Description For my costume Design Class, we were assigned to take influences from various places and combine them into a collection of plates.

In this case, the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse by Albrecht Durer came to mind. Next, I was inspired by some 18th century engravings of soldiers fighting with pirates that I dug up. Finally, the icing on the cake came in the form of my ipod shuffle line up featuring: Metallica, Motorhead, the Misfits and Rob Zombie.

The challenge then became how to link these different points of inspiration without sacrificing any of them.

So, here we have Lemmy Kilmeister of Motorhead as Famine, complete with rat skulls and cow jaws.

I would've thought Famine would be on the skinny side, but the animal bones are a nice touch.

Eh, I guess the idea was that he devours everything in his sight, forcing everyone else into famine.

Thanks :: smirks :: I like me some dead animal parts.

The cow bones are my favorite detail. I read cow bones and went "what? where" and had to look again, and then I giggled.
