You sure know how to make a fine looking pumpkin head. Nice use of material that I wouldn't have first thought of. Lots of interesting flexibility in the head and mouth too. Gotta try it

[@StiltbeastStudios]

the flexibility wont last that long, that was while it was still curing- the window and door version maintains some flexibility though.

I taught myself how to make masks of this size, but with papiermache. I make them for my son's costumes these past several years. I've made bendy, Sans from Undertale, and Kenny from south park. It makes me happy to see that I was doing the mesh on the inside correctly all this time. I wanted to make sure the mesh would stick properly, especially when hand painting the eyes, so i did the hot glue sandwich method. So glad my instincts were right. Your mask looks amazing. Hopefully i can make one of my own. I've never work with foam before. Maybe it's time for a new medium 🎃

[@StiltbeastStudios]

there are few basic mechanical principles and once you understand those, you can make anything.

Allen you seem like a fun guy to work for. I love horror and Halloween. I have been plumbing for about 10 years now for the same company. I would probably quit my job to work for some like you. It has all was been a dream to work in your line of work👊🍻

[@StiltbeastStudios]

Most people find it difficult to leave a career to go into special effects work. It's what we call "the golden handcuffs"- because normally special effects work does not pay very well and sometimes it comes in waves. Do you already make things on your own? Or would this be a complete new start from the beginning? I would suggest buying materials on your own and practicing here and there on your own for a bit. I wish you the best of luck in whatever career you choose.

In the first video I watched, you talked about the importance of using a reference, to get it right. In the second video, I watched you build a pumpkin with a stem growing out of a leaf. What you did looks good, but... anyway, you gave some great advice in that first video I watched

[@StiltbeastStudios]

this is a whimsical children's pumpkin- the reference I used had that ring of leaves around the stem, from a childrens book -so I did it. use reference, and your imagination ;). like imagine im a good artist lol.

I've been wanting to do a jack o lantern head this year and you have so many tutorials on making pumpkins! I've used a real one before for a head but which do you think would be the best faux one for a beginner and cheapest to make? I was thinking of using a ball or balloon and cover it in great stuff until it sets then burst the ball/oon and then carve it out. Do you think that'd work? Papier Mache is what most ppl recommend to me but I suck at that for some odd reason lol. I just need a static spooky head that doesn't weigh 10 lbs like the last one and I can't find any funkins big enough!

[@StiltbeastStudios]

Paper mache sucks! I’ve used beach balls from Amazon covered in Loctite spray foam. Makes a great Jack o Lantern!

[@NekoFreya]

@@StiltbeastStudios Do you need to cover or spray them with anything first? Or do the beach balls not stick to the foam much?

If you mist them with water, they won’t stick to the foam.

[@StiltbeastStudios]

Id fill it with foam or at least add some for support. and make sure you seal it well so it hold water and get too heavy- or cut a hole in the bottom and put a bowl on top of the pole to help support and shape.

Thank you! Any estimate on largest size you could make it before its own weight bends it weird?

I think 4ft is possible, but you can keep upping foam thickness as well, and add a brace on the interior.
