Creature Eye Tutorial -Part 1: How to make realistic fake eyes for your monster cosplay
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 3 июл 2024
- Watch to learn the tools and techniques I used to create the eyes on my worgen cosplay, Genn Greymane that I took to Blizzcon 2016. This is my first tutorial video and I hope you enjoy and give making some creature eyes for your beastly cosplays. I also have a discussion about the different effect you get from this eye technique vs a resin fursuit eye. Remember to embrace your inner beast!
(Aug 2020 update) I have made an improvement toy eye kit that makes it more user friendly, there are much less steps involved! I will make a new video about it soon but for now, here's new links to my kit that you can purchase and paint yourself! I split it up into three listings to hopefully keep things less confusing.

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
This video was everything I needed
OMG LOVE URS VIDS! Please start posting again :(
Aww :D
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!
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

You are seriously on a roll girl! This looks better than resin cast!
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 :)

Huuuge fan of the arakkoa and worgen. These eyes are amazing too!
It looks so real

Jewelry making using silver and stones

Can’t wait ^^ I’ll be ordering some soon
Great, thank you!
This is the only reason i watch videos on RUclips.
I love it... thx for the idea.
Omg that is amazing
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!
Very glad to hear, hope it works well for your puppet!
This is genius!!
Very crafty! I really enjoyed watching your tutorial. Thanks from Argentina! =)
+Max Ardohain awesome! Thanks for watching :)
amazing jobbbb
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!
That is so cool, thank you! Especially for selling these!
You're welcome!
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
Thank you! and good luck with your build!
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!!!
An interesting, different take on eye sculpting.
Thanks!
Nice fursuit and cool eyes its its beautiful
Thank you very much, you helped me a lot!
Just found this. Awesome!!
Very cool
Thanks!
awesome. by the way your eyes are beautiful
Love music in background
Awesome 😎 Thanks 🙏
You're welcome!
I love the music.
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!
Amazing... Subscribed
I really really want to make a realistic Gigalith quadsuit, so I should start watching your videos.
I will use these for my wool sculptures
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.
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!^^
Great!
Thank you! I can remove the ugly ones from my fursuit and add these!
Eres increíble muy bien
Ganz supergut einfach toll
Omg I love your voice!
Aww thank you!
Great vid :)
Parabéns pelo talento .
Thanks a lot!
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
That's what I was wondering about, too.
+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😁
I had the same question too but it looks like there are holes in the nose! 9:23
That is just amazing!!! Thanks so much for your amazing tutorial!
+Leundra you're welcome! Thanks for watching ^^
Beautiful!!!
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.
Awesome! Very helpful , keep going I sub.
Thank you very much!
Sooo cool I need these for my furry thanks you
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.
Glad you found me! There are different advantages and disadvantages with each eye method but I'm glad you like these eyes!
THIS IS PERFECT FOR MY DRAGON PUPPET IMA MAKE SOON :D
You can also use acetone to smooth out the fingerprints.
Yes you can!
I SUBSCRIBED!!!111
Thank you very much!
great. thanks! :)
cool
Thanks!
Thanks,
Waaaaay better than acrylic eyes. I use children's swim goggles for the lenses. But will use the globes.
nice job
+Xuen thank you xuen!
Wow so detailed :O
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
This is awesome and all but can you see out of the eyes?
bueniiiiiiisimo
Really amazing tutorial beautiful eyes the only concern I have is how well can you see through the eyes.
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
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
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.
Awsomecwirk
Thanks!
im a fury and using this :) thx
emily mccallion ew then your gross
@@epicfromepicgames8222 no, you are
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
What can i use besides the clear bulbs
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 :)
