#worbla armor

[foedhrass]

“Then the name of the forest was changed and Mirkwood it was called, for the nightshade lay deep there, and few dared to pass through, save only in the north where Thranduil’s people still held the evil at bay.”

J.R.R. Tolkien, The Silmarillion, ch. Of the Rings of Power and the Third Age

Thranduil: Foedhrass

The armor is made after a glimpse of an armor seen in a bts video of the Hobbit, and two drawings in the Hobbit Chronicles book by Wetaworkshop. The helmet is made after a design by John Howe.

The armor is fully made of worbla (and foam/foam clay as base/decoration).

The gauntlets for my Guild Wars 2 cosplay are done, other than sanding and painting! I still intend to finish this costume lol, it's just taking me extra time because life. All pieces are made of worbla over foam or cardboard, or by itself. The gloves are made from the same fabric (hand-dyed by me) as the rest of the costume. Everything is fully articulated to move with my hand and arm. The only armor piece I have left is the upper arm. Then it's just wiring, sanding, painting, and styling the wig! Woo! I'm pretty excited for this cosplay. Not only is it the most complex and difficult costume I've built, but it has also been with me through some tough times. At some point, I'll have to put all the pieces on and share some pictures :-)

How solid are these costume spikes that you continually manage to spear food on them???

hehehe ok so theyre both very soild. phos's neck spikes are sculpey III clay and karna's spikes are rolls/cones of black worbla (100% kind of a pain to do well and uniformly)

the funny thing about this is when i first made both of those costume pieces, i was debating if i should do something solid like clay/worbla or something soft like foam, i ended up on a hard material based on fears that it would bend/crack/get damaged BUT it just so happens that that decision had the added benefit of SPIKE TIME

#buuut they also have the downside that they have the ability to spike things i dont want #ie karnas spikes getting caught on things constantly #and the worbla spikes with foam armor is AAHHH #no casualties yet but you win some #lose some

wah my sewing machine hates me (keeps breaking needles) and none of my props are finished either so I’m going to finish black mask for rccc this september

my updated sakuracon plans are:

fri: shion (white turtleneck outfit)

sat: fts snake (i’ll take delta pics later)

sun: secondary winter outfit goro (again bc i took like. one pic of it last time)

I’m pretty disappointed to not wear something with… craftsmanship in it? or props really? after all the effort and money I put toward it… but I think I’d rather have fun and make my costume the best it can be for later 😮‍💨

#text #Ive learned a lot making it at least 🤷 esp about pattern making and worbla #i finished sanding my sword last night but still need to paint it. and the feet and hand armor is fully primed #i really lose momentum when I stop working on stuff though. I hope I can keep it up

I'm so excited to share my most recent cosplay from Connichi 2023!

Cosplay made and worn by me (@ganondoerfli)

Character: Link from The Legend of Zelda - Tears of the Kingdom

Armor Set: Mystic Set

Photos taken by my BFF: @ithilcelevon

Date of photos: 2023-09-12

Keep reading for more details on the making of the cosplay props:

🌸The Satori mask🌸:

I made this mask using worbla on a foam base. The LEDs I used inside the eyes were taken from LED tea candles. They give the light a cool flickering effect.

🌸The right arm🌸:

For Rauru's right arm I wore the runes on top of a scaly glove.

-> First I sewed the glove from a very textured jersey fabric.

-> Then I added some artificial nails on top, which I modified to look like claws.

-> In order to construct the pattern for the runes, I actually had to create a makeshift cast of my arm first. For this, I wrapped my whole arm in newspaper and crepe tape. After cutting the cast open and removing it from my arm, I filled it with more newspaper to make it sturdy enough to work with.

-> This paper cast of my arm was perfect for constructing the pattern, since it could be rotated in any direction (as opposed to my real arm🙃)

-> Using the finished pattern, I made the runes from foam rubber and worbla and shaped them with heat. I painted them using terra-cotta spray paint.

🌸The clothing🌸:

I used satin fabric for a nice and flowing look on the clothes.

In order to recreate the shimmering pattern on the robe, I used heat transfer vinyl.

🌸The armor🌸:

All armor pieces are made from foam and worbla. I've been using this technique for many years, it really works great! The armor pieces were then painted with lacquer and gold acrylic paint.

Making this cosplay was a lot of fun!

Tears of the Kingdom offers so many beautiful designs and outfits.

I can't wait to make more from this game! <3

It's happening.

I'm in full con crunch mode, but I decided I needed to finally join the Destiny shoot this year at DragonCon, so I've been crafting as fast as my fingers and work schedule allow the last few days to get this done!

Tonight I have a TON of painting to do and a little bit more sewing before I pack all this up and fly to Atlanta EARLY Wednesday morning!

She's a warlock bb!

P.S. amazing 3D print of Risk Runner thanks to Designed by 3D!

But you don't get to say anything about my armor skills because this was my first time working with foam & worbla. I'll get better, but this was "get it done" mode.

let's hear it for the 2.5 weeks late and low quality cosplay pics 🔥🔥🔥

ID in alt text, materials/methods explained under the readmore! i DIY'd almost everything here.

wig used to be even and straight - cut and styled myself

gas mask is EVA foam, hot glue, LED tea lights, & cut up surgical mask material in front of the lights (and another mask inside. cosplay covid safe!!). Painted with acrylic and rub 'n buff

armor is worbla thermoplastic and EVA foam, D rings and webbing for straps, spray paint and acrylic - i made this about 2 years ago lmao

jeans used to be white. i had 2 failed dying attempts which included dropping my phone in the dye bath and almost burning myself a few times before i got them this color the 3rd try. also D rings and webbing straps.

not fully included in the pics but inside the mask is a mic that i hooked up to a soundcard & speaker to use as a voice changer (and amp- it's hard to project your voice through multiple layers of mask and painted foam !)

i super recommend including cargo pants in your cosplays. in or on my pants i was able to carry phone, wallet, extra mask, sound card, speaker, advil, con program, 32 oz water bottle, and an entire quesadilla

#ex #evil xisuma #evil x #hermitcraft cosplay #hermitcraft #🌙 #cosplay #i kind of. hate every picture i take of myself. posting anyways though #i dont hate how i look im the sexiest beast on the planet. just dont like pics. oh well #🌕

I had a great time at SiliCon last weekend, and as always David Ngo did an excellent job capturing my Abyss Watcher cosplay!  I can't believe it's been three years since my last big con D=  Covid and some other things put a damper on my motivation, but I'm ready to be back and better than ever!  Photographer: David Ngo

I don't play a lot of fighting games (because I'm REALLY BAD) but the Soul Calibur series was always one of my favorites, and Tira was my favorite character of the lot BY FAR. Something about her just really spoke to me, and getting to cosplay her was such a dream. This cosplay is an absolute mess, it was my first ever really big build with armor, using foam and worbla and I'd love to remake it one day.

Nyx has been on my cosplay list since 2020 and I have been gleefully swatching and buying supplies since then, but dreading actually starting the project. :( Her giant armor and wig are such a cool design, but are otherwise a really big logistical problem. How do I travel with a wig like this, how far will I be able to turn my head, how long will I be able to have this on my body before I hate it? I don't even really feel comfortable talking about it in more than hypotheticals because I'm genuinely not sure if it's gonna get done.

I spent a couple hours tonight roughing out the general shape of her wig and headgear. I'm really really grateful that my friends helped me do a head cast a few years ago, because trying this stuff on my own body would be too much to bother with. I was hoping I could use some old worbla scraps to help rough out her head wings, but in working with it again I'm remembering why I don't really like it that much. I'll probably replace it with more aluminum foil to get the general shape nailed down before I start breaking the wig down into modular pieces.

It's best girl's birthday! I haven't worn my version 2.0 of BlackRose since this 2020 shoot, LOL but I am so very proud of my remake. When I first made her in 2015, it was my first armor project and of course I picked an intense one 😂 But so worth it for one of my favorite characters I've adored since I was like, 14! I made it look better throughout the years, but ultimately decided to remake most of it during the pandemic since I had a lot of unexpected free time. Foam > Worbla forrealsies. I trashed my 2015 armor and boots immediately after I finished the new one (same wig, sword, and stockings though). Also, a fun fact: A very expensive Victoria's Secret strapless bra that I hadn't worn since 2009 was used as a base for the top of my remake version 😎 I knew I held onto it for a good reason!
