Necromorph from Dead Space

Chi kit Wan — Thu, 02 Nov 2023 06:58:36 +0000

Hello, This is Wilfred from Hong Kong. My Necromorph's concept is from the video game call "Dead Space" with some other designs by myself. In the game, the character is quite skinny. However, I have to wear it on myself so I have to build the body part bigger to fit me inside. I am so glad I can finish it before the halloween day and having so much fun with people on the Halloween night.

The Blade part is made by EVA foam and latex and the monster teeth is made by tin foil and casting urethane.

The head is sculpted by zbrush and casting in silicone with a 3d print mold.

The palms are sculpt by NSP medium. all the others are sculpt by water base clay.

The Head/Body/Hand/Leg parts are casting by silicone. Those muscle around the mouth are made by platselgel 00 in free hand.

HELLO HUMANS!

Its been a while since I last posted on here but I just wanted to share my custom KILLER KLOWNS FROM OUTER SPACE Costumes for this years Halloween! My girlfriend and I created these masks out of latex, poly foam, and epoxy gloss. Sculpted out of WED clay, molded in fiberglass the masks took us a little over 3 weeks to complete. Painted using skin illustrator pallets and a mixture of rubber acrylic paint, the spit was a mix of glossy Mod Podge and red food coloring. Please leave me a comment and let me know how we did!

"Smokey" a ghostbusters inspired Halloween costume

Shane Stover — Fri, 03 Nov 2023 05:20:34 +0000

This year my family and I decided on a ghostbusters theme for our Halloween costumes. For my costume, I wanted to create something that could live in the "ghostbusters" universe, but that was original in design. I call him "Smokey". I designed and built a full head silicone mask, with a light up head, and fog machine. The mask had a rigid underskull that supported the silicone skin, and house the led's that lit the head. I also made a fat suit and silicone hands to fill out the look. I referenced a bunch of the Stan Winston School tutorials including Dawn Dininger's fat suit, Ted Haines muscle suit, the immortal team's molding and casting, Chris Grossnickle's silicone patching, and Tim Gore and Jamie Grove's silicone painting videos. They were an immense help and I couldn't have made it with out these incredible lessons. Here are some final pics, as well as some in progress shots of the build. Hope you enjoy.

Transformed myself into my cat

I used my cat's fur pattern in this mask that took 16 hours of hair laying alone.

An American Werewolf in London

Josephine Tam — Fri, 27 Oct 2023 20:49:31 +0000

The top pic is silicone [Smooth On dragon skin] and the bottom 2 are foam latex [Kryolan cold foam]. I sculpted, painted, and applied the prosthetic. Costuming was modified by me. Modeled by my friend.

Jack Pumpkinhead

robdeperla — Wed, 01 Nov 2023 19:41:59 +0000

My Halloween costume was Jack Pumpkinhead created by Frank Baum and brought to life by Brain Henson and Stewart Larange in the film Return to Oz.

The head was created from a polystyrene hollow sphere. The eyes, nose and mouth were cut out using a hotwire cutter. To get the pumpkin texture, I carved lines into the polystyrene surface, then sanded the edges to get a smooth finish and the right look of a pumpkin.
The surface of the polystyrene was painted with Rosco foamcoat, so I could spray paint the polystyrene without damaging it. I used two shades of orange to get the right blend of colour. I finished by adding some black, brown pastel to dirty it down and applied a final mist of orange spray paint to blend it all back together.
The inner surface edge of the eyes, nose and mouth had a mix of peach and yellow pastel applied to get the look of the inside of the pumpkin.
The eyes, mouth and nose were covered from the inside with tight (Hosiery) material so no one could see in but I could see out.
I also cut a hole in the bottom to get my head through and a hole at the top. The polystyrene cut out from the top, had some expanding foam sprayed to it so I could carve/sculpt the stalk back into it. The top piece was painted like the pumpkin and then glued back into place at the top.
The inside of the head had a strip of aluminium glued all away round the head. This held and secured two metal rods which held a plastic head harness (Same as a hard helmet). This meant it was very easy to wear and stayed on my head very securely.

The wooden arms were created from EVA foam. I cut a rectangle of foam, rolled it around, stuck it with UHU glue to get a branch like shape, I then used a Dremel multitool with a carving tool to carve in the lines to make it look like wood/bark texture. I then coated the foam with the same foam coat and sprayed them dark brown. The fingers were cut from a length of EVA foam rod, sculpted and stuck on with UHU glue, coated and sprayed as above.

The clothes were items bought from charity shops and modified. The waistcoat was a jacket which I cut the arms off and then sewed up any openings. I had to draw on the polka dots to the pink shirt with fabric paint pens and fill in with a thicker white paint pen.
I then added some fabric patches to the waist coat and purple trousers to try and match the original costume/character.

Bizet - Human/Sheep Hybrid

Anna Arrobas — Mon, 30 Oct 2023 04:17:44 +0000

"I am Bizet, half-sheep half-human. I escaped from a laboratory where scientists breed new species of mammals in order to become slaves and/or food for the human master race. I was destined to an existence of pain and misery and managed only a week ago to find a way out of the underground labs I was born in. Never before had I seen the sun, nor nature and all the life it beholds. Since I left the facility, my wool has begun to grow again, my hooves are small and dirty from all the mud I've walked through in order to free myself. I'm not strong but I aim to help with the scientific and medical knowledge I've witnessed and learned since I was born, 3 years ago in human years (I am way older in sheep years). My goal is to help others emancipate themselves, I care for them the same way as I would have liked that someone care for me when I was in my cage." - Bizet

Hello, my name is Anna from Montreal and this is a character from a text-based horror RPG that I created. The description above was written by Morgan Ali El-Tiby when he joined the game and I was inspired to bring the concept to life visually. I decided that I would become Bizet for Halloween this year since I recently started learning how to do SFX! I sculpted the face and ears which are made of silicone and I painted them, and added fur. The costume was also made by me, I thrifted most of it and then I stained/distressed and styled the whole thing myself.

Here are some photos, more info about how I created the pieces below:

First I sculpted the sheep's face onto my head using monster clay. I wanted Bizet to look like a sad creature so I put a lot of emotion into the brows.

After my sculpt was finished I put Vaseline all over the exposed stone and made the other side of my mold using Ultracal-30.

After airbrushing some layers of cap plastic into my mold it was time to pour the silicone (ecoflex 00-30)! This was my first-ever attempt at making a prosthetic appliance and I made more than a few mistakes, the biggest one being I didn't put any pressure on my head/mold. This left me with a piece that had a thin layer of silicone where I wanted there to be only a thin layer of cap plastic.

Since I wasn't happy with it I decided I would cut it out and use it as a practice piece since it was my first time doing all of this, I also started sculpting my ears.

I tried to make a new one, this time I used ratchet straps and weights on the back of my mold to try and create as much pressure as possible. Unfortunately, it didn't work and my piece came out with the same issue as my "test". I think if I had made a snap mold or used keys to make sure my positives and negatives were perfectly aligned I would have had better luck. I was running out of time so I had to accept this was going to be my final piece. I started painting it with a layer of pax paint, it was way too opaque but I had no time to start over. I went over it afterward with some alcohol paints.

Then I started laying the crepe wool using pros-aide and I gave it a haircut, my plan was to hide my paint job and thick edges with some wispy hairs.

I trifted some pieces of beige clothing and dyed them with tea bags. I used watercolor paint to try and make them look rust-stained.

I made this cute bow out of a lace handkerchief, to make it hold its shape I sprayed it with a mixture of hot water and cornstarch.

In the end, I'm so happy with how it all came together! Thanks for reading and I hope that although Bizet is a strange experiment, there is a place for her in your heart.

Regan MacNeil - The Exorcist 1973

Maria Dixon — Wed, 01 Nov 2023 20:49:20 +0000

Hello! My name is Ashley Comstock and I am currently in makeup and FX school in Florida, I decided to choose Regan from the original exorcist movie to do a cosplay of. (This was my first complete attempt from concept to application for silicone appliances!)

First I took a life cast of my model's face, made my positive and negative molds of that, made a snap mold for the nose, and began sculpting!

I mixed up and poured the silicone appliances, attempting to tint the silicone to a close match to my model's natural skin tone.

I made three silicone prosthetic pieces, the nose, the eyebrows, and the right cheek appliance. My model's nose was more pointy and as Regans is more round I decided to give my model a slightly rounder nose and included the nose cut as well. I made a silicone prosthetic eyebrow piece to cover the brows more seamlessly, rather than gluing down the brows and trying the hide the hair with powder and paint, as well as give that original Rick Baker look with the pronounced brow and sunken eyes. There are five cuts on the silicone cheek appliance which I made look a little infected with Skin Illustrator paints and blood fx.

I bought the wig and dress online, for the wig I layered hairspray and a water and glycerin mixture to make the hair look oily and look like she had not showered for days/weeks. I even took some of the leftover silicone rolled it into little balls and stuck those in the hair to make it look like there were chunks of vomit in her hair! For the dress, I stained it in a coffee mixture overnight, then went in with airbrush paints on the dress to make even harsher stains in the armpits, around the seams, I sand-papered the white lace to make it look like it had been worn and washed several times. I also bought green contacts.

I utilized alcohol paints and airbrush paints to help with a consistent color match between the model's skin and the silicone prosthetics. I used eyeshadow around the eyes, nose, and undereyes to make her look more demonic/sickly. I used the airbrush paints to do some veining around the face, neck, hands/arms. I also made the cut on the forehead with 3rd degree as well. For finishing touches I airbrushed the hands and nails, made her lips look extra chapped and gnarly, used tobacco and green tooth stain, applied some scab blood, and spread on pea soup to look like vomit on the dress and around the mouth (as was utilized in the original film!).

I also made a vomiting apparatus, with clear tubing and a vacuum pump!

Of course, the original makeup for this character was done by Dick Smith!

Battle Ready Medusa

Jacob Jackson — Thu, 02 Nov 2023 21:36:24 +0000

I sculpted this makeup with Chavant NSP. It includes a cowl, forehead, chin and left and right cheek piece. The appliances were made with Monster Maker foam latex. I painted them with a combination of MEL PAX and Skin Illustrator alcohol paints. I also sculpted the created the fangs. I fabricated the armor out of anti-fatigue foam and painted with a variety of paints.

Faun - Pan's Labyrinth

Jonathan R Brito — Tue, 17 Oct 2023 01:36:22 +0000

Hey Guys, Greetings from Brazil!!

I'm a cosplayer for more than 10 years and always loved Guillermo Del Toro's work, the Faun was a "Cosplan" for a really really long time, and recently i felt like i had enough skills gathered through the years to build this with very very limited resources, hope you like the process

(A LOT OF PICTURES)

1- The Head

I Think the head is the most Important part of the entire suit, because is what's "sell" the character do i decided to make a facecast and sculpt to make sure the face will fit in my own. also build a "Skull" with foam to sculpt on that and the horns also with foam. the face was Cast in liquid latex and attatched to the skull.

2- The Torso

The torso was build with a combination of Spandex, Foam, 3D paint and Liquid latex, i have to redesign several times to make sure that the proportions was okay

3- The Hands

The hands are a little tricky, because the format and the movement, so i decided to build the back on foam and the palm with latex

4-The Legs

The legs definitely was the most dificult part to figure out, the thinking of "oh... how i'm gonna do that.....?"... i studied A LOT of ways to do that cause i didn't want to do like the original shooting of the movie, cause Doug Jones's legs are visible... so i decided to do the way around, build fake Thighs and use my own shins, so my legs will be a little more hidden.
As the rest of the suit, this one was made with foam and latex.

5- The Final Costume

It was a long way until here but i am very proud of what i did, i still had to do a nice photoshoot in locations, but i hope you guys like the way everything turned out!

And as a little extra... I'm so happy that Guillermo Del Toro itself noticed me

The Joker

Nicholas Hernandez — Wed, 01 Nov 2023 16:30:22 +0000

This is a costume(s) I Started in early September and have been wanting to do for a while now. I figured this year was the year to get it done. The Joker Costume is the one I am submitting to the contest and just want to show off the others with it as they're from the same universe.

The Joker: I Based my design off of various concept arts and comics because I wanted to create something with a darker tone and still stay true to the original/classic look of his--same for the other costumes. I designed and made the tailcoat, vest, bow tie, and white spats myself while the dress shirt and pants were thrifted. The inspiration for the makeup is based on Westley Burt's concept art (shown below in black and white) so I tried my best to recreate the scarring around the mouth with scar wax. All the props shown were also made by me and inspired by concept art from various videogames ( Arkham Origins/Knight).

Harley Quinn: This costume I made entirely myself and am most proud of how it turned out, however it was unfortunately unable to be worn so I could not create another entry for it, so I am just adding it here as something extra to look at. The design is based on the classic look from the Arkham Knight game except I put my own twist by turning it into a long dress with modified canvas high top shoes to go with it.

The Penguin: This costume was put together from already existing parts instead of being made as it was a very last minute decision, It is made up of an already owned coat, vest, umbrella, hat, and a thrifted shirt, shoes, and pants. The design is based on various comic appearances as well to keep it classic looking.

Texas Twang — Wed, 01 Nov 2023 21:27:21 +0000

I made this costume using a bald cap, electric blue paint, foam to make the fin, red paint, and silicone putty for the scars. Found a jacket and leather pants and biker boots to complete the look.

Howl’s moving castle (family costume)

Walkinglegendstudios — Thu, 02 Nov 2023 06:58:53 +0000

9 months ago, My wife and I had our first baby together. We’re manned her Sophia, and of course this Halloween, we HAD to dress her up as her heroine’s names sake from the anime movie Howl’s moving Castle.

So I got to do a costume I’d been hoping to do for a while. I made and crafted turnip head out of foam and fabric, and then thrifted most of the rest. I could see Very well through the teeth mesh and had a wonderful time hoping around in character.

I also made my wife a 3D printed shovel with small fan and light inside to make Calcifer for her (gender swap) Howl costume. Most of hers was admittedly sourced because it was more economical with my time to focus on the other elements. But I am very proud of Calcifer.

Lastly, we had a friend join us as our third wheel, when Sophie went down for bed, as Markl. I made him a cloak with a beard hidden in the hood so that he could “practice his magic” with us at the Halloween party. Over all we made a good team and looked great together.

Mermaid

Sahlah Tepes — Thu, 02 Nov 2023 16:10:18 +0000

I would like to say thank you to SWSCA for making education possible to people like me who live in places where schools like this don't exist and an education otherwise wouldn't be possible. I never dreamed my skills would take me where they have, really started this out of curiosity of how it's done lol, but I couldn't be happier with the path these skills have put me on and SWSCA has been instrumental in that... THANK YOU...

Winifred

Derek Thompson — Thu, 02 Nov 2023 20:02:24 +0000

My wife is the embodiment of Winifred Sanderson. At Halloween she dons her hand made lace front wig. she styled/sculpted the wig on her own from reference. she had the prosthetic front teeth and all her make up is done by her. At Disney they thought she was a walk around and kept asking her to take pictures.

Handmade werewolf

Cedar Knieriemen — Thu, 02 Nov 2023 18:17:07 +0000

I made this werewolf for halloween!
The face and ears were sculpted in Monster Clay, and cast in resin. I painted it with acrylics, and the eyes are made of glass I also painted. The fur is sewn on, and you can see from the corners of the eyes, and through the nostrils. The hands are gloves with foam glued on, and then coated in latex, which I painted with a mix of oil paint and rubber cement. Shoutout to my friend who took the party photos, and my friend that I also posed with!

Rocket racoon.

Derek Thompson — Thu, 02 Nov 2023 20:16:44 +0000

at the last minute my son dropped the bomb on me that he also wanted to go as Rocket Racoon. So I patterned the head with masking tape and hand sewed all the pieces together. the tongue is carved reticulated foam. The under skull was a cheap wolf mask from Spirit that I ripped all the fur off of. The nice part is he had an articulated jaw so he could speak. Thanks to teachers like BJ Guyer and Ted Haines who taught me how to pattern. And of course the amazing class by Deborah Galvez! she taught me so much about how to work with Fur. Thank god for Persona Blades.

Freddy Krueger

macattack543 — Wed, 01 Nov 2023 17:03:59 +0000

My original make-up and costume transformation for Freddy Krueger! I’ve always wanted to do the Horror Icons and this year I did them - more insta @macattack543. Here are several shots of the final product. I drew each red burn mark first, outlined with highlights, covered with glitter to add a fresh from the fire sparkle and shine, then did a simple black eye so they stood out a bit more. I, also, put together my own version of his costume with sparkled slash marks, gecko broach, Varsity initials, gem sparkled Hat - as if he’s freshly out of the fires of H-E-double hockey sticks with a bit of glamour. And of course, the Elm Street street sign, that Freddy ripped out the post and carries it with him in your Nightmares. During the pandemic, I did one make-up design a day for over two months, and have continued to do so over the past few years - more on my insta and TikTok @macattack543!

My version of HellRaiser's PinHead in Hell Paso, TX

PuppetMaster — Fri, 03 Nov 2023 03:25:21 +0000

This is me as my version of the PinHead character from the HellRaiser movies. I do not own any rights to anything in the HellRaiser movies or franchise. *I own my creation of my costume (the work of my hands) inspired by the HellRaiser movies & my entry into this 2023 Halloween Costume Contest to depict my costume.

I made this costume myself and this is the work of only my hands. I also did my own Special FX makeup. I was able to create this look using a bald cap, 2 different sized needles for puncturing holes into the bald cap, some Q-tips, a tealight candle, silver spray paint, some liquid latex, and various types of makeup such as eyeliners, lip liners, eye shadows, foundation, face powder, and fake sfx blood. I carefully and meticulously put this costume together and the bald cap is what took me the longest to complete as it was the most time consuming; I have a ton of long straight thick hair so it was not an easy task; I french braided my hair & pinned the braids as close to my scalp as possible before application of the bald cap. I then blended the bald cap into my skin with liquid latex and makeup.

The Fog Pirates

Tim Sedillo — Fri, 03 Nov 2023 02:17:14 +0000

This is our take on John Carpenter's The Fog. We did these builds using the same techniques from Patrick Magee class on creating a mask.

Here is the sculpture of the epoxy puddy. We used Smothons Free Form Air.

Here is what they looked like after a lot of latex and paint later

Here are some photos with our UV contacts for our Halloween display.

Man with the Yellow Hat and Curious George

mono feo — Fri, 03 Nov 2023 01:19:17 +0000

The costume for the Man with the Yellow Hat started out from thrifting white clothes and spray painting them yellow in order to keep the color consistent. The hat was made from wire and wrapped in cheesecloth covered with paper-mache. The mask was also made from cheesecloth and fabric with paper-mache added on top. The nose was made from aluminum foil. Curious George began as a wire skeleton with spray foam being carved away to create the monkey form. The head was made from aluminum foil. Fabric and paper-mache cover the majority of the body.

Nemesis

GROOL7777777 — Fri, 03 Nov 2023 00:25:40 +0000

This is my Nemesis I built completely from scratch. Built a muscle suit, sculpted molded and painted the mask, skin, wounds, and sewed the entire smock. Hope everyone likes it!

Dream’s Helm

Brian Heinzman — Thu, 02 Nov 2023 22:39:24 +0000

For 2023 I wanted to create my own version of Dream’s Helm from the Sandman comics by Neil Gaiman. Since Dream is a forever shifting personification of the unconscious I didn’t want to do an exact reproduction of other Helms out in the world. Keeping to the core silhouette I picked and borrowed elements from my favorite versions but also added my own flair. I designed the Helm digitally between Rhino 3D and Nomad Sculpt. I 3D printed the helmet in 16 parts, assembled and hand painted the helmet. The lenses I vacuum formed PETG off of 3D printed bucks and dyed them black. The spine tube is articulated and the helmet separates into two parts to fit on.

The Thing

DerpLo — Thu, 02 Nov 2023 23:33:11 +0000

For my contest entry, I crafted the creature from the thing bursting out of my chest using a unique combination of materials and techniques. I began with a foundation of tin foil and wire, carefully layering and sculpting with air-dry clay. To breathe life into this eerie creation, I employed a variety of mediums, including various paints, shellac, and hot glue. To add those essential finishing touches, I incorporated FX blood and doll hair. I'd like to give a special shout-out to my wife, who sacrificed a bra to assist in creating the inner mechanism that held everything stable.
