Hello lovely people!
In the video above, I recordered step-by-step how I created my "Book Of Spells" replica that has also a box inside.
My main goal was to be as accurate as possible to the original one.
It was such an inspiring journey that involved so many materials and different techniques, the entire process took more than one month.
Hope you liked it!
You can see more pictures of the Book and Costume I made here:

Thanks for watching an stay creative!

For those asking about the 'skin' cover of the book.. Educated guess as I use the same methods - The first stage is sculpting the detail and texture in water based clay (the orange/terracotta stuff 7:26). Then a plaster mold is taken of the sculpture (the white thick stuff painted on top 7:37). Once the plaster is dry, you can then peel off the sculpted layer of clay (7:52). Pigmented liquid latex is then painted on top in a succession of layers (8:02). Once dry you can then peel the latex off in one piece (8:12) and you have a flexible skin copy of your initial clay sculpture. Hope this helps 🙂

Royal Robson do you have any idea what he used for the black backing on the liquid latex?

@royalrobson28 3 жыл бұрын

@@nicolegranieri6373 The black backing is just pigmented latex. The last couple of coats of latex will have black acrylic paint mixed in with it to give that finished look

Do you have a suggestion for a particular liquid latex? I am new to this.

@royalrobson28 3 жыл бұрын

@@douglasbarnett2909 Any liquid latex you can buy in craft stores. Google liquid latex (sometimes referred to as Casting Latex) and you'll find online stores near you or that will ship worldwide. Hope this helps

@localtrashcan1958 5 жыл бұрын

Im definately not the creator but im pretty sure by looking at it that he used clay for the "skin" of the book. Id look for a kind of terricotta clay in a craft store or if you cant find that, try mixing red and brown paint into a white clay. It might also be a kind of rubber. Im not completely sure. Hope it helps though! Also sorry that i saw your comment so late!

@KlassiclyRevampT 5 жыл бұрын

He used a clay to create the form, after which he made the skin using layers of a liquid latex pour over the clay mapped out skin form in order for it to be pliable for the stitching details, and to get it as closely detailed to resemble skin as possible.

The best one I've Seen yet. I would say tho, at that point, you're in the project neck deep anyways, I probably would've gone all out and melted some solder or aluminum to put in the snake molds so they were real metal. It's easier than you'd think

To me it looks like he made a mold for the cover/skin. He used clay to design out what he wants the skin to look like. Then he made a mold out if it. Then he used something like Silicone Rubber poured into the mold. When dried he painted it...

@brandielee7971 4 жыл бұрын

Most likely it looks like he sculpted the details with Clay (non sulfur), made a silicone block mold, then cast them in resin and hand painted them to look like metal. The skin looks to be either faux or real leather, but judging from the backing on it I'm guessing faux.

@brandielee7971 4 жыл бұрын

Whoops what I thought was skin was just the box liner. He definitely sculpted the skin, then cast it. Just off the look of it I'd guess a dragonskin silicone. But don't forget that silicone can only be painted with more silicone.
