I'd love to see how to make these bat wing from zero. That would be great for a tutorial!

Wow Ted,this is your best cosplay's tool you make,awesome!

Oh No Evil Ted has gone Batty! :) Excellent work as always!

Nice video Ted! Interesting airbrushing techniques, can't wait to get into airbrushing myself.

Yes, an airbrush is a life saver for me when it comes to painting.

Hey Ted! I met you today at the C4 comic con, I was cosplaying as RedHood it was so amazing to meet you

I've seen other youtubers make wings from scratch. I'd rather do like you did and start with a per-built back pack.

Wow ted they look so good I love the paint job it just got me thinking about a Halloween costume

Yes, do it!

Gargoyle cosplay is about to make a revival with those wings

cool!! could you have made the wings from a thin layer of latex or would it be to heavy or stick together or something??

Well done Evil Ted, I am planning on making a set of dragon wings for Halloween. I will be using a linear actuator for mine tho as they are going to be larger to fit my body. Your video looks much more easier to follow.

muy bueno.gracias por compartir . thanks for share exelente

Love it! :)

They look so real

I had a set similar to these, mine had a 6 foot wing span & were about a 1.5 feet from edge to tail. They worked great but i have to rebuild them, the cord anchor point at the pivot came loose then the frame itself broke so its in serious need of tlc. Was kinda hopinh to see truely autmated wings instead of the pull cord, maybe using small servos linked to a button actuator

I'm a big fan of low tech, when it comes to costume making. There are videos out there on wings that move with servos, check them out.

@@EvilTedSmith I usually am as well, however the gauntlets for that costume (the one in my profile pic) make using the rings very difficult, necessitating the need for motorised wings.

Great video Ted. As always. Quick question, do you just thinking down regular acrylics with alcohol for airbrush paints or do you use airbrush specific paints? Airbrush paints are not as accessible or economical in India, so was wondering if there was a cheaper alternative or technique that you might know. Thanks in advance. ✌️

Yes, I have thin down acrylic paint with water to spay them with an airbrush. Alcohol mixed with acrylics turn in to clumps. I understand completely. I had no money to get supplys when I started.

Evil Ted Smith thanks for the reply. It's always helpful.

What is that joint / connection type called? I'd like to make gelfling wings that 'pop out' from underneath a cloak. These look like the perfect mechanics. Not sure how to find parts!

I have a links for the wings listed below the video.

using an exacto blade is way better for cutting faux fur! draw your pattern or whatever on the back and cut from the back, you wont cut nearly as much hair off as with scissors

Thanks for the tip

Because if they fly I will buy them

All of your videos are amazing! At what age did you start making this stuff? I'm a concept artist and I would love to make my concepts real but I've never did something remotely similar and I'm already 23 years old

Maybe you could add two steppermotors and an adurino to program different kind of flutter.

Not making mechanical bat wings, it's modifying them.
