Halloween Costume - Slavic Burned Demon
This project depicts the Slavic spirit of mourning man, a tormented spirit, forever cursed to suffer for the sins he once committed in life.
All of the SFX makeup was built completely from the ground up. The concept began with an exploration of the appearance of burned, decomposing bodies. These studies were merged into a single disturbing yet cohesive design. Every prosthetic piece was hand-crafted — sculpted, molded, cast in silicone, painted with alcohol paints, and then applied personally by me. Ripped, burned skin and rotten blood in wounds were sculpted in 3rd degree silicone by hand directly on model. The transformation process for the whole body took about seven hours to complete, done entirely without assistance.
The costume was assembled from upcycled materials: secondhand rugs were dyed, burned, stitched together, and distressed to create a damp, time-worn look.
