What this video covers
SKS Props walks through a full craft foam pumpkin build inspired by the DnD Mimic creature, covering every stage from rough cutting to finished decoration. A hot knife is used to carve the base pumpkin form, while EVA HD foam and foam clay add sculpted detail and texture. Painting is handled with a combination of Liquitex acrylics and Createx airbrush paints for a polished, layered finish. A standout technique involves crafting expressive monster eyes from Christmas bulbs and foam clay.
