Figured i'de start a costume thread, feel free to post WIPs of your own costumes!
So heres a test run on some makeup hair and the rest. My GF did the makeup and i think its pretty awesome, we ordered some better scar sculping stuff that should be here in a few days, that stuff was terrible to work with. Got the clothes from goodwill for like $15 total, fucking awesome. The jacket is a bit more purple that it shows in the pictures, and we plan to dust/dirty/etc up the clothes as well.
Gotta figure something out with the hair, needs to be more of a pee-green color, any suggestions?

Could also get some sort of chalk/pastel in a more yellowish color, dust it in and spray really cheap aerosol hair spray to act as a fixative for the chalk.
I was thinking of hitting up the thrift stores and shoot for the 4th or 5th Doctor Who.
Edit: ya I didn't read the whole thing I fail...
the vest should be green, and the jacket is supposed to come to about your knees.

What i do is print off something like that and bring it with you to value village, goodwill, and other thrift shops. You can always dye clothes to better fit your needs. So you could always look for a white long jacket. If you fuck up oh no $5 down the drain...
So god damn fucking true.
Also, EQ, it seems the red part on your scars is too focused on the scar itself. Theres a couple great shots on google images of heath as a policeman where you can just see the scar marks themselves. IMO the red comes from his inasne application of red lip-stick (makeup) over top the scars, than the actual disfigurement itself.
Gonna be lots of jokers this year, but who ever is the dirtiest will reign supreme.
edit: If you want to stand out atleast, pick the nurse outfit
too expensive...
2) Jokers way over done this year as Adam pointed out. I know 3 people who plan to be the joker...
3) Where are the gloves?
4) Chain wallet?

Green vest, blue sport coat, purple long coat. I'm sure those aren't easy to find, especially with the Joker being so popular.
But doing the shirt/green vest combo like in the Jail scenes shouldn't be too hard?
As for Ironman, its more hard work then it would be expensive. Papercraft/cardboard/metallic paint is pretty damn cheap, considering...
Oh what a coincidence, everyone i know is going as a pretentious crate artist.
Yeah i was thinking about doing the nurse one actually, but we're going to like a party at my GF's work, and she didnt want me to freak everyone out. I know, lame right.
i say stay the course.
i heard that there will be a lot of witches this Halloween. and ghosts. it's going to suck.
Wait like 5-10 years then do a costume from something that was popular then. Like the SNL cheerleader costumes (Will Ferrell and Cheri Oteri) would be a riot now.
Thats really just me being a fatty.
Ribbing aside, its a good job. You look like the Joker from Iowa.
white makeup, especially combined with camera flash, washes out markers like the brows, cheekbones, and jaw that we see on figures with low bodyfat.
... Seriously, am i the only artist here?
First pic is sculpey base, which i baked
2nd pic is sculpey moldmaker, which i used to make a mold from the base, then baked.
And 3rd pic is a test run using sculpey again from the model, attached with spirit gum, i ordered some liquid latex, and some scar clay and i'll do some test runs and see which is more flexible and light.
you sir are a sick fuck.

in most scenes jokes makeup is heavily worn..
Haha, anyone seen the new US The Office episode? Exact same thing happened! Hehe.
I just hope that batman kicked the living shit out of every single joker he saw.
actually I think there was a photo for the paper where it showed a good 15 jokers punching batman
link plz
No really, everyone who's trying to imitate the joker ends up looking like a 5 cent whore.
Closet pimps.
