Durrr... It's getting there!
I keep taking on projects that require sculpting.... yet I keep forgetting I'm not as good of a sculptor as I think I am T_T
On the plus side, scar's head has a lot of angles, so it's more blocky and less subtly shaped.

Scar Lion King Musical
OMG yes... I'm making Scar for the Lion King Musical.... because.... I guess because I'm a little crazy.
Started on the Uni painting today, and painted the shoes:
I admit, I'm really enamored with Scar.... I don't know why, but I've been desperate to make him since I saw the musical. Buy god, I'll do it! 0_o

Female Anubis
Anubis!
I just can't get enough stretch velvet!
This was a test costume to try out my Vacuum form machine for head bases. The head was vacuum formed out of a sheet of ABS plastic and covered with stretch velvet.
annnd a video:

Komickrazi.... Now with more Youtube!
I finally figured out my video settings on my new camera. I figured it was time I joined the youtube age!
I don't know what I'll be doing with my channel... probably posting videos of costumes and maybe some tutorials or something.
Anywho... here's me catting around in My Swedish Tantomile:

District 9 Bunraku... Legs
Christopher Johnson now has legs!
The legs (believe it or not!) are pool noodles. I carved them into the shape I wanted, then layered several coats of latex and modpodge to them. Once they were the thickness/texture I wanted, I pieced them together with sections of PVC tubing and metal hinges.
I cut two holes into his hips and added more PVC tubing. Elastic was threaded through the two pipes, then through the legs, so they could move in all directions (while still remaining fixed to the hips themselves.
Although the feet still need to be added, the legs sure help him look more substantial than just a torso.

District 9 Bunraku.... Harness
Sorry for the lack of updates, aside from work (which limits the amount of time I have to devote to this guy)... a lot of the process of cleaning the seams after removing the torso from the cast is slow; a little bit of work on the seams... fill some gaps with latex... wait for a day or two for latex to cure... do a little bit more work.
So! I now have a torso. The inside is filled with expanding foam (there are sections I hollowed out, as I noticed even with light foam, he is still pretty heavy). PVC tubing was inserted in key points in his back, his which were then attached to a harness.
The harness itself has an acrylic sheet for a base, then wrapped in the backing of a backpack I dismantled. I chose the backpack material since it has nice airflow and a little bit of padding... it should keep me from getting too sweaty, but stay comfortable. Right now the shoulder part of the harness is a little high, so I have a lot of weight pressing on my upper shoulders/neck area. I may move these shoulder straps lower so they rest on my shoulderblades. I'll give him a few more test runs to find the best location to distribute his weight.
