I started this prop well over a year ago with what ended up looking like a green reptile\horse...thing.
I never could figure out the eyes, so in my frustration he was abandoned until recently.
I ripped out his stick teeth and gave him some eyes. I used cracked glass bulbs that I got off the ends of an old curtain rod.Then I used paper clay to give this guy a proper snout. The recipe for the clay can be found at http://ultimatepapermache.com/
From the very beginning I wanted to ensure that he would have glowing eyes. I used three led's in the head that change color's from red to green to blue sequentially.
From there he received a base of black paint and finally red paint over that.
Once I got the whole head covered in clay and painted I began adding his new (more proper) teeth and some scales.
Finally last night he earned his first horns.
What cha think? I think he looks pretty menacing. Now he needs a body for next Halloween
