I just watched a dude who cosplayed as a alien and This made me too happy.

[@WilliamJakespeareProps]

nice!

[@XavierCaudill]

The self plug for kyber crystals have become my favorite part of your videos! Keep up the great work!

[@WilliamJakespeareProps]

Glad you like them, I try to make them fun.

[@dyanawright2183]

Thank you!!!! Your template was perfect. Made my 7 year Olds dreams come true! I just built as is, then took about 8" out of the middle. 5mm foam worked good, 2mm was too thin for a 3x wear in the dark for the kiddo

[@WilliamJakespeareProps]

Awesome! Glad to have helped!

[@222CBK222]

I just got done making a Xenomorph shield/trophy for my Predator cosplay thanks to your template and tutorial video! I decided to give it a bit more character and give it Grid's markings from AvP!

[@WilliamJakespeareProps]

Nice!

[@shanedemink2966]

I've tried, just because of how much it's been asked. A hair dryer doesn't work. As you said, it just doesn't get hot enough. Which I'm sure your scalp is thankful for. I enjoy your videos. Keep up the good work!

[@WilliamJakespeareProps]

Thanks will do!

[@dragonmasteraltais]

This is absolutely amazing, and I have always wanted a tutorial on creating a Xenomorph costume, considering there are literally none available except those really expensive movie specials or whatever. I just wish I had the time to do this and the money to buy everything for it. I shall remain ever hopeful.

[@WilliamJakespeareProps]

Well if you have $7.49, templates are in my etsy store. Link is in the video description. Have at it!

[@AstheCrowTries]

You might think I'm nuts... but I'm using hatmaking techniques to do this out of fabric for a very silly commission. Parts are traced onto plastic canvas, backed in felt, then covered with fabric. I just did a test piece of the jaw and I think it just might work.... great idea with the jaw hinged on a piece of pvc, btw.

[@WilliamJakespeareProps]

@@AstheCrowTries interesting technique, and thanks!

[@Beot781]

Alien is my favorite movie of all time!

[@WilliamJakespeareProps]

it's pretty fantastic!

[@kerricaine]

fun fact; a regular household hairdryer will not have enough heat to shape EVA foam, but! high end salon style hair dryers can reach similar temperatures to a heat gun. in theory, this also means that it's perfectly fine to use a heat gun to dry your hair if you're careful. source: tried, it for science.

[@WilliamJakespeareProps]

good to know!

[@TheSleepyRanger]

Always wanted to do a predator costume with a trophy xenomorph head on a spear or something so this definitely helps

[@WilliamJakespeareProps]

glad I could help!

[@Nothing-df4rh]

Can i follow up the old video for the neck? I'm thinking of doing it for cosplay and not displaying

[@itsagundam79]

@WilliamJakespeareProps do you have a tutorial or at least some images of the pulley system you used for the retractable gums?

[@felipegomez6729]

Most Impressive 🤙

[@WilliamJakespeareProps]

@@felipegomez6729 thanks! This is actually my second xeno morph head, so I had a bit of practice to lean on.

[@kerryevans7283]

I'm about to attempt this for Halloween. I did make a chest burster last night, but unfortunately one of our cats killed it this morning. I now know how Jones that cat survived the first film.

[@WilliamJakespeareProps]

Ya know, i have a tutorial for Ripley's cat carrier. You could build that and use it as a display case for the burster.

[@ladywesker5307]

I will be using this for my AVP Xenomorph shield

[@WilliamJakespeareProps]

awesome!

[@bennygoodman4104]

What thickness is the floor mat you use, this is going to be my first Eva project, great video

[@WilliamJakespeareProps]

thanks, 3/8 inch floor mats

[@mns188]

Just a pice of art!! I bought the template but didn't start yet because I'm still on my predator costume, I hope I can start building during January! Thanks for the tutorial!!

[@WilliamJakespeareProps]

no problem!

[@baiyando9168]

CAN I HAVE YOUR TEMPLATES

[@joshuashaw5524]

Nice work Jake

[@WilliamJakespeareProps]

thanks!

[@gracelessabomination9847]

do you remember what brand floor foam you used? I can't find any that has a smooth side, most are double sided :(

[@WilliamJakespeareProps]

really? I can't remember the last time i saw double sided eva foam. Well the brand i usually use is "We Sell Mats" I shop online, but I've found it in select Lowe's, 5Below, ALDI, and BJ's Wholesale Club. Michael's carries the thinner stuff, but not the linking kind.

[@MCWproductions-pb4op]

do you have to use a heat gun because i do not have one and im too poor to afford one 😅

[@brettalexander.studio]

I'd love to see a puppet version! Where you use your hands to control dynamic mouth movements!!

[@WilliamJakespeareProps]

that'd be awesome! I'll make a note to modify the gloves!

[@eqlips7439]

Can you make the katana light saber from star word version

[@9000ethanator]

The shape of the head reminds me a lot of some of the Covenant ships from Halo.

[@worm9591]

Cool video! I'm currently working on a Carnage mask made of liquid latex and polymorph plastic. I'm also using prosthetics to make the transformation look I'm going for seem more authentic.

[@WilliamJakespeareProps]

Very cool!

[@arpitarakshit3199]

Just started the build today after printing the templates and I am going to make it with cardboard will it work ?🤔

[@WilliamJakespeareProps]

I mean you can do it, but it'll look like cardboard. Foam and a heatgun will run you $30.

[@arpitarakshit3199]

@@WilliamJakespeareProps but man if I fix it not to look like cardboard will it be okay?😀🤔😅 and yeah can we wear it ?🤔 if we don't stick the lower section🤔

[@agumon-b240]

Do you have the molds for this wonderful alien costume? can you put them for download please ;i want to make a xenomorph costume but i need the molds to get it .i think the hardest part is the head!

[@carnage9184]

I bought the thin roll of foam, I had no problem with the pattern showing through because it doesn’t much, that much u can notice it. I made a carnage mask from the comics so I didn’t have a problem with it looking lumpy.

glad it worked out for you!

Does that glove serve a specific purpose? I've never seen that before.

[@WilliamJakespeareProps]

oh yeah, it's meant to keep your palm from smudging pencil dust or a digital drawing tablet. I was alternating between this and drawing projects.

[@WilliamJakespeareProps]

thanks!

[@nokk7750]

Awesome build!! How did you make the pattern? I am trying to build Reze's bomb head from Chainsaw man

[@WilliamJakespeareProps]

i noticed that the ends of the alien head were similar to old helmet patterns that I made so I extended them in order to make the alien pattern.

[@ticooo69]

I cut the pattern and my pieces, and i think I made a mistake… all the V shape small cut, du we have to cut it or it’s only for alignment? I cut all the small V mark, I think I was wrong ? At first I thought I had to glue these V cut 😢

[@WilliamJakespeareProps]

the small v marks are only for alignment. You're supposed to cut them out of the template, trace them onto the foam, but don't cut them out of the foam.

[@ticooo69]

@@WilliamJakespeareProps yeah… I did that, I cut them out the foam 🫣🫣🫣🫣🫣🫣 I will have to recut all my pieces 😂 it will be a lot of hole to cover if I use them anyway uh?

[@shadowfyed7117]

wow the first time i bought foam i saw a roll of foam and decided to instead wait for like 3 weeks and going to a different store just to avoid buying the roll of foam glad i did that

the eva foam I have on me isnt textured but it is Very thin, has anyone tried this and been successful? I feel like it would hold shape better but I'm worried about lining the edges up to glue the pieces together

[@WilliamJakespeareProps]

I've been able to go as thin as 4mm, but for something this big, you may need to add more internal supports.

[@garbagejpeg]

@@WilliamJakespeareProps ​​⁠ yeahhhhh I have 2mm and just learned this the hard way about an hour ago lmao poor xenomorph head was super lumpy so i’m switching to 6mm thank you!!
