Thread: Werewolf Legs Help

Tweet

I'm trying to build a werewolf costume this year complete with digitigrade stilts. What I would love to do is find a place that sells (or does custom commission work) a pair of latex werewolf legs to wear. I'm going more for the Underworld looking werewolf.

But after scouring the internet I can't find anywhere that looks like they do this kind of work. Any suggestions? Thanks!!

Something like this:

Contact Doug Goins at Hoosier Effects Lab.

Always loved this design! - Pm sent!

Ive wanted to make this as a standing prop for the longest, I bought this mask on ebay and it came without tags, no idea who made it but its huge.

The paintjob looks great in person and I know I need to add more hair. Ive been trying to puzzle out how to build the body convincingly, and after seeing LaurieBeasts life sized props I think I have a good idea on how to start.

I am not sure if you had already firgured out how to construct these...I found this, hope it helps. H1

Ya, I think I will be using gryphen's digitigrade stilt design. It looks simple and easy to build. Has anyone built them before? I'm trying to figure out what the best angle will be - comfort and look wise.

If you aren't able to find them, or find someone to make them for you, you might want to check youtube for a video by a woman called, what is it, Kandee the Makeup Artist -- she has one video that shows you how to take apart one of those pirate beards and put the facial hair on realistically using spirit gum, I think. It did look quite real and although it would probably be time consuming, you could probably do the same thing with your legs...

Had these on my computer. i forget where i got them

I have made the stilts before and attempted to do a werewolf costume, the mask came out horrid but the stilts were awesome. They let you crouch down and appear to be normal, however people will freak when you stand up. I got 7' out of my stilts, I enjoyed them and recommend building yourself a pair.

This was my first ever costume project so I wasn't to worried on looks just functionality, I want to revisit the costume and reattempt it now and see how good I could do.
