Making Skulls

Hi there haunters! (the small percentage of this blog’s readers who care about Halloween, anyway)

To be brief, I did a 3 part tutorial series on YouTube over the last few weeks, so I wanted to collect them in one place. If you’d like to know how to make something like the image above, have a watch!

First, a prelude.

And now, the tutorial itself.

A Glorious Homemade Horror Show

Machine is a very ambitious steampunk-themed experience built by twins Gavin and Jason Fox. It was made to be enjoyed by their friends, however given Machine’s newfound popularity on the internet, it makes sense that they plan on doing something for the general public next time.

I invite you to watch the video walkthrough of this homemade masterpiece — an 18-month-in-the-making labour of love — but be sure to stick around afterward. The ‘how it was done’ video that I’ll post at bottom is equally fascinating.

And now, watch how Machine was executed with the Engineer’s View. Absolutely inspiring.
