EmfiCosplay

I love Con shenanigans so much

The Prosthetics are made out of latex, but I'm going to cast them a bit differently the next time, so that they don't crease as much and to hide the seams easier. Once the cosplay is finished I'm also going to apply a bald cap.

I'm going to wear Hades next Sunday for the Cosplay Cherry Blossom Meet. (But paired with Getos/Kenjakus Beach Outfit since I'm still working on Hades "Himation" and Chiton)

I'm obsessed with this little ball of fluff since she first appeared.

Tomorrow I'm going to LBM a book and manga/comic convention with very strict rules for cosplays and since mine are all Demons, Monsters and/or crazy head wounds I can't wear any of them.

So I decided to make this tiny thing.

Her body is completely made out of cotton wool and held in shape by a ton of got to be glued hairspray and the arms are attached with hot glue.

The horn is mostly aluminium foil and hot glue.

All the colour is either permanent markers or make Up.

She has a magnet on the bottom so I can carry her on my shoulder.

The whole project took like 2 hours.

(her horn is a bit too big, but who cares🤷‍♂️)

Here's a carry test from earlier today. I've added a bit more cotton since then.

Guess who's ready for his fur!

He's looking way friendlier than originally planned, but maybe it'll change once he's hairy. If not, who cares.

My biggest question is how to make his beaded veil? In the game it's easy because it's 2d, but in real life? I have no idea how to make this look good.

I have 3 ideas and I like none of them.

A) If I put it on his forehead, it's just flush against his face and is in his eyes.

B) I put it a bit away from his face and just his snout sticks out

C) he gets a hat(??) Or something with a wide brim where the vail is attached to.

I'm open to ideas. I'd really like to add this.

To give some context: I'm studying "Figurentheater" (animated theatre) in Germany (it includes Material theatre, object theatre and Puppetry + some puppet making and set design) and for finals we have to create a show.

I'm going to make a horror theatre performance based/inspired by Edgar Allan Poes "the tell tale heart" with 2 people, shadow theatre and a puppet (+maybe masks)

Right now I'm working on the puppet of the old man

Today I'm working on the skin texture and hopefully start with the mold. I'm going to do a silicone mold with a hard shell (either plaster bandages or resin depending on the weather). And then cast the head in silicone.

Yesterday I made the eyes (they're made out of UV resin and acrylic paint)

I couldn't decide on the colour for the second eye so I made all of them, but I'm going to use the brown.

And here's a bad scan of the first sketch I made. I'm using it only loosely for orientation.

So yeah!

I finally started with Narinders Head!

When I first started to sculpt this thing, I thought I knew what a cat looked like...

But I do not. But I made a tape pattern, scaled it with the printer and made a paper test.

And yeah....dude looks like he stumbled right out of a disney cartoon.

Still. I made the foam base.

He still needs to be heat shaped but right now it's 11:15 pm and I don't want to wake the neighbours.

I think I can get rid of some of the cutesy-ness with some sanding and Foam clay.

I can figure out the jaw tomorrow and then start with the mouth or eyes.

Overall I'm quite happy and there is nothing un-fixable :)

I've started to plan my the one who waits cosplay. so this is just a quick idea dump / cosplay breakdown, so that i don't forget anything.

The plan is to finish Narinder for games com in August. Thats 5 1/2 months to figure out how to make a hopefully realistic furhead. but I've never made one, so this could also go horribly wrong. Originally I wanted to make Narinder really tall, but after having to wear 60cm diy stilts for my void (berserk) cosplay and thoroughly hating it I decided to go a bit smaller with 30cm stilts. so that i'll be around 2m once i'm finished.

here's the current to do list:

-> furhead:

Eva foam headbase (this way I can sculpt a small version of the head and the scale the pattern with the printer)

Acrylic follow me eyes

mouth (teeth, tongue, etc.)

patterning and furring

ears?????? idk how to make them

silicone nose

detailing

-> stilts:

wood

30cm high

add ankle support

wear hidden kneepads.

-> slimy bone arms:

probably a tight long sleeved shirt with the bones made out of cotton and latex and hidden buttons or Velcro connect the sleeves and gloves

not sure how to get the slimy look

-> gloves and finger extensions:

not sure if I do 4 or 5 fingers (character design says 4, but it'll get uncomfortable at a con)

finger extensions probably out of Eva Foam

detailing with cotton and latex

hidden velcro or button holes

-> robe:

embroidery details in silver or gray

maybe beading

-> face covering:

no idea how to make this thing. either its really far away from the forehead to hide the muzzle or its just going to stick out.

beads.

-> chains and shackles:

Eva Foam

hidden velcro
