Description
My first costume type thing, it's been a WIP for a pretty long time.Β I thought I'd upload a pic of it's current state for a little motivation. The hoodie isn't a part of the final design, I promise!

I don't think so, this is definitely more of a hobby type thing.

Can you give a description of how you made it? I've been thinking about attempting to make one.

I can give you a short description atm, let me know if you need any more help.
Β I sculpted the entire top of the head (minus horns and eyes) in a water based clay and made a mold of it in silicone and then made a mother mold out of plaster on top of that.
Once that was all completed I brushed some liquid plastic compound into the mold, it took a few layers ( www.smooth-on.com/Urethane-Pla⦠was what it was I believe). After that had dried I just popped it out and added the eyes (clear casting resin cast in a cheap artists pallet, with the eye design printed on glossy paper behind it) and used an epoxy putty compound ( www.smooth-on.com/Epoxy-Putty-⦠) for any mistakes/additions I needed to make, such as the horns (which had a base of aluminum foil with the putty laid over it).
The bottom jaw was cast the same way as the top of the head, I had planned on making it movable but ended up attaching it with epoxy putty.
Then I painted it all with various spray paints/acrylic paints.

Incredible! Have you ever considered any kind of... money-earning-through-selling-of-something-from-this-process?

That's a good idea! It might be a little late in the process for this one, but I'll definitely give it a go on the next project (I'm thinking male quarian)
