From Clive Barker's Nightbreed, I chose to create a background extra. He has no name, but is easy to identify in the film because he carries a musical lyre with him. I always imagined this Breed to be a poet. I always thought he was a cool design, even though he barely gets screen time. In the theatrical cut, he only appears in the end when the Breed gather in a barn and face an uncertain future. The Director's Cut gave him a couple more glimpses. To make the unnamed musician, I used a Spike figure from Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I used Sculpy to fashion his white pants, and string to create the ties at the end of his pants legs. The feet/ankles come from a Marvel Legends Submariner figure. I used a little sculpy on the upper torso to cover Spike's burn scars. The head was a random cast resin head I got off Ebay. I used Sculpy to add the tubular formations on the top of his head. The rest was just painting. I used medical tape for his bandage, cut into narrower strips. The lyre was a wood carving I found on Ebay. I altered it a little bit and then painted it. I have included a promotional photo from the movie for comparison. Please check out my other Nightbreed custom figures.

Very nicely done custom. I'm curious though. If you were to give this character a name what do you think it ought to be?

I'd name him Frank! Nah, just kidding. I have thought a lot about that over the years, and for some reason I have always felt that he was from ancient Greece. I guess his lyre makes me think that, and the top of his head looking like hair from a Greek myth! He seems like a sculpture brought to life. I am terrible coming up with names, though, and I absolutely refused to label him as the harpist, lol!

I don't know why he was overlooked by Clive when he wrote the character bios for The Nightbreed Chronicles, but that makes him even more the mystery!!

I always liked this Breed and he got no real attention.
