Little Shop of Horrors Pod 1 Audrey II Puppet
This is the smallest iteration of Audrey II that I made in 2019 for a production of Little Shop of Horrors in Washington, DC. I have never really taken a class on mechanics, but I've taken some various workshops at puppet festivals over the years, and have talked to other puppet-making friends to get a basic understanding… -
2019 Halloween Costume Competition Entries - Will Disberry
Weyland Yutani Hadley's Hope Colonist This was my most recent creation. The concept was based around one of the colonists depicted in the extended cut of Aliens, who would have been fighting to survive during the xenomorph siege of Hadley's Hope. The shirt and trousers were purchased new and weathered to give the look of… -
The Nun, Valak - contest entry 3 - N.Brown
I wanted to include one of my earlier works in the submissions, before I started using platinum silicone. She is, like my earlier sculpts, made in nylon reinforced air drying clay, called Newclay, and Claydium (the top layers). The eyes are polymer and glass, with UV resin coat, and LED backlit. Hand sculpted by myself,… -
Scarecrow Nightmares
I am told that this Scarecrow costume that I designed and made myself is what nightmares are made of. (pictures and details below) MASK The mask was made using a simple plastic face mask as a base. I cut away the lower part of the mouth and created a hinged jaw so that I could open and close my mouth. I built up the brow,… -
Isaac Clarke - DEAD SPACE Level 3 Armored Suit
Hey everyone my name is Steven K Smith (aka SKS Props) and I would love to show you all my DEAD SPACE Level 3 armor set.

This costume was constructed out of resin, styrene, wonderflex, eva foam, faux leather, cloth, blood, tears, and super… -
Alien Art contest Entry
On and off for the past couple months I had been working on something relating to a alien species I was inspired to create for a space travel based RPG I've been involved in with friends for the past year. I've been calling them Reptars as a place holder. Essentially they are a species made up of a mix of rodent and… -
Re: Corpsing Techniques and Cheap Skeleton Suppliers in the UK
Thanks! Yeah, it can be very difficult to get properly scaled skulls and skeletons online. I ordered a "life size" skull from a manufacturer in China because it had amazing detail and was a hard plastic rather than the softer PVC a lot of these skulls are cast in. When it arrived I was shocked at how small it was. Could… -

Need Suggestions - Armature materials, for a large sculpture, capable of being easily cut/adjustable
Greetings, (Introduction - Skip to next paragraph for the context of this thread) I'd like to say hi! I am new here and am very interesting in taking a few of the web courses that are available here at the school. My project, it being my first one, has taken me 3 years of R&D, trial and error, and kicking and screaming to… -
Project of mechanical hand/arm prop.
Hello there, (My second post on the forums, yeepee !) *cough* I'm currently working as a multi-task-technician-artist on a post-apocalyptic webseries, and, within my domain of work, is also the costume/props design part of all. And so, as the project advances, we have to make more and more props, more and more techy things… -
All Masked Up
I am fairly happy with how this turned out, although I did not plan on it appearing quite so gory. This was my second time using Skin Tite Silicone; and just like the first time it was either too runny, or seized too quickly after putting my thickening agent in. If anyone has any tips I would love them! I tried using my… -
Re: Any tips to help get started in the industry?

Re: Which airbrush machine for a beginner?
Hi Lana, Shannon Shea provides an awesome mini video on this subject in the tutorials/video section - "THE GARAGE MONSTER'S GUIDE TO AIRBRUSHES - MINI-TUTORIAL" If you plan to throw pax or latex based paint - anything other than thin acrylic or very thinned enamel then the standard workhorse for thick media is the cost… -
Re: What's On Your Workbench? (Summer 2020)
Wow, so many amazing work benches!!! I am impressed, baffled, excited, and really glad I finally checked out the community pages instead of just following my whimsy through the courses and pathways... wow on so many levels y'all! my current project has been pipe guns... I started numbering them after I sold the 6th one,… -
Re: Draenei costume - material selection help?
Hi Ashley, Welcome to the school! Fantastic work on the costumes you posted, I really dig them. If the large head piece at the top is too big to bake for you, you could do it in an expanding urethane foam, which would also work for the tail. You also don't need the entire head piece to be solid foam, and could cast it… -
