionally. If VanHelsing was a total jerk, he would be Casket. But he's always equipt...



...for any situation...



Whether it be killing monsters, descrating graves, or seducing young village girls...



He's been at it since the late 1800's and has stayed young through a combination of morphine and black magic.



The head started out as this:



I scuplted a nice hair on his before I realized that most of it would be covered up with the collar of his shirt and coat. If you look close you can see where all of his stakes have been pounded with a hammer to give that flat end look.

Thanks for looking!

Cool figure, love the coffin full o' gear.

Another great character. Your stories are always a blast to read.

It may seem like a real little thing... but for some reason, I dig that upside down skull on the casket.

And to reference your other thread, I think the teeth look good. The entire head came out great, for that matter. Quite a different vibe from the original sculpt.

He's been at it since the late 1800's and has stayed young through a combination of morphine and black magic.

Just like Keith Richards.

This guy is just awesome.

[BlackKnight]

Great Stuff Gary.
I really like your work on the environment you created. Makes the Figure Pop !.

[shellhead]

Wow! He looks awesome Gary!
He reminds me of one of the cool hosts of those
horror comics by Charlton in the 70's.

[thunderbolt]

where'd the coffin come from? You showed me one that was FC size.

[GaryPlaysWithDolls]

Michael's Halloween bin...99 cents I think. His weapons coffin is in the spirit of El Mariachi, Supernatural and Grimm.

[jimsmegos]

Very cool!

[HumanWolfman]

Great looking figure Gary. The weapons stash is awesome!

[GaryPlaysWithDolls]

Here's with his teeth painted flesh-tone and then dry-brushed white...(doesn't turn up in picture well.)

[piecemaker]

Cool figure,nice job!

[Meule]

Everything about this is friggin cool: the diorama, the jacket, the coffin full of weaponry

[Confessional]

The goofy upside skull logo makes it. That's a cool original take.

BTW, where'd you score that good looking 2 handed axe from?... I have an angry, rebellious Conquest gorilla that needs one of those.
