Last december, a friend of mine called me to help him with the dressing makeup and hairstyle for his short film.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bingo, I do not hesitate a second!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The short film's story is about the \"Shadows' King\" so I proposed to create a fantasy accessory so the actor can enter the character's mind. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

First step: <\/strong>Create a moodbard. I started to ask my friend some visual ideas to catch his vision of the story and the characters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Among these, this is the one I stepped upon\ud83d\udc47.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Impossible to find the exact source of the image unfortunately even with Google Lens. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

As the textures speak as much as the colors, I chose this image as the main inspiration. Shadows' King is a cold monster embodying our deepest fears. If we associate both ideas, we find this great parallel of dried paint on skin, hard to remove that can leave some scars. Perfect! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Second question: what can I make that can be pertinent? The answer to that was pretty fast to come across. A monster needs to be terryfyins and what is better than claws to check this? It's decided, I will create monster claws!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Second step:<\/strong> Create gloves. This is something I've never done before. Et not to make things easier, the actor that will wear it was not chosen yet -which means I cannot custom make it. I worked with my own hands measurements instead and cut larger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Off to buy fabric! I know what I'm looking for: fabric that's easy to sew, inexpensive, and above all, fabric that I can paint on. I finally decide on white polyester for the lining. The downside is that I have to put on the gloves without any elasticity in the material! I add another mesh-type fabric to sew cuffs that extend the gloves. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
