Twitch And The Orc Project, Creating Orc Prosthetics

The Orc Project

We are heading into our busy season and I’m trying to get a few projects out before it gets too crazy.  My latest undertaking is a new Twitch channel where I’ve been streaming “The Orc Project”. This includes sculpting  custom multi-piece silicone orc prosthetics, plus a stock silicone orc nose, possibly in two sizes.  I’ve already cast stock

orc ears which are available in our shop. The silicone orc prosthetics are ideal for larping or cosplay in addition the silicone allows greater facial expression.

I’ve been broadcasting my sculpting projects two times a week and I hope to keep that up for the foreseeable future. Saturday nights at 8pm I host a cocktails and chill sculpting event which I highly recommend. I’m including this link to my channel;  you should definitely check it out. If you think twitch is just for gamers you’re wrong they have a whole section dedicated to creatives from an elf harpist to potters to cosplay crafters, you name it and there’s a channel for it.

Setting Up My Stream

Live streaming requires a whole other set of skills. Setting up lighting, cameras and mic’s was definitely challenging.  The internet has no end of tips and tutorials and I made use of many of them. Then there’s the broadcast software. Fortunately I have my technical adviser (Mom) to help when it comes to all the nitty-gritty of configuring the software. The cost was relatively low since the software is free and I haven’t invested in a pricey mic as of yet. The upside was that I was forced to organize my work environment and I now have dedicated time to focus on designing new stuff.

My Goals

I’d like to complete the silicone orc prosthetics by the end of the month. I’ll be finishing up my half-elf ears on my next episode (08/09/18) and with any luck I’ll have them cast by the end of the week. The orc ears are available now in both stock skin-tones and custom colors. Look for the new pieces in the Geekling store by September. I’m including a picture of the new orc ears but it is a preliminary photo. I haven’t had time for new product photography. Hopefully I can squeeze some time in for that.

Its been a great experience so far. I’ve had some really entertaining conversations and made time for my creative endeavors. I look forward to my next project and I will definitely use this space to post updates. I look forward to seeing you on the channel!
