Corpsing a Funkin Foam pumpkin.

thanks for posting this video tutorial, they turned out really great looking. It definately makes me wanna go pick up a foam pumpkin to try this out.

Pretty cool!

Now if we could get someone to make a fakekin with the look of a Funkin with the thickness of the Michaels fakekins!!

Funkins look soooo much more realistic but they're so thick & hard to carve, while the Michaels ones are easy to carve but don't look nearly as realistic.

Awesome texture, I can think of a number of applications for this. Great finished product! Thanks for posting.

you might have answered this in the video but i couldnt use sound as i am watching this in the middle of class. but where did you by the pumpkin?

AC Moore is where he said he got his pumpkin & most of the supplies he used. They sell Funkins as does Joann Fabrics but I'd imagine you could do this on any fake pumpkin.

Michaels pumpkins look more like some kind of Halloween soccer ball than a pumpkin. WAY too smooth and evenly colored. As for Funkins... when you get a real pumpkin to carve it the Pumpkin Masters kits always say to thin the wall before carving. Maybe there's an easy way to thin the wall of a Funkin... maybe one of those large loop carving tools.

Couple years ago I wanted to do some corpsing. The lack of liquid latex left me without. I also heard of white glue, water and cotton for corpsing but I was under a time constraint and never had time to try that. I'm wondering if you or anyone here has tried the white glue and cotton method, and how well it worked?

Very nice tutorial. Thanks for sharing.
