Geertos13 Posted February 23, 2011 Posted February 23, 2011 (edited) Hello Fellow Eurobricks Members ! As this is my first post in the Minifig Customisation Topic, a little introduction would be appropriate. I'm Geertos13, a Harry Potter MOCer and Brickfilmer. You probably know me from the Licensed Forum where I'm hanging around most of the time. However, I thought this TOPIC belonged here as it shows how you can make a simpel Kreacher out of a regular house elf/dobby mold. This is my first ever Customization and I muist admitt, harming such a beautifull head piece, does hurt a bit This is Kreacher. The house elf of the Black Family. He's old, ugly and a bit creepy. To get the appropriate feel I did some pretty simple customisation : 1) Push the Nose down. ( Like this ) 2) Rub of, half of the eyes printing, so that he looks bored or angry. ( depending on how you take it off ) WARNING : The Printing rubs off very easely ! 3) Cut (small knife) down the edges of the Mouth to the bottom so that he gets a sad look ( or an angry, depending on how the eyes look, once again ) 3) Using a knife again, make a small hole in one of the ears, to make he look older and maybe, "abused" as he looks in the movies 4) With the knife again, cut different holes on the cheecks and on his head, to make him look older. You can also make the original molds deeper ( eye for instance, too make him look tired ) SIDE TO SIDE : DOBBY AND KREACHER Tip : If Dobby and Kreacher are to be in the same MOC ( Hogwarts Kitchens, Spying on Malfoy ) : By Giving Dobby at hat and Hogwarts Clothing for the Kitchens, Kreacher will look even uglier CLOSE UP I hope you enjoyed it and found it usefull Comments & Critics Appreciated Edited February 26, 2011 by Geertos13 Quote
Fallen Creations Posted February 23, 2011 Posted February 23, 2011 Wow that's pretty great! Seriously I always wanted a Kreacher figure! ^^ Quote
XimenaPaulina Posted February 24, 2011 Posted February 24, 2011 Welcome to the world of minifig customization Geertos! I'm not familiar with the character Kreacher, but your customization technique is really very interesting. Nice job getting the intended old, ugly and tattered look of the face, I like the cut ear detail the best. Quote
Professor Trelawney Posted February 24, 2011 Posted February 24, 2011 Aww wow, It looks exactly like him Geertos13! Great work, keep it up Quote
Geertos13 Posted February 26, 2011 Author Posted February 26, 2011 Thanks for the comments guys ! They are really appreciated ! Welcome to the world of minifig customization Geertos! I'm not familiar with the character Kreacher, but your customization technique is really very interesting. Nice job getting the intended old, ugly and tattered look of the face, I like the cut ear detail the best. Kreacher is the House Elf of the Black Family ( Sirius Black is the only living member of it left ) And he lives at 12 Grimmauld Place where he serves his only Master, Sirius... He hates him though. Well I guess back information is not really needed. He looks like this in the movie : So that you have an idea, I made him a bit after my own imagination too so the model is not perfect accurate to the movie ! But I hope there still is some ressemblance ! Quote
Lord Starkiller Posted February 26, 2011 Posted February 26, 2011 This is Simple, but Effected, Too bad i Dont have the New Little House Elf Head, all i have is the Old one.... Quote
Geertos13 Posted February 26, 2011 Author Posted February 26, 2011 This is Simple, but Effected, Too bad i Dont have the New Little House Elf Head, all i have is the Old one.... Well I think the Old one is exactly the same mold without the printings, so you could still try to push the nose down, make him look sad, push the edges of the mouth down I guess... If you want to of course... Quote
chucker Posted February 27, 2011 Posted February 27, 2011 Nice job, though you should put some putty or something under his chin to make a drooping effect. Also, my Dobby had the same problem with the eyes. The printing came off when I first got him. I sent a reply for another head and I'm afraid to touch it. Quote
badboytje88 Posted February 27, 2011 Posted February 27, 2011 Simple yet effective! I've been thinking about getting a second Dobby to use as Kreacher. Now I just have to! Quote
LEGOfan123 Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 Wow! That is really cool It looks like Kreacher! Quote
Morgan19 Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 Echoing what's already been said... This is a great little bit of customization, you got his character across perfectly. Nice work! m19 Quote
