Well its been a long journey, still need to get a clean cast. This is a hand I patched up with flashing from the mold and some latex. I think the next one I make I will let sit in the mold for longer than two days. It never seems to cure fully. Now for pictures!
I know the pants are supposed to be blue, but I seemed to have mixed them up with seafoam green. ( Everything is sewn from scratch, I tried to order online, but was way too expensive. )
The slippers are also slightly inaccurate also, they need to be the ones with backs on them, though the colour is correct I think.
For paint I used artist quality acrylics mixed with latex. I used a combination of different quantities of red and black with fake blood (glycol variety) for the blood obviously. And I used cornstarch to get the dull parts of the hands dull (and the right colour suprisingly, though unintentional was the colour
). It's 2 am and I finished this sucker. Now I sleep and go to work to win the costume contest (its not going to be one of those bar contests ). I'll post some more progress stuff tomorrow.

So started on my halloween costume today.
I'll give you a few hints to start and post more photos when you guess correctly.
Hint number one: From a recent movie.
Hint number two: This is not the final armature
Good Luck!
edit: Heres one for scale.
