Using artificial plants as feathers is just genius! I'm definitely keeping that in my diy memory bank!

[@WickedMakers]

Yeah that was a clever move from Jaimie!!

[@sapphirejade5029]

@@Mari-vh2tu hope to use this for my future cosplays! This is a mad yet splendid idea!!😁😁😁

[@SergeiMosin]

One of the best things I've found for black wings is to use a gloss black base coat, a heavy iridescent blue layer in random stripes, and then just a light pass of the final black coat. Iridescent blue under the black catches the light passing through the "feathers" and makes it almost glow with what looks like natural moonlight coming through the gaps and the thin areas of the material.

[@i.cant.sleep.anymore]

Great tip!!

[@umi4808]

the wings turned out absolutely perfect!! and the fact that you guys got them to move too is the cherry on top of it all. amazing work 🎃!

[@WickedMakers]

Thank you!!!

[@shawhain]

Spirit needs to hire you guys as designers because you make their bland animatronics absolutely incredible.

[@breespicer8324]

The animatronic designers have to design with price in mind. The costume is simple so that it's not a $500 animatronic~!

[@themoshpit8341]

@@breespicer8324 exactly. look at Morris's costumes they spruce up a lot of home Depot animatronics but the price is ballistic. I should because I bought the hulking werewolf

[@Ashleylaclair-bf7lr]

That's why their videos are so cool cause you can do it yourself

[@marianbaez9178]

[@buzzmooney2801]

The wings are terrific! And yes, I'd like to see the staff video! EDIT: Thanks for the "before and after" pictures! It's cool to see just how much better your version is!

[@jaynagause6669]

Agree!!!!

[@bearhandies4646]

Yes! I'd love to see a part two video covering the staff and any other parts that you want to make. Personally, I'd love to see the head covered in feathers rather than bone because it's kinda like having a fully fleshed body with just a skull for a head. Kinda like skeletor haha

[@sabriel_]

I'm working at Spirit Halloween this year and you guys are seriously tempting me to spend all my paycheck just getting animatronics that won't fit in my tiny apartment. I'm an illustrator / painter and this is making me want to do some super detailed paint jobs and makeovers on some decorations.

[@katelillo1932]

I bet you could sell them for decent money since they’d be one of a kind designs!

[@krose6451]

Person advice is to wait until after Halloween, buy what is clearance, and do customizing on those. You save money and if you're still into it past Halloween season its a sign of a hobby worth taking up and maybe spending more money on in the future. Also buying smaller figures to customize might help build skills and help you decide what you like best and the thrift stores usually have stuff that will work foroutfitting.

[@festive101]

@@krose6451 right

[@natashajade787]

You could also buy Halloween decorations second hand and makeover those!

[@stevebor1]

I love how candid and semi unscripted you guys are. When I DIY, I learn along the way like you.

[@WickedMakers]

Glad to hear it!!!

[@jaw2112]

There’s something about them that I find relaxing and calming to listen/watch

[@preppyprincess15]

The secondary movement of his arms not being super stiff kinda makes it feel like he's even more real! He's super cool out of box but I feel like his arm/wings are kinda awkward and this is a solution that makes him creepy but also beautiful in a way! So cool!

[@poltgoob9218]

I think this is by far my favorite one you guys have decorated. It's so stunning to watch as well, because you see this magnificent animatronic leave it's box, and it's already looking great and it has you wonder, "how are they going to improve on this?" but I SAW THE THUMBNAIL AND I WAS JUST WAITING FOR IT! It looked so good by the end... (and I'm glad the mullet didn't make a return, it looked too much like me when I was a teenager)

[@WickedMakers]

😄😄😄😄😄

[@GalvanMind]

Amazing!! Here in Brazil, we don't celebrate Halloween, it's not a holiday, but in last 10 years, the Halloween culture has grown a lot here, and many people have themed parties in their homes! Unfortunately, we don't have Trick or Treat, we just do themed parties! My family decorates the house every year and I always make my own props in real size; Last year I made a cauldron like the that you guys did. I'll try to make a Lord Raven like yours, of course, it won't be an animatronic (because we don't have animatronics for sale here), but it will be like a statue!! Many thanks for those amazing videos!

[@irosquaredboku]

I love him! He kinda looks like a skeksis, mixed with a tengu. Your projects always make me want to fancy up my own halloween decorations/spoopy room décor.

[@redwitch12]

YES. The moment the collar/feather ruff went on, I yelped "Skeksis!" and startled my cats.

These new animatronic makeovers are seriously some of the best halloween related videos that have been out recently

[@newuser8462]

aint that a fact

[@throneisbed7833]

I'll be honest, the new Lord Raven gives me the vibe of he was once a nobleman, but for whatever reason (power? riches? immortality?) turned to the dark arts, the magic growing viler with time as his search continues. He shows his face less and less, fearful that people may see what this is turning him into. Until eventually, he's so far removed from his own humanity, he has no choice but to exile himself to the dark forest.

[@WickedMakers]

Yes!!! Giving characters stories is the so much fun and helps the creative process immensely. I love this.

[@WillRipamonti]

That. Was. AWESOME! One of your best makeovers! I'm totally down to see the big glowing staff too!

[@StaciM40]

Yes please show the staff being made. You all, thankfully, showed up on my feed. I love the work you do. You come up with some amazing ideas. Thank you!!

[@r1verman]

[@LaineyBug2020]

Looks amazing! I would love to see a video on a wizard's staff from you guys!

[@WickedMakers]

Ok cool!

[@taylorrenn99]

The fact that there is no mechanics in its arms but just the movement of the whole thing itself makes the arms move almost realistically is amazing!

[@Punky_Brewster]

I just found your channel and have been binge watching this morning. You two have given me some great ideas! I was looking forward to seeing what you did with LORD RAVEN so can't wait to watch! 😃 Keep up the great work! 👻🎃💀

Definitely the best makeover yet! And you guys already have some seriously epic upgrades under your belts! I feel like this guy is totally worthy of a second episode for his staff.

[@pambrandon4186]

This makeover is amazing. The basic animatronic was good but he is so much cooler with wings and arms and the weathered strip with just enough color to give his robes some depth worked really well. I love that you shared other KZbinr's techniques which goes to show that everyone can pick up hints from other creators. Great job!

[@roamingjay7110]

This straight up looks like a D&D character, and I’m totally here for it! Love the wings especially!

Awesome work guys! He looks fantastic. The wings give him an awesome silhouette and the tattered robes and belts add so much visual interest.

I had doubts how you were going to make this one better (because it looked amazing out of the box) BUT oh mai gosh it is a massive upgrade! It looks more menacing and so much more character depth ! Honestly bravo 👏🏻 I love the result & I love you both ❤

[@amazon4716]

Wow. It looks great 👍 Love the wings. From a forest haunter to a forest hunter. 😅 Oh yeah... Please diy a staff.... I like seeing your diy from scratch for Halloween.

[@scot60]

I think this is your best one ever! The mullet cracked me up a bit. I kept thinking “business in the front, party in the back”. I thought Lord Raven looked good out of the box but y’all made him look 100% better. Genius to use the fake ferns as feathers and the wings, so clever. Kudos guys. More more more!

[@batcatowler1972]

That looks way better! Actual wings on Lord Raven make so much sense! ❤️

Probably one of my favorite makeovers. He very much gives me World of Warcraft vibes. I love it! And *chef's kiss* for the feathery neck ornament and wings not made from feathers.

Fantastic! I’ve waaay over spent on animatronics this year (thanks to the buy now pay later options 😂 I’m not eating ramen) and using some of you ideas to make them my own (trips to yard sales and Goodwin for old kids clothing is next week). But this dude is beyond awesome with your adjustments! I’m doing a Haunted nursery school theme with LOTS of dolls and a few tricks here and there. You’ve definitely inspired me more than my usual set up (which has been a stop for selfies by parents for the last few years).

Thank you both for bringing such delight and fun into my Halloween creating and decorating..... keep it coming ....more, more, more. Love your ingenuity and resourcefulness, plus just plain having the guts to tackle redesigning something (or someone .... cue wicked laughter) like Master Raven. Thanks again....Judith

I ALWAYS ALWAYS hit all the 2nd hand stores for any costumes for my props or animatronics. I also look for fabric, sheets, even curtains that I can use for costumes or any of my decorations. Thrift and 2nd hand stores always first and throughout the year. I've found that after the Holidays you can find tons of donated decorations, props, I even have found some animatronics.
