Hey /cgl/, complete newfag here.
I'm planning on making my first cosplay and I'm planning on making it on Arkham Knight's Scarecrow.
A friend that has been doing coplay for a while told me about a couple of people that make props where I live but I want to experience of making everything myself, even if I have minor experience with modelling from school.
This brings my question, I'm planning on making a livecast of myself for this endeavor and if I enjoy cosplaying, to have something to start working into.
Do I have to make casts for every cosplay I intend or one is enough? Is it possible to remove clay from those casts or do I have to make a new one after I put clay on it for some latex prosthetics?.
Any advice to a complete newbie on this? My next idea is making a Controller from STALKER series.

Do your lifecast in an ultracal clay and layer it in with burlap to give it strength. My lifecast is around 6 years old and still going strong. When removing clay just use a wooden tool.

*ultracal stone not clay. And make sure to sculpt with a non sulfur clay like Chavant NSP if you want an easy cleanup.

Don't bother. OP will get all the help he needs here.

Practice makes perfect. The more you sculpt the better you will get. I would highly recommend picking up some anatomy books and just play with the clay and make simple forms.

Thank you. If this project is still alive after I start college I'll keep asking questions and asking for feedback (If it isn't against the rules of the board). Now I need to fly to the kitchen.
Thanks for your support!
(Sometimes I forget there's friendly boards in this site, lol)

As long as you stay in the cosplay threads, you'll be fine. Lolitas are mentally retarded and will bitch at anyone who's even slightly imperfect.

If you ever need any help Walridercosplay on facebook is my tag. I've been sculpting for a long time so I can give pointers along the way.
