Thread: Some undead friends of mine.

Tweet

Some work of mine, none of it is new but it's in my photobucket account!

This piece is not realy a good friend of mine, more of an acquaintance.



This nasty thing is urathane rubber with expanding foam inside, painted with inks.

This guy and I go way back, in fact he lives in my kitchen and refuses to leave at least he does not eat much.

He is foam latex and is pinned to a head form for painting.

Nothing worse than being sucked dry and covered in webs, but what can you do?


A latex mask I made a few years ago and gave to a buddy of mine.

those are awesome
how long did it take you to do that leg?

good work. any howtos?
Darrell

Thanks for the responses!

The leg took me 3 days to do, it was a lifecast from my girlfriend's leg so I did not have to sculpt it and that saved me time plus it always looks better. I poured the rubber straight into the cast so it also saved me making another mold fom my cast.

What kind of how-to were you looking for?

Those are really great props!! Your 18 years of experience sure has paid off! That leg is so realistic and I absolutely love the bloody mask! Very creepy!! I also like the burned spider victim...well, I like them all! You really do wonderful work. I think we'd all like to have a how-to that has step by step instructions as to how you made these props. That means your props are so good that we all want to copy them!

those are so awesome!

The molding is a great idea. Did you just use standerd gause?

That has got to be the greatest leg I have ever seen!!!!

There is some standard gause/cheese cloth laminated into the latex mask to help keep it's shape when out of the plaster mold. The shell for the mold of the leg was plaster bandages, and the rubber was "body double" (a skin safe silicone by Smooth-on).
The body wrapped in webs is a full plastic skeleton with plastic wrap over the bones and bulked out with foam in some spots. One final layer of plastic over the whole thing, I took a heat gun and textured it made holes, basicly made it look as little like plastic as I could. Than some sprayglue (to get the paint to stick) some brown,black paints and wrapped it in the halloween webs (I KNOW you all have a stash). I want to make a oversized spider to go with it (someday) and web my yard with all this on place.
Speaking of does anyone here have a webgun?http://tbn0.google.com/images?q=tbn:...od/mw-d_lg.gif

Nice looking pieces and as a matter of fact...I have 6 new cases of web guns!
