Hello community 💖 today I want to share something I was working on yesterday and today, because I got it in my head to do an artistic makeup of a horror character that I like a lot because it is very scary, I do not want to tell you who it is because it is a surprise that you will see tomorrow in the makeup that I will do, although I am not satisfied with the result I think I did the best I could, the hat that the character I am going to recreate does not look scary at all the terrifying thing is in the face of this monster, however, I feel it looks too cute hahahaha I feel it looks like an emoji, the hat and not exactly like the original, but I hope it looks much better when I make up, I also want to fix a little bit the edges because they were quite sloppy, but it will be tomorrow, I'm really exhausted because I had to do some things twice because they came out wrong, anyway, I will show you the process for this hat which I made using only foamy.
Proceso/Process
Con silicón caliente pegue todas las partes creando esta especie de tubo, luego tome dos hojas mas las cuales servirían de base y recorte un arco que encajaría en la parte donde se dejaría libre el hueco de la cabeza, para que esta parte de abajo quedara bien pegada y sin deformarse, realice algunas líneas que recorte y poco a poco fui uniendo cada cinta dentro del gorro, pudiendo asi pegarlo mas facil y sin riesgos de que se deformara el foamy.
For this opportunity I bought red foamy, a material that is quite easy to work with, however, I had a problem and that is that here they did not sell the foamy in folds, that would have made things much easier, but I always say that we can work with what we have, I had to buy red foamy sheet size letter, I bought a total of 9 sheets, when I got home I started to rehearse with the foamy and adhesive tape, to square well as I would join it and also go measuring with my head to have a circle that fit perfectly.
With hot silicone I glued all the parts creating this kind of tube, then I took two more sheet which would serve as a base and cut an arc that would fit in the part where the hole of the head would be left free, so that this bottom part would be well glued and without deforming, I made some lines that I cut and little by little I was joining each tape inside the hat, so I could glue it easier and without the risk of deforming the foamy.
In total, I glued 4 sheets of foamy on the base, I also cut a circle of foamy which I placed on top to make the lid of the hat, I paused the hat to take care of the glasses, for which I made the shape of round glasses on cardboard, which I cut out and then opened a hole in the center where the glass is supposed to go, in this part I began to put the scissors and cut forming the frame of the glasses.
I painted them with gold paint, they looked very nice, but it occurred to me to put a kind of glass which I would make with an empty soda can, I cut out two circles and put them in the fire to mold them, finally I glued them to the glasses, all this work was in vain because I realized that the glasses were too small and had to be a little bigger hahaha, but that didn't stop me, I made them bigger again but with the difference that the new ones don't have glass made with soda bottles because I didn't have any more, I decided to leave it like this, I cut two circles of black foamy which simulate these buttons that are eyes.
To finish, I cut the base of the hat giving it an oval shape and then I took a hair iron with which I made this kind of folds on the edges of the hat, this did not come out as I expected haha, the last step was to glue the eye buttons and glasses and it's finished.
It was a simple job but complicated at the same time, as I said, I hope it looks better with the makeup, I hope you like it and it will be useful for some ideas in the future, see you soon.
