Seven Deadly Sins - Envy (DISASTER)

This video follows makeup artist Madeyewlook as she creates an Envy-themed look for her Seven Deadly Sins series, leaning into reptilian and serpentine aesthetics with green body paint, gem embellishments, and a bald cap. The creator is candid about application challenges encountered during the process, calling it a 'disaster' — making the video as much a raw behind-the-scenes experience as a tutorial. Products from her own line alongside third-party brands are used throughout. The result is a striking, high-concept fantasy SFX look suitable for Halloween or cosplay.

Paint & Weather Your Droids - Star Wars IG88/ Mandalorian IG11

VanOaksProps walks through the full painting and weathering process for two 3D-printed IG-88 droid heads inspired by Star Wars and The Mandalorian. The workflow starts with a gloss black base coat followed by a chrome lacquer layer to achieve that signature metallic droid look. Acrylic paints in rust, orange, and brown tones are then layered on to simulate wear, grime, and battle damage, making the props look authentically aged. The build uses a 3D model sourced from Thingiverse and relies on tools and materials that are largely accessible to hobbyist prop makers.
