What do we want? BRAINS!!! When do we them? BRAINS!!!
Halloween, I love you.
Zombie cheerleader and football player, inspired by the football players in Beatlejuice who follows around the afterlife intake lady Juno saying things like "Hey, Coach, I don't think we survived that crash."
I went back and forth on this Halloween. As I often do, I got an idea, and then I fixated. I HAD to do this idea. Even though it wasn't coming together, I could tear myself off it. And as you might have noticed, I have the blues.
At the last minute, I decided to go for it, and had the most fun I've had in six months making Walker's pads, painting the jersey, putting a weasel graphic on the helmet, fitting the cheerleading uniform, and ever so obsessively making the text for the front of the cheerleading outfit.
I couldn't bring myself to destroy these. No fire, no holes. Just a lot of blood. Too many dollars and too much potential in these bad boys.
Costume how-to, including make-your-own football pads (not to be used in athletics!) in a future post.
I need to work on my raw wounds. The neck slash was not bad, but I'll go thicker on the cut line in the future. The skinned/raw face size could be better. Maybe tinting the latex that's the base? Or maybe painting a thin coat of the Ben Nye thick blood before I apply it in clots. Walker's wound has a really sharp edge to it, but that didn't show when the helmet was on.
The zombie Girl Scout made a reappearance! Turns out what fits me as a short fitted dress fits my awesome friend like a knee length cinch dress. Yay! Also, it turns out that friend is GREAT at zombie eye makeup!
