It's Showtime! | Beetlejuice sandworm puppet

It's alive! This project has come so far and still has so much yet to come! But it's alive! The worm is wearable, menacing and honestly adorable. I'm so freaking happy with how this DIY project has turned out. Starting with cardboard, E6000, EVA foam and a dream this thing has slowly come together into something honestly incredible.
It's still missing something though! Did you spot the missing detail(s)? Let me know in the comments below!

Wow, the sandworm’s face is so beautiful! I love that it twists around you too 🤩

[@jakobtuttle1037]

Damn that’s an awesome prop worm, could have been used for movie production

[@mildlygothic]

Thank you so much! I hope the final product looks like it walked right off the set!

[@natgarret]

It looks BEAUTIFULLLLL, I've been making a bunch of smaller models of these creepy things and the two things I think if noticed missing is the black and white teeth of the first head and the fin on the first black stripe

[@mildlygothic]

You got it!!! I didn't catch the black and white teeth stripe until I saw the new movie! But have no fear, both will be added before this thing is over!

@@mildlygothic lets gooo

[@PawsintheSkyCon]

let's hope they show more of that sandworm in the new Beetlejuice movie, ideally the 3rd one if they plan on making a 3rd one! Also, lovely design of that sandworm you did MildlyGothic!

[@mildlygothic]

Thank you so much!!

This looks so cool! If i had to guess what’s missing it would be the black (shark-ish?) fin on its back. I recently watched the original beetlejuice movie and have been in love with the sandworm design ever since! They’re so cool and crazy looking.

[@mildlygothic]

Ding ding ding! You got it! That's 100% what's missing. It will be fixed and added in the next video though! There's also technically one more small detail missing, any idea what? 😁

[@marii8792]

Would you ever sell it or do commissions for the worm?

[@mildlygothic]

I'm flattered you ask! I think it'd need a lot of polish and some refinement before it would be ready for anything like that. I'm completely self taught in basically everything I do, so before selling or making it for someone else I'd want to make sure it's as polished and strong as possible! If someone wanted to purchase or commission something from me I'd be down to consult! No guarantees on a final decision. I don't feel confident in labeling myself a professional. This project has been an incredible journey and is still not done, so commissions in general probably, but for this worm? Idk if I could part with it, and I would have no idea what to ask for a price. The footage I share is only a fraction of the work that's gone into making it. So it'd be quite an expensive piece to recreate. I'm genuinely flattered you ask though. I hope you'll stick around to see the project through to the end!

@@mildlygothic ah okay! Thank you! Im attempting to try and make a worm with cardboard too! Hopefully it turns out creepy like yours :))

[@mildlygothic]

@marii8792 I'm sure it will! If you have specific questions on how I did any part let me know! There's also videos on the full progression of this project so you can see how I approached it. I'm sure yours will be great!

[@shizukesahanta8178]

Would you sell this? If so, how much.

[@mildlygothic]

I'm flattered you think it's good enough to sell! I don't think I want to sell it, it's definitely not a consideration until I see the whole project through to completion. But I appreciate your interest!

[@PawsintheSkyCon]

@@mildlygothic Would that be even allowed, even though that character is copyrighted?

[@mildlygothic]

That's a great question, I honestly don't know. Definitely something I would look into if I was actually going to sell it. But I think I'm a little to attached to it right now!
