Werewolf costume

Step 4: Detailing the head and making the teeth

You will need:

sculpey
oven to bake sculpey
sharpie marker
dremel
spray primer
epoxy glue


I added plaster strips to the ears as well as paper clay. Lots of shaving, sanding and swearing later and we kind of have a werewolf on the way....
Sculpting with paper clay sucks. I just did a little, let it dry, sanded, added more...repeat until happy. It's frustrating but it's worth it to me. This paper mache clay is REALLY light and really strong. It takes patience. I'd work on it between other projects so I didnt get too annoyed...
oohhhh man, this is where it got fun. The teeth are sculpey which I molded to the jaw, then baked then glued in. I also put a little snarl over them in paper clay later on.....
I also used a ton of primer on this thing while I was obsessing over the smoothness...thats why the whole thing is suddenly grey.
Notice how I marked the teeth so I could glue them in easier later on. I didnt detail the teeth as much as I could have but it works anyway.

Hey there Missmonster, I just saw your how-to on this werewolf costume and I wanted to say that I think it is very well done. How did you get involved with costume creations?? I play a game online called "secondlife" every now and then, which allows me to build stuff and play around with making almost this exact type of thing, in (obviously) a fictional, computer generated world. But this greatly interests me, sense I would be able to build things in the real world if I attempted to do what you've done here. Although maybe this is just me, i'm the kind of guy who would want to build the batsuit for example, and not just leave it as a costume, but implement all the details from the movie, (i.e bullet proof armor, hydraulics in the gloves and so on). In reality I probably couldn't afford that so I wouldn't try that extreme. But this post really caught my attention, and I was curious as to how you got started?

Chances are that she's either a furry or a werewolf-movie fan.
Then again, most furs tend to view werewolves in a more romantic light rather than as monsters...
She is probably just a fan of werewolf movies.

I think a shortened muzzle, here at step 4, and a coat of pink paint would make you a hit at the pig roast this Summer.

Oh ya, I remember what I was originally going to say. lol. Where did you get those teeth???? Or did you make them yourself?
