+NeonBlackHeartAttack yep! Clear resin is tricky, it looks great but it can be hard and expensive. This technique will give you good looking eyes either way :)
This is a really creative technique! I love realistic eyes but never liked the follow-me effect because, like you, I love the performing aspect of fursuiting/cosplaying and want it to be obvious where the creature is looking. I'll definitely give this a try. Thank you so much for sharing this with us. :'3
I've watched this 4 times, and I'm still amazed. These eyes are so unbelievably cool and realistic! The depth you created with the different colors and the sculpting is just incredible. The finished monster head is AMAZING. You are seriously talented!
just would like to say... how in the world do you not have more subscribers?!? you have amazing techniques and have awesome vids! can't wait to see more tutorials or just vids on your costumes/creations :D
This is very old now but I’m making a puppet and wanted to use this method but was NOT having any luck with my technique. I just found this video and I can tell already that this is going to make it 100 times easier and overall better so thank you!
amazing! thank you for this great explanation! and it is nice that you added an explanation about the difference between resin cast eyes with a flat back and these eyes :)
Thank you for sharing. I am making a Claris (a mouse) costume for my daughter for book week and the eyes were the thing that I had no idea how to create. Your work looks amazing
Great eyes and tutorial. If you wanted to actually see thru them, use a piece of lenses from sun glasses. I am working on see thru eyes for costumes and it works out great, especially if the costume eye is close to your real one.
Nice job, very creative. I sculpt busts and creatures out of clay and cast them or use super sculpey for smaller sculpts, not so much cosplay so it's really interesting to see the methods you guys come up with. I really like your wolf creature, the eyes and mouth are so cool.
If you don't have isopropyl myristate, you can use gentle heat from a heat gun or hairdryer for removing fingerprints from monster clay. If you're not careful it will melt the whole thing though.
how do u see out of it?🤔 I love how you did the eyes and I will try that technique to I'm a young furry and I'm trying to learn as much as I can about making fursuits thank you so much for this inspiration😁
+rainbow wings with this technique you would have to have your vision come out of the mouth or have a mesh in the tear duct area(right next to the eye) of the suit right that you can see through
Kazplay Videos okay that's how I usually see out of mine is just when I seen Gray-Mane it looked like he had like in the tear ducts a little space to see but it looks a little too small to see if so I assume that maybe you saw the mouth of him he is really cool keep up the great work😁
Tiny Badger here on YT linked me to this from her recent dragon puppet. These are beautiful eyes. I started off wondering why you didn't just use acrylic cabuchons and a printed eye but then when the camera zoomed in on the head and the eyes ate the end and i saw the depth of detail that came through in just a video I didn't have to wonder. The depth of detail in person must be striking.
Wow!! Thank you so so so much! Many artists spend lots and lots of time experimenting and finding techniques to make their work,and it means so much for you to share this with all of us. Thank you!💙💙keep up the amazing work :) you've got a new sub 😄
+Kiwipiwi you're very welcome! You can count on me sharing my findings because I want to help elevate the craft as a whole. Thank you very much for the sub!!
Thank you so much for making this!!! I saw your suits on youtube and I found out it was you through Monoyasha. Again thank you so much and your work is awesome!!!
I sculpt and hope you don't mind if I add a tip. If you can't get any isopropyl myristate, lighter fluid or naptha works well. You have to let it sit for a few minutes before working with it so the clay dries.
I just tried building my first head today. It didn't go so well. I'm thinking I might try what you do.. but now I'm trying to figure out how I'd look out of it XD
Thank you for sharing! I've loved watching your progress on Hogger, that's how I found you (on Twitter), and I've been looking through your backlogs since. I'll definitely have to try this technique out once I have reason to. For future reference, do you think white/other colors of craft foam could be used for the sclera? Or do you think it wouldn't work out/would show because of the black backing for the pupil? I could always try it out and let you know, haha.
+Fox Mulder I have done it with a off white/brownish sclera on a Lynx cosplay I made earlier this year and it worked well! I just painted the black foam (it wasn't too hard) you can use white or another color foam, just put a small piece of black fabric or foam just over the hole in the back before doing the whole sclera bit :)
@@Cafanathaw the vision would be very poor, like looking through straws. You could make the eyes and pupils huge to help. I never like to say never so give it a try, but wouldn't recommend it.
you're not meant to see through the eyes, my Greymane cosplay had vision through the mouth. A common method to use with this method is called tear duct vision, you make an extra space and use a mesh in the tear duct area to see through
Thank you so much for sharing! i'm so grateful for your tutorials, it surely helps my life time passion and you're such an inspiration, love what you do. Please continue to make videos of your art and share it with us :)
Nope! you cannot see out of these eyes, you would have to use vision out of the mouth (as my greymane cosplay does) or use what is called tear duct vision
I have done that! It looks cool but can't be a little tricky getting rid of bubbles. I even added a tiny bit of white pigment to give my goatman eyes a milky blind look!
@@KazplayVideos OOOH I gotta check that out! Btw you've also saved my life. I was trying to figure out a unique way of pulling off this effect aside from doing that thing of just designing the eye on a halfway resin pour inside the mold, or using a printed design. This was so helpful!
There are a lot of similarities between this and painting gaming miniatures. Almost makes me wonder about adding a dark wash between the base coat and the dry brushing steps.
Yep! Washes would look great! My cheap acrylic paints don't handle them super well, so I don't use washes often, but I know it would add a lot of depth
Very cool!! Do you think it would be possible to replace the eyes on a latex mask with some like this? For reference, the mask I'd want to modify is the brimstone dragon mask if you want to google it
I haven't personally worked with latex masks, if you have a good way to attach it then it could work! I would probably recommend a smaller eye than what my kits are
Well, the pupil is a hole to the hollow inside so no drilling necessary on the new version of my kits :) the resin is opaque white though so I don't think it would glow that much, but I'd love to see the results of your experiment!
Ok, ok, I know this is a cheesy question and it's pretty annoying but, I was wondering if you do commisions?also this will be a big help in the future for me.
FINALLY an eye tutorial that doesent require resin!!! XD
+NeonBlackHeartAttack yep! Clear resin is tricky, it looks great but it can be hard and expensive. This technique will give you good looking eyes either way :)
Exactly! Thank you!
Resin will still look the most realistic. Layers of resin and paint will blow your mind!
This is a really creative technique! I love realistic eyes but never liked the follow-me effect because, like you, I love the performing aspect of fursuiting/cosplaying and want it to be obvious where the creature is looking. I'll definitely give this a try. Thank you so much for sharing this with us. :'3
+BreezePleeze you're welcome! Can't wait to see what you do with it ^^
BreezePleeze hi

Thank you, I'm making 12mm eye's.for my bjd and these are the best eye's I've seen by far. Thank you.
How did it go? :3
After applying yellow I would clear coat and run dark colors into the scratches wiping off the excess.
You are seriously on a roll girl! This looks better than resin cast!
This video was everything I needed
OMG LOVE URS VIDS! Please start posting again :(
Aww :D
it looked like a dried pineapple ring for a while there x3
Yea xD
Lol yea

Very glad to hear, hope it works well for your puppet!
This is unbelievable. And beautiful, too!
Also your voice is so soothing and calm...
Nice!
+Lisa Vogel why thank you! ^^
amazing! thank you for this great explanation!
and it is nice that you added an explanation about the difference between resin cast eyes with a flat back and these eyes :)
+Little Kaori you're welcome! I'm glad you liked that, those differences are important!
Finally i can make realistic eyes with things i can easily buy! Thank you!
This was actually the most detailed and easy to follow tutorial I've seen, thx for this it was really helpful!
+Megan Etzel youre welcome! ^^ thanks for the compliment

Thank you! and good luck with your build!
This is awesome, thanks so much for the tutorial. I always find it so interesting the new techniques people can create. The eyes are stunning!

You've certainly inspired me!
Jewelry making using silver and stones

I really really want to make a realistic Gigalith quadsuit, so I should start watching your videos.
Great eyes and tutorial. If you wanted to actually see thru them, use a piece of lenses from sun glasses. I am working on see thru eyes for costumes and it works out great, especially if the costume eye is close to your real one.
Absolutely gorgeous!! I'm so happy to have found your channel.
Huuuge fan of the arakkoa and worgen. These eyes are amazing too!
bealtiful!!
Loved the tutorial. You explained it very well. Till now I never really understood this eye build style. I'll have to try it myself sometime
+Lindsay Reddick let me know when you do try it, I would love to see!
Genn Greymane cosplay? Hell yeah!
Nice job, very creative. I sculpt busts and creatures out of clay and cast them or use super sculpey for smaller sculpts, not so much cosplay so it's really interesting to see the methods you guys come up with. I really like your wolf creature, the eyes and mouth are so cool.
Thank you!

definitely going to try my hand at these. there is so much detail in these eyes ^-^
Excellent work -your work is amazing! Thank you so much for being generous enough to allow insight into this technique!
+CFF Costumes thanks ^^ doing what I can to enrich the community!

Glad you found me! There are different advantages and disadvantages with each eye method but I'm glad you like these eyes!
Thank you for the beautiful, realistic eye tutorial!! This will make it much easier to make a fursuit or cosplay! : D
This is the only reason i watch videos on RUclips.
Thanks! This will help my fursuit making!

An interesting, different take on eye sculpting.
Thanks!
Awesome idea! way better than using messy resin. thank you for sharing :)
This is so helpful! I love how detailed it is. Thanks for uploading!!
It's really cool and nice done
very creative! Thanks for sharing with us!
You're welcome!
You're welcome!
Thank you! I can remove the ugly ones from my fursuit and add these!
Very crafty! I really enjoyed watching your tutorial. Thanks from Argentina! =)
+Max Ardohain awesome! Thanks for watching :)
Great technique & simple!
Thank you!
Really awesome concise video. Thank you so much.
Thank you so much for making this!!! I saw your suits on youtube and I found out it was you through Monoyasha. Again thank you so much and your work is awesome!!!
I am so using this technique for my future quadsuit!! I want to try to make realistic eyes again that don't actually follow you for once!
+Tundra the Kitten be sure to show me the results! I'd love to see!
Kazplay Videos will do!^^
I love this. Man you're awesome and so talented. Wish I could make me a wolf costume like that 😍 Really love it.
Thank you!
Thanks for the great tutorial!
You do beautiful work!
Love music in background
Nice fursuit and cool eyes its its beautiful
Fascinating video. Need eyes for a robot that the eyes are servo motor activated. Your idea would work if I could find 25 mm half domes. 😊
I sculpt and hope you don't mind if I add a tip. If you can't get any isopropyl myristate, lighter fluid or naptha works well. You have to let it sit for a few minutes before working with it so the clay dries.
Isopropyl myristrate is good stuff when working with monster clay :)
Kazplay Videos 100% agreed. Keep up the good work! Your videos are helping me with a foam and due cosplay of my own.
this is perfect for my friends fursuit and mine
You can also use acetone to smooth out the fingerprints.
Yes you can!
best tutorial ever! thank you
Just bought some globes, can’t wait to try these for my Halloween props! Do you have a tutorial on how you make his teeth?
I don't, but it was essentially just sculpting them, then casting them out of resin, then painting
Just what I wanted! Thanks a whole bunch!
+BlackStarWing333 youre welcome ^^
It looks so real
Thank you!
I will use these for my wool sculptures
Great idea used these domes before for many projects, I real like the depth you get, could these be used in a blinking eye puppet do you think?
Honestly I think it could work! Tiny1badger made a blinking puppet with chrismast ornaments
Can’t wait ^^ I’ll be ordering some soon
Great, thank you!
I love it!
That is so cool, thank you! Especially for selling these!
You're welcome!
I love the music.
I just tried building my first head today. It didn't go so well. I'm thinking I might try what you do.. but now I'm trying to figure out how I'd look out of it XD

Waaaaay better than acrylic eyes. I use children's swim goggles for the lenses. But will use the globes.
I love it... thx for the idea.
awesome. by the way your eyes are beautiful
THIS IS PERFECT FOR MY DRAGON PUPPET IMA MAKE SOON :D
This is an excellent technique, thank you. Is there a way to make these eyes so you can see through them.?
@@Cafanathaw the vision would be very poor, like looking through straws. You could make the eyes and pupils huge to help. I never like to say never so give it a try, but wouldn't recommend it.

I’d like to see the texturizing in real time, up close - at least the first few strokes of each tool.
That's a good idea, I can revisit this tutorial
Eres increíble muy bien
Omg that is amazing
Ganz supergut einfach toll
Awesome 😎 Thanks 🙏
You're welcome!
amazing jobbbb
Thank you very much, you helped me a lot!
Amazing... Subscribed
Very cool
Thanks!
This is awesome and all but can you see out of the eyes?
Nope! you cannot see out of these eyes, you would have to use vision out of the mouth (as my greymane cosplay does) or use what is called tear duct vision
Have you ever considered incasing the eye in resin inside the dome? Maybe give it that natural watery effect!
I have done that! It looks cool but can't be a little tricky getting rid of bubbles. I even added a tiny bit of white pigment to give my goatman eyes a milky blind look!
@@KazplayVideos OOOH I gotta check that out! Btw you've also saved my life. I was trying to figure out a unique way of pulling off this effect aside from doing that thing of just designing the eye on a halfway resin pour inside the mold, or using a printed design. This was so helpful!
@@Denizen-Unknown cool! Can't wait to see what you do with it!
Thanks for this video! Would this work with air dry clay?
Yep! Should work just fine, there will be a bit of shrinking so keep that in mind
Is very beautiful! But I have a question, how do you see inside the fantasy?
Oh the white werewolf I see out of the mouth
@@KazplayVideos COOL!!!! 😁
Thanks a lot!
Great!

Can you do a tutorial on how to make a realistic eye you can see through
If I figure out how to I probably will make a tutorial
What can i use besides the clear bulbs
I just watch a bunch of simply nailogical videos, and I was wondering if anyone had tried painting eyes like this with holo dust.
+Marley Cameron I haven't tried that yet, but I imagine that it would look fantastic :)
Marley Cameron HECK YEAH IT WOULD! HOLO EYES WOULD FREAKING ROCK THIS HOLLOWEEN! 👀😃😎
Holosexuals for life
This is genius!!
I love these eyes. My one question is if I wanted to use this technique for led eyes where do you think the best place to put the leds would be?
+jediintraining that is exactly what I want to expirement with next, and will be in the part two of this tutorial :)
I feel finally home ..hellow monster family 😊

How did you do the casting? That was the main thing i was wondering about
I have a part two ruclips.net/video/KrLGnCC0C8E/видео.htmlsi=Ib51bjFMapDthWxZ
Hi is there any way i can drill a hole in the eyes to put led lights in there, im buying one of your eye kits to make my own, i love the cosplay btw!
Well, the pupil is a hole to the hollow inside so no drilling necessary on the new version of my kits :) the resin is opaque white though so I don't think it would glow that much, but I'd love to see the results of your experiment!
@@KazplayVideos okay :D I'll definitely be posting the finished results on my yt channel, I'm definitely going be purchasing 3 of the eye kits! Tysm
Ok, ok, I know this is a cheesy question and it's pretty annoying but, I was wondering if you do commisions?also this will be a big help in the future for me.
I do not do commissions, sorry! But glad this tutorial will help you
