Thread: Vampire Bride WIP

Tweet

So, I had my heart set on making a vampire bride this year. I wanted her to look kind of like the old hammer horror movies where they had the giant fangs. I'm still not sold on her fangs I might make them smaller, they do glow in the dark as does her head. I made her from a base to an oscillating fan, a mop handle, lots of duct tape, cardboard and newspaper, a blue pool noodle with wire threaded inside for pose ability. She has an old wedding dress I scored for $1.00. The wig I bought last year after Halloween for like 75 cents. All told I have maybe $30 in her. Missing are red led eyes and I'm still working on her hands and boobs. I wanted her to have a red beating heart but I don't think that will work out. Please let me know what you think.



More WIP pics in my album.

Good job, I just picked up an old wedding dress at a yard sale today and plan on making some sort of bride or other.

great job!

She's look great and really love her dark eyes! How about changing the eyebrow shape to look less hopeful and more menacing. Perhaps like this:

Hmm, that's a good idea. I might do that. I put in her boobs, still have to work on placement and I cut her fangs down a bit. The red Led eyes look great, I'll have to make a video. Here's how she looks now:

I mean this in a good way, the fangs make me laugh! But since you're cutting them down, there should be no worries.

On her lips, have you thought about making them red? Not sure about the black lips but it's not bad either.

Agreed on changing the eyebrows & since we're discussing the eye area, she needs eyelashes. You can get fake lashes at Walmart, CVS, Target, etc., but closer to Halloween you can find shaped & crazy looking ones so you may wanna wait & check those out.

You might also wanna give her some lids for those lashes. Look at your own face for reference, but a top & bottom lid would give her more definition & a place for those lashes & you can rim the bottom lid in red.

I guess I should ask where is she gonna be? If she isn't going to be seen up close then the little details like lids & lashes won't matter. If she's gonna get a close inspection, then it's worth the time on the little details, otherwise, don't worry about it.

I think she's going to go either in my graveyard or next to my mausoleum. I have a ton of decision making yet on where things will go and the layout.

Looks awesome very nice work!!!

Great prop!
