I was wondering if you knew any tips or tutorials on how to make a hollow foam fat suit in terms of how to shape them? I can't really find much online (Maybe I'm searching the wrong terms? Whenever I search "foam fat suit tutorial" on youtube I get more foam muscle suits than what I'm trying to find). I'm planning on making a rounder character before summer. I would really appreciate the help and would be very thankful
When it comes to getting a general reference on doing these tpye of suits, I think these videos provide a good starting point.
Of course, the exact materials and exact methods you use depend on the characters, amount of storage space, and budget. For example, I make packing tape patterns, normally use materials like fleece or fur, and hand sew the seams closed, instead of using the draping or stretching method.
But again, these work as good references to go by and work off from in terms of building costumes in the cosplay hobby.
