Halloween is when I get to go all out. To fully experiment and stretch myself. With Belmont I wanted to be unrecognizable by close friends. AND I WAS!

The visuals in the ‘Castlevania: Lords of Shadow’ game series actually got me to buy a video. I don’t really play video games and I made my husband play this for me just so I could watch the art. I blended two versions. Gabriel at his height of power and his withered awakening after centuries.

This was a massive build. With a hand laced wig, upper and lower teeth,  half a body sculpt, and all the intricate details. Rings, custom fabric, custom trim … that belt!!  I even sculpted that little face peeking through the one arm wrap.

I had to make a 5′ 3″ female into a tall, shirtless male. The chest turned out great, and I learned a lot about casting gloves for arms/hands. The height I achieved was almost 6 feet.
