  • In 2018, Beverly Downen of Downen Creative Studios went viral with her incredible Hela costume and super accurate (and adjustable!) headdress. For New York Comic Con 2019, she rebuilt and improved her suit, which in part included a technique of adding texture to fabric that totally impressed Adam Savage!

    Beverly could not put on the headdress, which she'd borrowed from the Smooth-On booth. For a photo of her with the headdress on, go to her site, specifically here: downencreativestudios.com/?p=2142

      @@coregeek Ah, thanks for the info. Figured she'd have a headdress for herself too since she's all dressed up. And I wish they showed the stand that you had made. I actually kind of expected the camera to pan towards the stand when Adam placed the headdress back. But, alas, it was not meant to be.

    Adam's enthusiasm is infectious. I love how he blends fan boy excitedness with his expertise knowledge base. He compares notes with materials and techniques that few other people that interview could probably pull off. He also never attempts to instruct or be condescending which is just wonderful when watching someone of his experience. At the same time those he interviews seem to value his input and often give credit to him when applicable. Just a wonderful thing to watch.

    Those of you wanting to see full outfit shots check out her instagram or website. I it seems like she doesn't wear the wig when wearing the headpiece so she may not have been able to wear it during the interview if she' was wearing a wig or if it was her real hair she might need to put it up. But I agree some shots edited in would have been nice.
