So as promised I will be posting more often! This time I am going to show you how I sculpted my hand appliances for my Kerrigan costume. So the first thing we need is a copy of our (your) hand to sculpt on. This allows having a prosthetic that fits your hand perfectly. To do this we need a couple of things:
1. Prosthetic grade alginate
2. Some sort of container to put your hand in (like Tupperware)
3. Plaster of Paris, Hydrostone, or HydroCal (preferred)
3a. A metal whisk or some other mixing tool you wouldn't mind throwing away.
4. Shellac or mold soap and warm water
Now I could explain this all day long but I figured I would show the video that helped me a ton in this, and many other, processes. They very clearly explain everything and have a good quality video so you see what is going on. The video is done by Brick in the yard Mold Supply and their webstore http://brickintheyard.com/ is where I get all of my mold making supplies.

Surprise?
Well two things are certain, 1) I haven't posted anything in a long time! and 2) I still love to cosplay WAY too much!
I LIVE! And I will be posting more things about my fun little project I am currently working on a lot more regularly. I will even be posting tutorials as I go since what I am working on is not exactly a secret any more. After not being able to go to Blizzcon 2011 it put me into over drive mode on working on my "newest" project:
INFESTED KERRIGAN
She's awesome, badass, and one hell'a-hard costume! Just the way I like it! I love a challenge and decided to go full throttle on this one! Complete with latex, silicone, hopes, and tears. The biggest difference between what I am doing and what my good friends over at tripleacosplay are doing is I will not be making my suit out of foam latex. Even though this is the "industry standard" I do not have the means, funds, or space to make a 5 1/2 ft custom oven. So I will be taking a different approach. I will be posting progress and tutorials as much as I can as I go along. Since I will not be putting a deadline on her I figured there is no real point to waiting until I am completely done with the suit seeing how it could be done as late as next year. Needless to say, she will be my biggest costume yet!
