This is about my project for a residential Halloween walk through I was asked to help work on for 2011. I decided to get started early and surprise them with two full sized pirate goblins based on the models from the online game World of Warcraft. My original inspiration came from this Rackam figure of a goblin pirate captain.

Hands
The forearms with the original hands.
The original model didn't have enough detail in the fingers so I rebuilt them. I used part of the existing hand. I sculpted the fingers our of pink insulation foam and reinforced everything with fiberglass.
I covered the foam and fiberglass with Epoxy clay. Then I cut up and attached resin Easter eggs to for fingernails.
I carved detail into the finger nails with a dremel and file. From there the hands were primered and painted.
Building the body
The body started off as 3d model I pulled from the game. I assembled it out of cardboard and then filled with expanding foam.
I am working on attaching the arms. He's dressed in this stylish garbage bag to protect his pants and boots.
Painting the head and ears
I figured the ears would be banged into everything during production and set up so I fiber glassed them and used epoxy clay for the detail.
I attached the ears to a section i cut out of the head so that they would be removable and fiber glassed them into one solid piece. This also made it the inside of the head accessible so i can install lights into the eyes.
