Ah, halloween. When once again on my witch-mother's birthday I shall walk among the living and feast upon their flesh and blood.

Alternatively I may just play video games.

Honestly I hadn't considered that option.

Halloween isn't widely "celebrated" in Australia, at least not in my part of town anway. A few of the neighbourhood kids come round looking for lollies but they always leave disapointed.
But me and my friends tend to use it as an excuse to watch horror movie marathons and get drunk. So yeah. It's got that going for it.

We had trick or treaters last year - they were about 17, knocked on my door on the 14th with one mask between them. No other attempt at a costume was made...
If you want sweets, I want to see some effort in the costume

Yeah, trick or treating has definitely fallen off around here. It's much more of a grown up holiday these days. And as much as I do enjoy the "sexy ______" style of costuming for women, I really do appreciate someone who puts some effort in.

Shaving the ol' facial hair is quite the barrier, I've had a fairly good Goblin King (Labyrinth) costume that I've been unwilling to commit to because of the shaving factor. Plus I owe it to all of my female friends to go in drag one of these years just to show 'em. Instead I go as beardly things to save the trouble.

Oh man I got to say this is my favorite holiday, I'm making three costumes for me and my friends.
I'm going to be a werewolf based on the concept from MtG's Innistrad:

my first friend is going to be going as a naga based on this fan art of the Aladdin TV series:

and my other friend wants to try out a bodysuit for her osciilot costume for LARPing and I figured that the Halloween party we're all going to would be a good chance to try it out without having to worry about having to fight. her costume is based on this art:


I'll see if I can take some more time out of working on them to actually take pictures of some WIP to show you.

never be that guy that shows up to a Halloween party naked and say you are a pornstar.

Don't be that guy.

No one will like you and will make everyone uncomfortable.

Glad I did not stay in a dorm at college for long.

wow there's actually a person who is the exact combination of shameless, lazy and stupid to do that? and I thought my dorm was rowdy.
anyways I said I'd show some work on the costumes I'm making and here they are:

here's the stilts I'm wearing for my werewolf costume, because a 5' 5" werewolf is not that scary.

and here's the bodysuit in the process of being covered with fur. the green stuff is upholstery foam that I use for a lot of my fabrication.

and here you can see the gloves where I glued part of my thumb to the palm to give the appearance of a dewclaw.

and here's my WIP mask that I made out of isolation foam and latex. to me the face looks too cute right now, so I'm going to really gnarly it up to add to the scare factor when it's done. I'll also be adding a fur cowl to the sides and back to blend the mask into the bodysuit.

and here's the beginnings of my friend's ocelot costume. basically until she gets some time to come over so I can get measurements on her head that's pretty much all I can do for her costume right now. the urithane foam I'm using for it sucks up latex like a sponge until you build up a skin on it, so I used what was left over after coating the mask to build up that skin so I would have enough that was the golden yellow color her main costume is going to be to coat her entire bodysuit. also I am very much aware that my dorm room is an absolute mess right now, but I never understood why some people insist on cleaning up before a project is finished. unless it's getting in the way there's no reason to waste time cleaning the same area that's just going to get dirty again as soon as you start up on the project again.

no progress on the Naga costume, I'm still waiting on that friend's measurements so I can make the cobra hood and tail.

Hey sorry to double post, but this thread is a small pinprick of light in this dark forum that seems to be preoccupied with the government shutdown and yelling at each other, and for that I think it deserves a bump.
anyways I've gotten some work done on my friend's naga costume now that I've got her measurements:

here's her cobra hood and part of her tail. basically it's Urethane foam with the hood being glued to the back of her bodysuit. to hide the zipper the insides of the hood will be beveled to create a cavity around the zipper that someone can reach their hand into and zip her in and out.

and here's the rest of the tail as it stands. you can see there's a part where the tail splits to let her feet out while she walks, and then when she sits down there will be a pair of stirrups in the bottom of the tail that she can slip her feet into and pull the tail closed, sealing it with industrial strength Velcro to give the appearance that she was actually slithering on a tail.
that's all I've got for now, but I'm going to be working on this latter today so expect more updates soon.

In my religion-Wicca-Samhain is my new year. It is an important time for me and there are several rituals that need to be performed on this day.

Still will not stop from scaring the crap out of the local kiddys though

From the depths... Arise!

Couldn't find the thread from this year, so in the spirit of the season, a little bit of threadomancy.

I have all week off, going to parties Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. Haunted house type deal on Sunday.
Having fallen out of love with A Song of Ice and Fire my Night's Watch costume has been rebuilt into a Knight Hospitaller.



I may need to think of a costume that isn't black on black on black at some point. Doesn't photograph great.

Anyways, anyone else have anything cool they are working on?

Probably wouldn't be "too" expensive to switch that black cloth for white, and go as a Knight Templar instead

Me?? I'm going as me... I may throw on some of my rugby stuff to escort my Minion and "Frozen" Princess kids trick or treating, just so I can claim I'm wearing something costumey

In mine every holiday is called Siv Day, and holidays can pop up whenever they feel like it, much like the Siv's themselves.

Probably a smart move... wouldn't want to be mistaken for a Klansman, even if it is costume day

1st November - The festival of 'Cleaning-all-the-disgusting-crap-off-your-front-door-because-you-weren't-home-all-day-yesterday'
