Make Me a Mummy at MOSI

I was able to submit a bid and won to MOSI (museum of science and industry of tampa). I was pretty excited to create living and walking mummies for their “Make Me a Mummy” event. It was very family friendly so they wanted people who would look like mummies but not scare anyone.

This was my first attempt at a mummy design, prior to seeing any actual mummies.

this one is to duplicate their ad.

After seeing the real mummies, I was able to conceptualize the design a little more. I made this ad for them to use for the event. It is my face painted and it is designed to look like their promo.

Final Mock Up for Video

After I finished the costumes I was able to do the design and really finish it with the costume. I am really excited about the event.

Final with a different camera, shows costume

I started with a muslim type of dress and stained it with everything I could find. I used Faux Fur for the top and stained it and airbrushed it with dark brown. I took twine for the edges to make it look like a prehistoric shrug. The other model’s outfit is more of an egyptian skirt with a long sweater jacket without sleeves. They wanted his torso partially covered so that is the reason for the jacket. Here is a step by step mummy design I did for the event. I hope you enjoy and let me know what you can come up with yourself.
