Creature Eye Tutorial -Part 1: How to make realistic fake eyes for your monster cosplay
Рет қаралды 198,981
Күн бұрынWatch to learn the tools and techniques I used to create the eyes on my worgen cosplay, Genn Greymane that I took to Blizzcon 2016. This is my first tutorial video and I hope you enjoy and give making some creature eyes for your beastly cosplays. I also have a discussion about the different effect you get from this eye technique vs a resin fursuit eye. Remember to embrace your inner beast!
(Aug 2020 update) I have made an improvement toy eye kit that makes it more user friendly, there are much less steps involved! I will make a new video about it soon but for now, here's new links to my kit that you can purchase and paint yourself! I split it up into three listings to hopefully keep things less confusing.

+NeonBlackHeartAttack yep! Clear resin is tricky, it looks great but it can be hard and expensive. This technique will give you good looking eyes either way :)

This is a really creative technique! I love realistic eyes but never liked the follow-me effect because, like you, I love the performing aspect of fursuiting/cosplaying and want it to be obvious where the creature is looking. I'll definitely give this a try. Thank you so much for sharing this with us. :'3

+rainbow wings with this technique you would have to have your vision come out of the mouth or have a mesh in the tear duct area(right next to the eye) of the suit right that you can see through

Kazplay Videos okay that's how I usually see out of mine is just when I seen Gray-Mane it looked like he had like in the tear ducts a little space to see but it looks a little too small to see if so I assume that maybe you saw the mouth of him he is really cool keep up the great work😁

If you don't have isopropyl myristate, you can use gentle heat from a heat gun or hairdryer for removing fingerprints from monster clay. If you're not careful it will melt the whole thing though.

I sculpt and hope you don't mind if I add a tip. If you can't get any isopropyl myristate, lighter fluid or naptha works well. You have to let it sit for a few minutes before working with it so the clay dries.

@glenngriffon8032 6 жыл бұрын
Tiny Badger here on YT linked me to this from her recent dragon puppet. These are beautiful eyes. I started off wondering why you didn't just use acrylic cabuchons and a printed eye but then when the camera zoomed in on the head and the eyes ate the end and i saw the depth of detail that came through in just a video I didn't have to wonder. The depth of detail in person must be striking.

Thank you for sharing! I've loved watching your progress on Hogger, that's how I found you (on Twitter), and I've been looking through your backlogs since. I'll definitely have to try this technique out once I have reason to. For future reference, do you think white/other colors of craft foam could be used for the sclera? Or do you think it wouldn't work out/would show because of the black backing for the pupil? I could always try it out and let you know, haha.
@KazplayVideos 6 жыл бұрын
+Fox Mulder I have done it with a off white/brownish sclera on a Lynx cosplay I made earlier this year and it worked well! I just painted the black foam (it wasn't too hard) you can use white or another color foam, just put a small piece of black fabric or foam just over the hole in the back before doing the whole sclera bit :)
