Description Best. Halloween. EVER. >8D

The night hadn't even begun and I unintentionally scared the crap out of two girls. >:}

It has a moving jaw which you can see here(it's one of my dad's "Observations")-> [link]
Here's another-> [link]

The mask was made with plaster cast, paperclay, translucent sculptey(for the teeth), foam paper(tongue), elastic, wire, wire mesh, hard green flower/gardening foam(for the insides of the horns), a store bought wig, and a bag of pennies.
Yes...a bag of pennies. Just because the mask was too front heavy. >:[

Spackle is your best friend for making things smooth.
It's easy to apply and sand. Waaay better than paperclay. c:

TheGrinDragon In reply to wolven-uria [2013-01-08 05:51:18 +0000 UTC]

They took a while to make but this is how I did it:
The part that actually wraps around my fingers is made from either toweling or toilet paper rolls cut to fit my fingers(they go up to the second knuckle and have a little notch cut out so I can bend my fingers better). Then I got some strong wire and hot glued it to the rolls. To bulk up the claws I used Crayola Model Magic and hot glued those to the wires. Then I covered them with Paperclay to make them sturdy, and then sanded them. I then sprayed the claws with tool dip(although it would've been better to get the "dipping" kind. spray is sort of a waste). Then I got some fingerless work gloves and glued the claws on.

This is so cool Might I ask how you made the claws/fingers? I've been throwing around a costume idea that has that type of claws, but I haven't been able to come up with a good way to go about making them. Any advice would be very much apreciated
