#Max Headcrab
Text
Since I pretty much tore the headcrab zombie mask down to just the base yesterday, I'm trying to figure out the best angle & pose for the new rigid forelimbs. I want them to look like they're jabbing into the host's chest while at rest and in an aggressive threat display when raised. I think I finally got it looking about how I want it, at least from the side profile-
#🎃 Cryptid Sighting#🎃 Photographic Evidence#Max Headcrab#Cosplay#Cosplay wip#The arms raise thanks to a simple lever mechanism that gets toggled when I open my jaw#The final mechanism will be hands-free. Just holding the interior jaw piece in place here to test out positioning#These have been the first couple days off in a while that I've mostly stayed home- it's been nice!#I’ve been going through my notes on this cosplay since it’s been so long since I started it. Lots I’d forgotten!#There's definitely a benefit to the hindsight you gain after detaching yourself from a project for this long#It's easier to pick & choose through all the ideas that had once ALL been beholden to me- & toss the mid ones#I'm still not confident that this will turn out as well as I had hoped#but I'll feel better to say I did the damn thing than if I forever waffle over the exact perfect way to do it#Gotta remind myself that I'm still a cosplay novice and that I've never made something like this. It's not going to be perfect & that's ok#*sounds of agony trying to beat the perfectionism down with a crowbar- but that bitch fights back*

Thank you Resonance Cascade Day for guilting me into working on the headcrab zombie mask again uwu
I had hoped to have something worth showing off for the occasion -especially since this year is Half Life’s 25th anniversary- but I haven’t been able to bring myself to work on it for months. But I felt like I had to at least work on it today. Do something with it. And I uh, well … I basically tore apart the old wip mask, leaving only the headcrab-body base and mechanism for animating the front legs intact. So not quite starting from scratch, but close to it. And it’s not pretty SGDSGDSFDS.
Tonight’s been mostly working on mock-ups for the new front legs in order to get the angles just right and definitely overthinking the whole thing as usual lol.
But GOOD GOSH is it nice to feel some motivation to work on this beast again.
Since I feel like I have to meet quota of having at least One (1) headcrab on this post but don’t have any wip photos to show for it, there’s a gross lil’ spooky guy below the readmore v
#🎃 Cryptid sighting#Max Headcrab#This makes the 3rd reworking of this damned mask?! Let’s hope third time’s the charm.#I MUST have it ready for our comic con in September. I’ll be furious with myself if I don’t
