Halloween pics

[classicdrogn]

Continuing the jug-head theme, a few yarrs ago (five, apparently, not the two I thought) there was this, similar to what I suggested above:



That was using a big vinegar jug, BTW, and due to how I cut the eyeslits it actually had GREAT peripheral visison. A milk jug turns out to be a little too short to work properly in that orientation, though, and due to the eye holes being cut in the flat front it does block things a little more than the older design. Cutting a jack-o-lantern mouth (and lower eyes that the pic above so it's not mashing my nose) turned out to work pretty well, and a light spritz of candy orange automotive enamel plus a few minutes with a green Sharpie gave it some half-decent pumpkin colors too. Not the best photo, sadly, due to lighting conditions - I'll try again tomorrow with some natural light instead of the intentionally dim interior lights and always-crapifying camera flash. For now, though, here's a couple snaps of my Gourdon Kopf costume.

Clicky for bigs.





As the lower jaw is doubling as a chin strap to hold the mask down in front, opening my mouth also makes the mask's jaw move. You can see the difference between this shot and the full-body one above.
