Ewok Mask & Creature Suit

Hello!
I’m an FX artist & thought this would be fun to make for my girls Halloween costumes. This is a very simplified version of a creature suit I make for film. Modify where you need to and get creative with what you have! Hope you enjoy 😊

You’ll need:
• PJ onesie (tighter is better than loose)
• upholstery foam - 3 inch
• stuffing
• glue gun & a few bags of hot glue sticks
• faux fur
• thick sewing needle
• 2 part modeling epoxy
• plastic spheres - 2 inch
• cheap bear mask
• Tim Algore paints
• acrylic paints - browns, taupe, reds, etc.
• tacky glue
• scissors

Make sure everything fits nicely & that you have enough fur

1. Reference photos are key in creating a creature suit or sculpting, so find good reference photos of the Ewok you’d like to make.
2. Add the upholstery foam to the areas you need to bulk up with hot glue - Ewoks need thick thighs, butts, and wastes - then cut/shave off where needs be

Add fur by a mixture of sewing & hot gluing over the foam pieces. This is best done on the model or a mannequin. As you slowly add fur, also add stuffing

1. Fit the plastic spheres over the eye sockets, sculpt the facial features onto a basic/cheap bear mask. Again, find reference photos! I used two part epoxy sculpt for this.
2. Add Tim gore paints (or another translucent paint) to the inside of the plastic spheres so they’re dark, but not opaque (like sunglasses).
3. Paint the facial features
4. Apply tacky glue to the surfaces where fur needs to be applied and attach the fur. Refer to photos for fur direction and placement.
