I saw a bunch of comments wondering where this dude went, so I did a little research. someone here in the comments said fox news did a video about him. searching the video, I found out it was just some old re-upload of when he was still considered active on the movie geek channel, I did some more digging and I found out he now works at "Pluralsight" as an author and video editor. Hopefully he's doing good! he's probably moved on from the costume making, but I'm not too sure.
i love that you show your trial and error/learning process... it's super helpful when learning to know what not to do and why without having to make the mistakes yourself
Alex, you are an ingenious amateur artist. I admire your determination and application. Working with few resources and a lot of trial and error, you arrive at finished work that may be a little rough around the edges, but is all the more impressive for being crafted by one pair of hands. I hope that you continue experimenting; include newer materials, and post videos here on UA-cam.
I'm seriously impressed with the effort of this,you have a lot of ambition and I can only see you getting better and better with every project. Thanks for posting! just subbed:)
dude thats sick man! looks great! I'm highly interested in getting into molding and casting and making my own mask, and different molds, watching your videos has very much inspired this. Thank you man!
I like how in the beginning you talk about not having much time to work on this project, but everything you do to mold it just takes more and more time to unmold.
im just saying this because I get the hinting feeling that he's only calling them "stilts" because it may make him feel emasculated to just call them what they are; heels.
Hey Alex, I just wanted to say that your videos are great. I want to make a werewolf costume for Halloween next year, but I had no idea where to start. Your videos provided a cost effective and comprehensive way to get the job done. Keep up the great work! Oh yeah, you just got a new subscriber too.
You need to upload more videos. You have helped sooo much in understanding how to make my costumes and you make the coolest stuff :D Hope you get job in the movie business someday
I'm sure you have a bunch of marriage proposals so I won't add to them, but these videos are amazing and remind me that Halloween doesn't end after trick-or-treating age. When I have moneys for materials, definitely gonna venture into the DIY monster mask realm.
One of the most amazing things I've ever seen ! Their creativity and commitment are amazing! Congratulations!!! (Uma das coisas mais incríveis que eu já vi! Sua criatividade e empenho são incríveis. Meus parabéns!!!)
Here's a tip: if you want the suit to be very form fitting, try casting them a little bit too small so they will stretch and snap back onto your skin, and in order to have that really work, try using silicone instead.
@ 4:14 acetone (found in nail polish) melts Styrofoam, just in case it happens again... just note that acetone makes the tiny air bubbles in styrofoam to pop, leaving behind a rigid, solid piece of plastic: if you act fast, it can be poured out before it stiffens too much...
I'm in the learning process on this stuff as well. The best way I've found for the wall is to use something like tin, or thin metal strips to support the back of a clay wall, then make the initial wall bout 3 or 4 inches tall. On the edges of the wall, make another small wall, maybe an inch or so, coming back at you in order to make a smooth edge that can't bleed to the other side or make it difficult to tell the two halfs apart. I use clay to make another small wall coming at me on the back side of the main wall in order to make the second wall have smooth edges and be an inch or so shorter than the front. Then use ratchet stall to pull them together, with a later of Vaseline between the walls to help seal. Awesome job though sir.
(for future reference, if in case you need to take out the styrofoam again, acetone dissolves the foam, and I would suggest plastic shims for the mold separation, but it looks amazing! Great job!)
I love Cthulhu. The mystery of the beast. It's actually described as a god of a sort. Watching this video was amazing. To see this enormous being come to life...damn. I loved it. Well done.
wow the amount of work people put into cosplaying is crazy! the dedication and creativity can be seen through this man's video. Awesome job man! (:
ชอบ
Wait till you see the Kamen Rider cosplays

+LinkB612 Same!
+LinkB612 this is my homework... lol
My homework is learning an I not learning? ( I tell my teacher ) XD
+LinkB612 There is no homework. Only Cthulhu.
ThatCrazyStranger YES :O
That was a lot of work, and making the video probably was too. Thanks for sharing that so other people can learn from your experience!
I love how you point out how many set backs there were. Nothing can stop creativity! :D

What happened to this guy? last video was 3 years ago.
Fr
he has a cooking channel now, it’s equally meticulous and entertaining.
@@ARMTOAST where???
@@OvnicentAparatus it’s called Foodie Findings, he links it in his most recent video on this channel!
I like that you show you are learning as you go along and don't skip over mistakes. Mistakes are great learning tools.
This is incredible! As are you. Well done. So inventive and creative. I love it!
Im agree
I love it too

by looking at you, that narrating doesn't seems your voice at all.
Alex your builds are absolutely phenomenal. Please keep doing what your doing. They've really inspired not only myself but others as well.
Honestly not the most high quality latex pieces I've seen, but the best fullbody latex costume.
Lol, looks like Cthulu's stoner cousin.

You could have used acetone to melt the styrofoam in a few seconds.
Indeed
You know what, I'm gonna have to remember that.

This was fascinating

Dude, where did you go?
I don't know how to put into words how awesome this is, it's friggin AMAZING
Awesome job.
Wow, I don't usually comment, but I had to this time. Super super super impressed, cant believe how amazing the end result looked. Amazing job.
You need to be a movie costume artist
Talk about nostalgia bro.. HOPE UR GOOD ALEX!
Anyone know where this guy went?
I came here wondering the same thing
You put a lot of time and effort into your project. Practice makes perfect. Thanks for sharing. Great job.
Bruh where this man at
I remember watching this dude 5 years ago
Did the crawfish rot eventually?
I think he only uses their shell, so they shouldn't rot
Dude! Seriously awesome video. Your ingenuity is inspiring.
Holy fuxkin shit, what an excellent work, art, whatever, omg, so cool!
MAJOR props to you man! For something made in so little time, it looks fantastic! :D
You can use aceton to desolve styrofoam.
Alex this was well done on a budget of limited time and cash. Very cool!
Stilts....? You mean high heels right?
+Kristoph Levi some do go with high heels. other go with stilts.
+Kristoph Levi its sorta similar to high heels X3 but it has more support
LaynaBlazez AJ those are wedges
im just saying this because I get the hinting feeling that he's only calling them "stilts" because it may make him feel emasculated to just call them what they are; heels.

Pls post again
you are the single most patient human being on the planet.
what happen to the foot stilts?
he put them on after he put the costume on. The bottom part of the costume covers it so its fine
You need to upload more videos. You have helped sooo much in understanding how to make my costumes and you make the coolest stuff :D Hope you get job in the movie business someday
He hasn't been active for a very long time. I'm believing to think something happened to him.
He's actually fine and has started focusing on a new channel - ua-cam.com/channels/lcfmgzRdUERbXfORY8xe1A.html
@@thejessifar4619 yeah and stopped
I really enjoy watching your videos! I think they are relaxing and you have a good sense of humor :)

THIS IS SO MUCH WORK!!! Congrats for the patience and for the idea!

All hail the great Cthulhu
Lots of hard work and Trial and error has paid off. It looks great
Nice South Park PJ's
Thats pretty cool that you made all that from scratch! Could have been store bought. I liked the Cthulhu dance at the end!
Yo what happened to him?
This is excellent work, man! The crawfish moment, though... that was a stroke of genius
DADDY😩👌🏾 lmfao anyways this costume look so cool.
Impressive. This is really inspiring me to get out and go make my own costumes.

Go on face off wtf
+Sfx Queen th==wtf you said
I like How he Says He Didn't Really Like it And It Bad Ass
wow, I'm learning a lot with your tutorials. Going to use this for the base of my Necron Lord cosplay.
This may not be the right place for this. But guy alone in the toilet with a vaseline jar...
You are right it is not the right place.
@@Taurus791 Still works though. Vaseline jar, not very Lovecraftian either.

Somebody get this guy a body form! I would, but you know, I'm poor.
+GummyTumor He can just go to ebay and get one used from an old clothing store.
I plan to do something like this, mine will be Meg Mucklebones from Ridley Scott's legend, so thx for the info, I really needed it👍👍👍👍👍
Just a question, are the stilts comfortable, I may do lord darkness next for a renaissance faire, which involves a lot of walking
i hope u went to the bathroom before wearing it :P
I liked the Cthulhu dance at the end!
Very creative! We all start somewhere and you did a great job....
Really good job, considering budget and that you never did this before, it came out great.
Awesome effort. It's always fun to learn so much from endeavors like this. May your next project be even more impressive!
You know you're awesome, right? Very creative with the crayfish, I wouldn't be surprised if you are the first person to use that for cosplay.
holy crap! Nice job man its all fantastic and how much clay is it per block? Also it looks kinda like the district 9 alien guy
i loved the south park pants hahahah also, that's VERY difficult! congrats 👏👏👏

Loved it gave me some grate ideas for my latex piece I will be making if there are any tips you could give me I would be very grateful
damn son that's some true commitment, work paid off it looks great
Man!!! You are truly amazing! Love and admire your dedication. Thanks for sharing.
He changed the thumbnail. HE IS ALIVE
nice! was that the comic con in Salt Lake City? I live in Taylorsville! I love the the dark knight mask !
Green Soap is an old potters trick to use on the inside of your molds. It makes it easier to release the clay.
This was super helpful! Thank You! If I remember I'll send you pictures of the piece I will make using this method.
Gonna use these same techniques to make my own Batsuit! Really awsome work with your suit though. Very, very creative.
I love Cthulhu. The mystery of the beast. It's actually described as a god of a sort. Watching this video was amazing. To see this enormous being come to life...damn. I loved it. Well done.
Cool resourcefulness. Not bad for a low budget costume, not bad at all. Thanks for sharing. I really enjoyed watching.
looks great for the time and effort you put into it. I really like the forms on the sculpture
WOW! You have talent and a lot of patience.
You have an incredible amount of patience.
Dude, you truly amaze me. Congratulations, this is brilliant
Good work, nice that you have taken up the creation process as detailed
this was awesome! i got so much inspiration from this! thanks for the vid and i hope you upload more if you are going to make another costume!
