Challenge 880: Halloween special
My friend Lord Elpus wanted a surprise Halloween treat for his family his year, so he bought a skull as a decoration. Unfortunately he misread the scale, and when Amazon delivered it they left it wedged in his doorway.

Can you help him to gain access to his house? And maybe decorate the obstacle in an appropriate manner?

High res is here.



You can also download the layered psd file, if you need it, here.

I think Anna and Loyd will like this one, Lord Helpus!

Whereas your personal Challenge, of course, is to get rid of the railings.

Lord Elpus leaving his home on Halloween Eve. The artist reserves the right to treat this as a work of fiction. Any resemblance to real persons is entirely intentional.

I read the brief while I was half asleep this morning and thought, wow, Steve has a Lord as a friend? Then of course, I said it out loud.

Looking forward to this one!

That's excellent David! Love the giant hinge!

Re: Challenge 880: Halloween special
Thank you everyone for your kind comments. It looks really simple but building the skull interior was quite a challenge. Had to create it from all kinds of different shots.

Re: Challenge 880: Halloween special
Here's a Halloween bonus. Disposing of yet another gnome specially for Steve!



Could expiring gnomes become David's moose?

That's the ticket, an occasional properly dispatched garden gnome...

I hadn't planned on a 'ghoul moose' this week, but your comment about the possibility of a gnome becoming your 'moose' gave me this idea.
