Oogie Boogie!

[IAmJPru]

For Halloween I was debating between making a Kevin Flynn Costume or an Oogie Boogie costume.
I decided both!
Though, Kevin will come later.
For now I decided to start working on Oogie Boogie.
I have never done anythinglike this before. Started out and got immediately overwhelmed.
I am an ultranoob... So I AM OPEN TO SUGGESTIONS!!!!
I decided to start by making the head mask because I figured it would take the most work!
Pics in a spoiler.(assuming I can do so! ill find out in a second xD)
I have not finished this , infact I started today.
I'll update as I go.
Would love feedback.

Anyway, for the head, basic premisis is to build a wireframe for the burlap and then cover it.
Eyes will be a black mesh, and the mouth with have a black satin.

Man! I'll be following this thread enthusiastically, because Oogie Boogie was the best part of Nightmare.

Oogie Boogie man! Awesome! Good luck to you, I'm looking forward to seeing it.

man i can't wait to see this..... every Oogie Boogie Ive ever seen has turned out excellent, and I'm sure this one will too.
This reminds me, I should probably start watching on my Jack Skellington prosthetic if i want to have it done for Halloween....

Ganna be scrapping this wireframe and going to be switching to a thicker utility wire.
will be smoother and a lot for a bit more ease of building/sewing.
Last bit of this wireframe though


Me scrapping this wireframe does not mean I am scrapping the project.
Will update the thread when I get the new wire and everything.

My wife did it with sewing some burlap sacks together. She put a compartment inside and stuffed it with pillow stuffing for the stomach... One of our friends wore it... He said it was extremely hot...
