Witch King from Shadow of War
Hi Stan Winston Community :) ! This was one of the most stressful projects I’ve ever worked on. I know in real life there are deadlines. I gave myself 2 months to work on this with Oct 31st being the deadline. My previous project the windigo creature took about 8 months to work on. I wasn’t working on it constantly, but I… -

Good old zombie / Billy the puppet
I had done a zombie look before and thought it came out pretty good so I decided to recreate it with a twist. I don't have any training on FX makeup yet but I have gotten some help and inspiration from watching YouTube videos, mainly the Glam&Gore channel. I decided to include Billy the puppet here as well because it is… -

Workshop Floorplan
Hello everyone, I am about to acquire a new property and it will include a 24'x40' shop. It's 12' tall with 2 roll up doors, so I will have plenty of room for an incredible workspace. I currently am working out of a 8.5'x 8.5' room, so I will be increasing my area substantially. I have grown to love my small space because… -
Yennefer of Vengerberg (The Witcher 3)
This costume was one of the few designs I wanted to do close to the original. Since The Witcher has a medieval-like setting I wanted to include the rustic design elements like bigger hand stitches. But to keep it suitable for a powerful and vain sorceress like Yen I I went with rather expensive material. All was made from… -

Types of Clingwrap to use.
Hi Folks. I did a test try of making my own dummy. I'll put up pictures of version 2. What I found was Don't use kitchen style clingwrap. 1. It's too flimsy 2. It does not easily bond to itself. Moisture etc will cause it to unstick and that includes sweat. 3. After the layer is cut from the human the clingwrap will start… -

Harry was an enforcer for the Crepuscular Chamber all his life. Hired muscle. No job was too dirty or unscrupulous for Harry. Not the most fearless, or intellectual member of the organisation, in fact, if his character was to appear in movie credits, it would be as ‘Thug #3’. Harry has lived in an aged care facility for… -

Re: Air brush or spray gun for spraying pros-aide?
Hey Ella, At our shop, we've been using these Harbor Freight external mix airbrushes for lots of sticky and difficult to clean liquids, including prosaide. Since the product never goes thru the airbrush, we don't have to take anything apart and clean it, like an internal mix gun. You may need to kick up your compressor a… -
