This is my completely handmade Halloween costume; the Martian Ambassador.

I started with a clay sculpt (with 3d printed eyes and ears) over a lifecast of my own head...

...molded this in a 3-part fibreglass shell...

... created a latex skin with fabric edges and a medium density foam lining for support...

... made the 3d-printed ear discs in a cold cast aluminium from a silicone mold...

... painted and coated the 3d-printed eyes before adding them to the mask (making sure I could see through the eye holes)...

... painted the whole mask in layers of acrylic tinted latex...

... 3d printed and hand finished a laser pistol...

... also 3d printed some custom articulated finger extensions...

... and finally made the patterns for the fabric costume and constructed the whole thing.
