About this Costume
- Construction Details:
-
The armor is all made from worbla laid over foam. I made the foam and accents from foam first then heat bonded the worbla to it, just one layer on top. I pressed the worbla all around to make the designs come out and shaped the pieces to my own figure. I also did the painting, red spray pain and acrylic gold. The dragon on the chest is based on Tolkien design.
The horns were made from a tutorial involving tin foil and a rudimentary paper mache. The texture was made by simple hot glue.
I did NOT make the wings; they came from Etsy. The scale mail portion was made by my boyfriend, thedoctorboy.The design is my own and still needs some tweeking. - Personal Thoughts:
- I never thought I would do something like this, armor, creative design but it was very rewarding!
