Thread: Corpse Hands. NO CRAZY LATEX!

Tweet

Well I coulded find that "molding" latex. So I tryed a method with simple materials. This is just the outside coating. The frame of it is another day and thread.

Supply List:

• White Exterior Latex Paint (Any Finish I used satin)
• Paint Stick (Optional)
• A plastic or latex glove (I found to use your hands is a alot easyer and doesnt rip off your cotton balls)
• Hot glue gun
• Hot glue
• Cotton balls
• BAD CLOHES TO WEAR! Important!

Extras For Painting:

• Acrylic Paints (Brown, Dark Green, Black, Red)
• Paint Brush (Just those cheapo doller tree ones)
• Piece of paper/cardboard (to put your paints on)

First Step:
Warm up your hot glue gun. Run beads of hot glue along and s t r e t c h out your cotton balls along. Same way for the fingers to just wrap them arourd.


Second Step:
Mix up your paint with the paint stick (Optional). You should do this outside or a well vented room. Put on your plastic/latex glove dip your hand in the paint with the glove on. Put a good amount on to cover all the cracks but leave some.(If you like the look).
Sorry for the night picture its the only time I have to work.

Let it dry for at leased 9-12 hours (depending on how much paint you put on). Sometimes theres a little to much paint in spots and still wet some check before to paint the way you want.

Thrid Step: (EXTRA STEP YOU CAN CUSTOMIZE THE WAY YOU LIKE IT)
Paint it the way you want OR I have a few ways to due it.
First I covered it in brown acrylic. Then let it dry got olive green acrylic paint and a brush and dry brushed it on. (This was my first hand I did).

Another way I did it is
A base layer of brown. Let that dry for at lease an half an hour. Intill dry to the touch.

Then I mixed a little of brown, black and red on a sheet of paper. To go for a deep dark red. I got my brush dry brushed it on. Let that dry.

Then a super light brushing of a dark green.

The one on the right came out the best the one on the left needs a light more green.

That's it! Very easy way to get easy materials in any home store and craft store!
Hope You Liked It! This was also my first time at this and I loved it!
Any questions PM me or post in here.

Thanks!

I like how those turned out.

i really like this idea i have seen the latex hands version but they seem to take so long due to the many stages and this looks like a great alternative , i am going to try this method this week , excellent .

thank you these ones are going to be a ground breaker pair

Great job. It really looks like rotting flesh. And will be a lot cheaper than using latex.

Have you used this method with anything other than hands?

you can also use liquid nails and mold it I have used that and worked great..
