Thread: My pumpkin king costume

Tweet

Here's the mask I've been working on.









I have more early steps on my phone, but lost my usb cord. Its a papermache/joint compound with lots of plaster of paris at the end for the texture. I don't think the photos quite do it justice because the texture really looks great.

Great work! That looks like a mask you could really wear all night.

I inherited a couple of foam mattresses from my grandparents a while back when they moved, I've been re-purposing the foam for various things, mostly pull string hands, but I used a bit to pad the mask, its surprisingly comfy in there.

Now the gloves... in progress











the gloves from a 3 pack I was given a couple weeks back and the foam board is from the dollar store, these things will cost me like $2 total lol.

have the "skeleton" done of the right hand, when I finish with the left I'm going to paint them similar to a pumpkin stem and add autumn colored vines.

Very nice work. The Pumpkin King is one of my favs!!

Looking good!

Great work can't wait finished display.

I love having a job that allows me to work on this for 7 or so hours a night lol. I'll be painting one glove while finishing up the other tonight. I also will work on a big cauldron and painting my faux candles. I've been distracted in the past, but I always come back to what I love, prop making.

I have always wanted to do something like this. Maybe one day I will get brave enough to actually try my hand at paper mache.
