Thud, landscape fabric is a favorite of prop makers as its cheap, easy to work with, usually black and has a rough texture sometimes.
A lot of people use what is called "monster mud" for their creatures. Its bascially drywall compound and paint mixed together, I think the ratio is 50:50 but it can vary depending on your preference. Anyway you basically coat the fabric with the MM and let it dry...taking care to make folds and such as it dries.
