Yeah so I obviously decided on the Giggling Green Ghosts or Phantom Shadows or whatever, and yes unlike Monsters Unleashed, I decided to bring them BOTH back! Ironically the two of these guys were actually the easiest to complete but they were pretty expensive as I had to buy two of everything. So the cloaks I just bought off amazon and cut up a bunch, added wear and dirt yadda yadda the whole deal. The arms are skeleton arm yard props and the chains were just fake chain off Amazon. I actually had a cool idea on how to make the heads which is mainly why I wanted to make these guys in the first place. Basically I took a fake skull, and stretched black fabric over it (I used the feet of an old morphsuit). Then I cut holes in the fabric and put red LEDs in the eyes in mouth, and I put waxpaper I colored red underneath the fabric but overtop the LEDs and skull so it would diffuse the light a little and make it look better. And I gotta say I do LIke the finished looks of the heads, especially with the lights off. Oh and I thought the rest of it looked really static and boring so I just took the rope from a drawstring bag and tied it around the middles so at least something is there. I was considering making fake moss to stick to the cloak and maybe hands but I thought it would be a lot of work and I wasn't even sure it would work properly or even make it look better in the slightest so yeah. Thanks for sticking through all this long guys, these were a lot of fun to do Wow, Oxcent! You're like, totally amazing with these costumes! I really am hoping for a Coolsonian Criminology Museum exhibit soon!
