After seeing what another fan did here:

I decided I need to follow in his footsteps. A 12" scale Sam had been on my backburner for almost a year now, but the dementor made such a great base, that I decided to do a 6" one first.
Plans are to do his cowl in sculpey flex, possbly wired to make it pose how I want it. I'll be adding some small yellow LEDS, to light the eyes and mouth, and also some added polyfill "smoke" arund his neck, like I did with our traps.
I grabbed a bunch of images of the web from various sources:
And came up with a quick sketch combining things I liked from the various sources:
Since I wanted the head hollow for lights, I figured I'd first use two halves of a plastic easter egg for a inner "frame". That proved to be too large, so I fell back to the tried and true aluminum foil ball sculpting trick.
Supersculpey and a few hours later, here's what I've got:
The top is just on for scale, and will be completely redone. Once I complete sculpting, I'll cure it in the oven, and then make a bottom to go on it, after removing [hopefully] the aluminum foil.
The lights will just be one of those cheap halloween yellow led necklaces I picked up last Halloween season, 3 in the head, and 5 around the base of the neck, nestled in polyfoam to create the "smoke"effect.
