  • ware could i get the supplies for this?

  • Comment removed

  • good mask and details +i subcribed

  • This has alot of detail u could sell these good job

  • Could this method work well with certain details say like scars and stuff?

  • And what did you use for the eyes for the last mask

  • What about the dreads?

  • this looks realy good

  • What you do, is mix a cup of latex, and any paint, then apply with a smaller detail brush, that way the color stretches with the mask.

  • 400th person to like!!!!!!!

  • Hey wut brand and type of liquid latex did u get

  • Where did u get the liquid latex

  • Why did you remove the alien one? I wanted to make an alien mask =(

  • @brandy619johns Both alien and predator are awsome but I like predator better =)

  • Thanks to this, I was able to do my Toxie mask! Thanks very much!!

  • Nice work

  • man you are a genious

  • Can you use any type of clay

  • Who wears short shorts?

  • How many layers of liquid latex did you put on this? I attempted something similar but it didn't hold the shape as well as yours did, and I'm thinking it may have been a lack of latex.

    But also, I couldn't get the same amount of detail as yours seemed to capture. How did you manage to do this?

  • your commentary made me feel like i was watching golf

  • Awesome!!! Just awesome. Think about it when he screams at Helloween when the kids say their sentence. One thing: All kids of his town R.I.P XD.

  • wow really good work!

  • great build man!

  • What was the Vaseline for?

  • This is fantastic!! You've provided me with some great inspiration. Thank you!

  • you might have gave someone an answer before but what type of clay, water base or oil base? you did a wicked good job i liked it :)

  • wow well good

  • I'm thinking I should just paint my face, make a special wig for the dread locks, and another part for the mouth and mandibles.

  • That mask came out really awesome. It looks better then the masks they sell at the shops. I really want to make one! I'm considering making this costume for halloween well the girl version.

    I'm having a hard time trying to figure out what kind of armor I would do lol Any suggestions? Thanks for the tutorial though and the instructions!

  • More than anything I would like to have some kind of Back-pack system with a battery and some speakers that stick out from the sides, that could play back some of the Predator sounds, so that when I pushed a button on the left forearm control panel, a mighty roar would come out that would make any cop within a 3 mile radius shit themselves.

  • u should make a mask shop man bcs that is awesome

  • Cool

  • Thank you so much for showing me how this is done. Do you have to buy a new fake head for each sculpt, or is the clay easily removed?

  • awesome job! you could sell them for a fair price. just a quick tip. latex shrinks over time, so when you do a sculpt it my pay of to make them a bit bigger. keep up the good work though!

  • your good mate takes stkill to do that shit

  • Would Liquid Latex Ben Nye work?

  • you shouldve wore it at the end

  • I was wondering what type of courses you had to take to learn this i want to go to college to do this but i don't know what this major would be called

  • how much clay was it in lbs

  • O_O Great job! You get a 10/10 from me...

  • That was cool.

  • Could i use this method to make an overhead latex mask? For example a michael myers mask??

  • very good, because you do not show the end result?

  • i cant even believe that you just used stuff from a craft store to make such a freaking awesome mask! i mean holy crap!!

  • its really hard to buy liquid latex huhuhuhu... can anyone help me where to buy it....

  • can u do a torso the same way

  • Awesome mask and I would like to ask tou where to get clay or liquid latex because I'm not that fond of using them...

  • @MrJohnnys619 ebay or a local crafts store

  • a really awesome job man =3

  • hey, i just bought about 30 bottles of Mold Builder, and i was reading the container and it said it contained Ammonia (100% to be exact), and that it was dangerous to use on skin, and now im highly disapointed, because This is the only stuff i can find, and i dont have enough time to order it online. All i want to know is if this stuff is dangerous to inhale or to use on skin.

  • @david500o9 Yeah, Mold Builder isn't for makeup use. More for crafts and jewelry. You'd look for mask-making latex. Check out the link in the description for a better guide if you're trying to follow along and actually make a mask yourself.

  • did you use a male head or female ?

  • Kudos, you're an inspiration.

  • why don't you make a face plate for your costume

  • can the mandibals move in and out

  • wow thats awsome.....

  • I wish you gave us some nice shots of the final product =(

  • what type of clay did u use?

  • Cool

  • hey man awesome job!

    can you sayme a tutorial about making a mask? and what kind of latex you used?

    I am portuguese so mi english isnt the best :D

  • good job

  • i never get tired of watching this lol

  • dude that wassssss awesome.... i should have done a how to for mine lol but your is better.

    /v/jSvEbrAwS

  • So if you make it thick enough can you make a FULL headed mask too?

  • Plus I saw your instructions and it said that for better detail, sponging the latex on would be a better way right?

  • Ammonia is a great brush cleaner when you have a brush that is stained with latex. Also, here is a FANTASTIC tip to help in creating textures in your clay (and if you use oil based clay, you don't need to keep wetting it). One of the most common textures one sees in skin are wrinkles. Lay plastic wrap over your clay build, and draw the desired wrinkles over the plastic, pressing into the clay with your sculpting tool. You will get a much more realistic looking wrinkle.

  • Im on layer 10 and it looks no where near the thickness it needs to be at T_T. Even at 15 I doubt itll be enough.

  • Wow. I mean WOW!

  • i kinda made the head bigger on mine to make it look like kevin peter halls predator a lil but R.I.P. kevin peter hall as the predator from the first 2 movies

  • Nice! you think i can use latex strips for the inner mask?

  • You spent 60 bucks on something that someone would pay hundreds for. And how well yours looks, dude, you could make a living!

  • hey dude, how much would you want for you to make me a mask of that?

  • Thanks so much, my son wants to be batman this year and I wanted to do everything from scratch and your video i awesome!

  • man im workin on mine, but urs is terrific!!!

  • very impressive 1 look at ur videos and i loved all ur costumes

    ps:how do u make the teeth answer asap

  • nice goin man good job! :D

  • does the helmet attach to the mask

  • how long did you spent to make his face?

  • there is one gay guy that he dont like your vid

  • very nice!

  • would the same process work for a full head mask? As in, would it be possible to peel the full head latex off, w/o rippage. Also, do u have any suggestions for making latex gloves. As in like for monster hands. My question is, could u just paint the latex onto the whole hand model, and peel it off without it ripping?

  • how much clay went in to this ?

  • Really impressive job, especially for the first time you've ever done something like this! A few suggestions for you and your viewers:

    *Latex sticks to itself like crazy. Before you peel it off, powder it with a lot of baby powder. Then powder the inside.

    *You can increase the clay's working time clay with water in a spray bottle Be sure not to spray it too often, you will turn your clay to mud. If you need to walk away from your sculpture, cover it with wet paper towels and a plastic bag.

  • @instantmonsters Good hints. Especially with that spray bottle. I might have to try that. I knew you could cover a sculpt in a wet bag, but didn't think that worked for air-dry clay. Awesome.

  • @alexthemoviegeek If it's water-based clay it should work. I've had to build whole body suits with the stuff, so it's important you keep the parts you're not working on from drying out. You can also seal the styrofoam head with several coats of crystal clear so that it can't absorb moisture out of your clay.

    By the way, I love how excited you are at 3:21. I saw that face in the mirror many times when I was starting out. Still see it from time to time now :)

  • @alexthemoviegeek hey exactly what kinda liquid late did you use?

  • @HelplessRomantic1 Liquid latex***

  • @alexthemoviegeek can you do one over venom or carnage

  • @skaterFORever11 Hell, that would freaking rock! Thanks for the idea, both those characters are underrated and deserve to have their own masks! I think I'm gonna do it...........

  • @creepsomber okay but when you do make a vid over it also the davy jones was awsome just the only thang about it was the coler of the mask

  • @alexthemoviegeek

    I'm interested in trying to make a mask following your directions online. What kind of plaster strips did you use? Thanks.

  • I use Amaco air-dry clay, found at most any craft store.

  • what clay did you use?

  • DUDE U ARE THE MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! UR FCCN AWESOME! LETS I HOPE I CAN MAKE MINES BEFORE HALLOWEEN GETS HERE =)

  • what clay do  you use?

  • Where can you get air dry clay for 4$, and where to buy plaster strips?

  • you know you know you know sick vid man u got a subber

  • not bad good man good

  • im makin my whole armor out of mainly duct tape and cardboard

  • how much did just the mask cost

  • where did you get the white head?

  • lol with coupon?

  • hi i made the predator mask in your video but it went wrong cause the clay would not stick to the head and when i put the latex on it i would not go in by the mandables completely i will try again soon but i have a feeling it will go wrong again have any advice?

  • wat did u do tothe chin before u put on the clay

  • how to wash the brush after you use the the liquid latex

  • @CustomFig To keep the brush clean, it's good to dip it in some dishwashing soap before using it, helps the latex to not stick as much. If there's a lot stuck in the bristles, you might just have to throw away that brush, or you can try to cut some of it out and wash it out.

  • @alexthemoviegeek you should warm us.

  • wat type of clay did u use

  • Can you send me this file

  • Predator EATS aliens for breakfast!

  • awesome

  • how did u make the thing on top of his head?

  • did your bio mask actually fit over the predator head?

  • if you put on transcribe audio at one part it say '' the riges you know think young girls like that''

  • TOTALLY amazing. I am obsessed physically with the creature and have been working on a concept for a female. I am very confident after seeing this with actually creating the costume...THANK YOU...and you rock

  • TOTALLY amazing. I am obsessed physically with the creature and have been working on a concept for a female. I am very confident after seeing this with actually creating the costume...THANK YOU...and you rock

  • Could you please tell me what was the stuff you rubbed on the mask before you put the liquid latex on it?

  • @MrGalaxyPictures It was vaseline. 

  • @MrGalaxyPictures i think thats water but im not sure

  • why didn't you wear the bio helmet?

  • wtf did u put you that manniquen face

  • you my friend are an artist

  • looks realy cool but its realy small

  • @Alexthemoviegeek thanks man. :)

  • Hey I was wondering what exact brand/type of liquid latex you used, I looked on eBay but I don't know what is good and what will work.

  • @Gloxy2300 The listing will probably say that it would be latex used for mask making. Search for "liquid latex mask".

  • @Leon8108 I made it with some aluminum foil, then attached it with duct tape. Just to give the bigger shape. I could have done the it with clay, but this helps reduce the amount of clay needed.

  • @alexthemoviegeek ok. but i just tried making one out of air dry clay, and i didnt really get a very good outcome. it was bumpy from finger prints and stuff.

  • yes plz!

  • make 1 4 me well the face and mask send to 3225 west 149 court broomfield colorado

  • Can you make the predator mask then send it 2 me plz plz send to 3225 west 149 ct broomfield colorado plz!

  • @alexthemoviegeek thanks dude

  • Say you wanted the mouth to move. ( I am a noob) How would you position the mouth for the clay sculpture?

  • @Leon8108 If by "mouth" you simply mean the lower jaw, you'd try to sculpt it closed, and then latex should stretch enough to let it open. If by "mouth" you mean making the mandibles move, then that's a whole other issue. You'd have to get creative with it.

  • @alexthemoviegeek Like the grusderk one, how the jaws spread apart.
