TMG - Davy Jones Costume

[robin56]

great solutions! TY for showing that. Preditor???

[jeroenhardcore]

you're not a geek when you make awesome costumes, you just got alot of free time i guess

[goldeng]

Awesome artwork you got there man! You're very talented. You should work as a costume designer for films! I would pay you for making me a Davy Jones costume like this! :))) Of course I would add some colors to the mask as you mentioned that was missing. But anyway big like! :) Keep up the good work.

[HIPHOPAROO321]

what type of clay is dat

[naimyazici1]

cool costom

[Galendramatik]

How long did it take?

[EosHilaris]

@Galendramatik The video said about two and a half weeks...

[LordLastDay]

That's surprisingly cool...

[hdgdtrdggd]

wow awsome work

[elenamatilda]

wow very good costume ! :) i want one !

[SuperRSWalkthrough]

It hurts (me) this video doesn't really have a lot of views

[KrashKrazyKash]

Dude, you were MOST worried about the HAT? DAMN, you must have really good confidence in yourself. I mean, you were worried most about a hat, that you can buy, and alter, but you made a mask of Davy from scratch.. Dude, that is awesome, and I would LOVE to have that talent, or just the costume, (If you decide you want to do another) Haha,, Dude, you are talented. Love it..

[ladder49isthebest1]

to make the mask coloring better do a moderately thin coat of dark green and a hint of grey to the sides and a very light coat of both green and grey on the face that should work

how did you make the belt buckle? can you make a tutorial please?

[TheShippudenDeidara1]

You're very skilled with your hands i give you that.

[MiguelPatel]

Great job!!!. Specially the mask.

[90260]

you are a great artist my friend, i am not an artist but i can sense if you go the distance all the way to the irritating details you are in for another level of greatness and (don't think about the cost its keeping you behind) i enjoyed this Video allot. good luck

[takadox80]

[CroweDharma]

Awesome 0.0

[FutureBereaAlumn]

Is there a recipe for the resin you use or what kind do you buy?

[FutureBereaAlumn]

I think if you mix the yellow with grey and/or a peachy skin color, it would get the squid-like color better. i suggest experimenting with small ammounts, but i guess you know that. You're a genius! i'v been wanting to do some stuff and now I know how to do most of the stuff i want to do. One queston, How would you make a costume (of a headless person, such as the Headless Spectre from Scooby-Doo) and still be able to see, head inside the costume and everything?

[LadyGaGaElin]

you are sooooooo cute!!! <333

[sarahdoodles]

This looks great considering the budget! I hear these things could get expensive. The only thing I wish you would have done would have been to add some shading to the mask itself. Just a little shadowing and colour would have jumped this up to a whole other level.

[MsSnjaVi]

Wow! This is amazing! :D

[SunQuadrant]

Holy bleep!!! I LOVE YOUR BRAIN! You are BRILLIANT!

"and I thought...hey, these look a lot like cheerios." Best thing I've ever heard!

Serious talent! <3

[reldanhc2580]

the only thing i dont like about this is how yellow the skin, still FREAKING AWESOME THOUGH!!!

[strydis]

AWESOME!

[Hyperspazzman]

I do have 2 questions for ya.

Question 1: Once you made your sculpture could you slice them in pieces and then latex the individual pieces? This is incase you wanted to form fit these pieces to the actors face using something like spirit gum and then color it in then or color them ahead of time using acrylic paints??

Question 2: once you make your sculpture, could you use the caster bandages to make your duplicate. Then paint your mask on the inside with latex or would that b a waste of time?

[Hyperspazzman]

First, you do a great job man! I do sfx makeup for independent films. I have worked with latex and foam latex for awhile, but recently thought about trying it the way you do it. Simply because not enough room where I am at and I can't get too mess here. Not enough space. So for now this is the method I think would be great.

[amimie]

I love you. *SUBBED*

[Toriceleb1051]

Did you add Wood Glue in the latex on this one too?

[themaggot8]

That's a lot of work, but it was worth it.

[DavrosTheKaled]

PLEASE REPLY:: So, do you brush vaseline on with a brush whilst the clay is still wet and put latex on it while it's still wet?

[DavrosTheKaled]

Usually I am told to always use a mould and pour latex into that, rather than just using the actual sculpt. I PREFER YOUR WAY!

Is the Latex for you, constantly sticky?

[DavrosTheKaled]

How did you get just strips of clay? Did you cut them?

You've inspired me to do alot more :D

[shorlems122]

WHY DO LIKE HIM

[the1gwenfan]

This video has really enspired me.

[Jakethesnake1281]

Just great dude, I want one for next halloween

[brennlog]

Is there a way you could make the leg without having your REAL leg visible?

[llamzrt]

A guy with an octopus for a face and the thing you were most worried about creating is the hat,

[cuzgandalfgothigh99]

freakin genius. 500000/5

[orbitair]

I didn't believe in god until now dude, you're crazy awesome!

[laky450]

[sixsixalex1]

[123johnnydepp123]

I fucking love your Joker shirt <3

[Smarpache]

First I like to say that the mask looks awsome!!!

And I have a question:

Did you clean you brush between applying the layers of latex and if so, how did you do it, or did you use a new one with every layer?

Thanks in advance.

[Charlydestination]

EXEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLL­LLLLLLLLLLLLLLENTT THANKK YOUUUUUUU :D

[Olympian225]

DUDE your amazing and super talented nice job

[wordlofwarfan]

nice job and i heard you used the kraken theme

[ThePinkLadybeetle]

would you sell me yours? :D

[123458974]

Well done. You could be a custumer in Films. Try to join in!

[predator19981010]

what clay do u use

[LycheeTwist]

Wow. I've always wondered how other people made their Davy Jones costumes. I took a crack at it myself back in 2008. For the head I used a scuba mask as a base with an elastic nose strap and bedfoam tentacles attached with silicone caulking. My crab part methods are real similar to yours, right down to the oatmeal container :) If you ever want to try it, silicone caulking pushed through a cake decorating tip and punched with a wet pencil eraser are cool barnacles.

Well done. Very cool.

[Urhed]

A bit yellow

[newzikiwi]

that is freakin' amazing! the only thing I could say would be painting it cos the yellow looks a bit goofy, but apart from that a bloody stellar job mate!

[theoneandonlytb]

You're extremely good, but you should probably get someone else to narrate it, as your voice is boring.

[happyking9]

i expect animatronics next year lol :D

[trapdoors]

very nice!

[EmpressNatalie]

Wow, dude, you suck (dripping with sarcasm, of course!)

Holy shit! ::shakes head:: Freakin' amazing. Just...wow. (And I really, really wish I'd seen this a couple months ago, I'm making something similar, your video would have been insanely helpful. I'm sewing mine. Egads!)

}:)

[HotToysCollector666]

dude in all ur mask they need to be way bigger but u r really good try to work bigger but nice

[missmariahernandez]

that was so cool dude ur creative 

[hallo1778]

full size predator ship

[Comicwriter232]

how do u prevent the latex from sticking to itself, when pulling it off the sculpture?  my first attempt got ripped to shreds, i didn't have enough layers. I am trying my 2nd attempt, it is still ripping, and when I was trying to pull it off it got stuck together and then ripping as i tried to unstick it....I'm really frustrated b/c im out of latex, and i don't want to have to try again....The 2nd attempt was 16 whole ounces, and it still doesnt work...any advice?

[alexthemoviegeek]

@Comicwriter232 Rubbing some baby powder on the mask helps it not stick to itself. I suppose I should add that detail in an annotation.

[Timmeken07]

@Comicwriter232

What is the brand of that latex product? Did you buy that product in a workshop or did you have to combine it yourself?

Kind regards in advance :)

[Comicwriter232]

@Timmeken07 I ordered it off amazon, couldn't find any in stores. The latex came already in one mixture, no mixing of parts required. I don't quite remember the brand though, some sort of mask making specific latex though.

[Timmeken07]

@Comicwriter232

Thank you to answer my first question ;). My second question is which kind of clay or plasticine/modelling paste you worked with? Kind regards in advance (again) :)

[Comicwriter232]

@Timmeken07 I used the type of modelling clay that never hardens.

[Timmeken07]

@Comicwriter232

What is the brand of that product (latex)? Did you buy that in a workshop or did you combine it yourself?

Kind regards in advance :)

[MiniDiablo1996]

@Comicwriter232 use vaseline

[MiniDiablo1996]

@Comicwriter232 or so

[Comicwriter232]

did u use vaseline on the sculpt, b4 u brushed on the latex. How important is the vaseline, to the mask not ripping?  also, how many layers of latex did u use?

[alexthemoviegeek]

@Comicwriter232 Vaseline just helps the latex not stick to the sculpt, helps it slide off easier. I did probably 10 layers of latex.

[hanselcat]

very creative

[spinoboy202]

were you tired of making itdid you need a rest

[negozwaldofoz]

Congrat´s Alex. I Believe that´s the most amazing Davy Jones Hand Made costume i ever seen, I´m from Brazil, i made one myself with cheap materials take a look in my videos.

Nothing compared with yours but...

[MrGalaxyPictures]

Could I paint the latex on the styrofoam head to make a window shop dummie mask?

[BoUnCeRgaming]

do u have online on your ps3?

[wildfilms365]

I was just wondering how I was going to do the makeup for my "The Mask"(1994) short, I think I got an Idea.

[J0seFenn03]

Awsomeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!

[SuperRko619]

thats pretty cool dude...have you tried doing Jack Skelenton from nightmare before christmas

[Monkeymoviesinc]

Cheerios! that genious

[Kachukeland]

man, your predator and davy jones costumes are incredible. You have great attention to detail, and you're a natural sculptor. You have to have some talent to sculpt the clay faces.

Hey, have you considered making a spider-man costume? i've seen some pretty good ones, and I bet you'd make a great one.

[alexthemoviegeek]

@Kachukeland Something like Spider-Man would require much smoother surface, probably through the use of casting and molding. All that for a full body would be pretty crazy. Just a mask maybe (and maybe a wetsuit for the body), but that would be a fun challenge.

[Kachukeland]

@alexthemoviegeek don't forget, there needs to be a subtle muscle suit under the spider-man suit. only to enhance certain features, like the pecks, biceps, shoulders, maybe quadriceps.. yeah, i didn't really think about how much of a challenge that would be.

What's next on your list of costumes to make?

[alexthemoviegeek]

@Kachukeland I'd say if it was easy enough to sculpt the webbing on top somehow, starting with a base unitard or lycra suit would be great for Spider-man. I'd rather do a Venom anyway. Heh.

Next project won't be a costume, but it could turn out to be pretty cool. I also might do a Dark Knight batsuit.

[Kachukeland]

@alexthemoviegeek ooooo, sounds cool! I've seen some pretty cool Halo suits made from cardboard and paper, believe it or not. Batman could work similarly.

Good luck!

[alexthemoviegeek]

@Kachukeland Yeah, I'd love to do pepakura. But it's too "mainstream" for me. I want to do things a little more uniquely. Or at least costumes that people don't make very often.

[bradleydstoker]

Incredible job Alex! That's freaking amazing!

[TechBear1]

Good job.

You're right about the mask.

It needs some shadowing and discoloring.

[alexthemoviegeek]

@TechBear1 And it's weird because it seems there are some translucency issues with him, like his skin looks like different colors under different light. To make the proper coloring would take paints and skills I really don't have. There's a guy on deviantART who did a great job on his.

[TechBear1]

@alexthemoviegeek Why not ask him how he did his?

It's just a texturing thing you need.

Some bruwns, greens and black for the shadows.

[alexthemoviegeek]

@TechBear1 At the very least, I needed some blue. There's a lot of dark blue on his tentacles, but I didn't have the right colors, for cream makeup that I would have used.

[TechBear1]

@alexthemoviegeek When you only have what you got it hard to get it just right.

I know how you feel.

[FireXeroTutorials]

WELL DONE!!!!

[nachojr456]

Amazing!!!

[superdbot]

I dont know why you dont have thousands of subscribers because i love your videos and cant wait until new ones come out

[boastudios]

looks cool but to be honest. i would have made a hollow pegleg. then mad it a couple inches longer so ur git fits in it. the you make your boots have lifts so u look bigger and more realistic.

[alexthemoviegeek]

@boastudios Yeah, that definitely makes itself evident upon looking at me in the final product, that my body build in general isn't quite the same.

[narukofan2]

Awesome costume my friend

[currycatdrone]

Awesome Davy! I like him hes cool and sometimes funny hes a cool VILLIAN!!!!
